Cool New Themes and a Possible Bug in Radio.

Cool New Themes and a Possible Bug in Radio

I just found Phil Jennet's wicked cool themes when I helped a Radio client get one installed.  Themes are here:

Here's the problem: when he went to the site and clicked on them they were displayed as text in his browser.  I had him back up and do a Save As but still no luck.  I tried it across two separate Radio installations (one downloaded 60 days ago and one downloaded 2 days ago) and the newer Radio worked fine.  I think that the older Radio may have registered the .fftb file as viewable when it's actually a binary. 

Either way: Here's the recommendation for Phil Jennet (I emailed this to him too): Zip the files for PC use and .SIT the files for Mac use.  Zip files / Sit files are always treated as binary.

Moral of the story: I IM'd my client the file and now he has one of those new wicked cool templates!  Thanks Phil!

Why Didn't Radio.Root Updates Fix This?  Given that Radio.Root (the internal structure / program that is Radio) is updated nightly, you'd think it would fix it, wouldn't you?  -- well, mime settings (if that's it) are external to Radio.Root.  They're created at install time by the setup wizard.
