Hi Michael. I was hoping you (or someone else on the forum) could give me some detailed step-by-step instructions on how to install the Cherub theme and icons on Moi3d beta-5 for Mac.
I purchased the package and decompressed it, then copied the files including the font and icon folders to the directories specified in the instructions; googled and followed other instructions; tried everything I can think of but have had no success. It switched to a dark theme and removed the 'Manage Themes' button from the Options menu - but that was all.
Any and all advice would be most appreciated. Cheers, Simon.

Hi Simon,
This might be of interest, later on.
[removed two video links as they may be only valid with older versions v3/v4 and confuse]
"Custom UI Plugin" (not a 'skin' just extra functionality)

I think you can fairly easy add your icons on the bottom using custom ui.

What do the included instructions say exactly?
If it says to overwrite the entire standard UI inside the MOI app itself, that is problematic on any MOI version other than the one they snapshotted from.
Probably that theme pack will only work correctly on Moi version 4.
In Moi version 5 there is a new theme mechanism to improve this exact thing, so you can distribute a theme and switch back and forth between themes without needing to modify the app installation itself.

Yeah that sounds like you're ending up with a UI copied from MOI version 4.
Basically you'll be missing everything that had new UI in version 5.
I'd recommend to only use this package on MOI version 4 and not v5 or later.
