One of the updates listed for Fuse 2.2.0 is the Added G-DEC® 3 Special Edition related themes. Where are they? What does that mean that the themes are included in the update?

From the download page
Updates in Fender FUSE 2.2.0:

Added G-DEC® 3 Special Edition related themes
Fixed issue that could cause FUSE to crash while downloading a Band Track
Made the installer more robust
Includes bundled Mustang firmware update versions 1.6 (Mustang I&II) and 1.5 (Mustang III, IV, and V)
Fixed other minor issues.

On the Main Menu bar in FUSE (top left) there is now a THEMES item that you can use to 'skin' the FUSE software with visual styles which are presumably meant to reflect the character of the three special edition GDEC amps - blues, metal and country - as well as the original default FUSE look.

Of no import sound-wise of course, but fun to play with, even for Mustang owners, and especially if you are a completist and want to have FUSE 'matching' your GDEC special amp !

Would be interesting to know if third parties can make GUI 'skins' that could be applied through this new feature ??

That's interesting. I don't see any options for themes in the menu. I have confirmed I loaded 2.2.0.21. I'm running Fuse on a PC.

Are you using a PC or a Mac?

The version of FUSE you need is the latest one, released earlier this week.

When you click on Main Menu - top left of the main FUSE screen - a horizontal menu bar should open with a number of items on it - FILE, VIEW, MEDIA, UTILITIES and, in the LATEST version of FUSE, THEMES. Mouse over that item and a drop dowm menu with the new GUI skins will open, then just pick one and FUSE will be re-skinned with the new look, mostly just a colour change.

I have installed the lastest version released this week, and there is no option for themes in the menu.

I also noticed that when I check the version in the About screen it still doesn't show the correct version #, but when I look at programs listed in control panel it does.

Not sure what is going on, but could it be that the link/icon you are using to open FUSE is somehow linking to and opening the previous version ?

Maybe you should uninstall FUSE from the Windows add/remove programs screen, then reinstall the new version ?

Maybe a Fender rep can comment/help ?

I did un-install the previous version before installing 2.2.0. I use Fuse under my normal standard user account. That's the problem. I discovered if I start Fuse as an Admin version 2.2.0 runs, and the themes menu appears.

I'm not quite sure how the older version is run when I start it as a standard user considering it was un-installed.

Maybe the previous version left registry entries of some kind after you uninstalled it.

Anyway, good to know you now have access to THEMES (although as I said before, the changes are really just a bit of fun).
