I'm just wondering if that many changes occured to where a theme for 1.4.x wouldnt work on 1.5.x.

This was the theme I was looking at.

I have 1.5.x but that theme is for 1.4.x. :-/

is it a joke ?
Your link show the classic theme witch was ported for CPG 1.5.x. You should search before asking  :(
Avez vous lu la DOC ? la FAQ ? et cherché sur le forum avant de poster ?

I assume teedizz changed the theme, then browsed through the gallery and copied the link from the address bar later. If so, the theme is only stored in the cookie and the theme parameter has been "lost".

teedizz: we need an url with the theme parameter, e.g. http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/index.php?theme=xyz - you can find all available themes in our cpg1.5.x demo. If your preferred theme isn't listed there, it hasn't been ported yet. Feel free to port it yourself and ideally share it with the community.

BTW is there a list of themes that are in process or targeted for conversion?
I Had noticed some interesting things on  i2theme-1-1-classic-left in 1.4 that I wanted to test in 1.5.  But it does not work as-is in 1.5.  And using "Converting cpg1.4.x themes to cpg1.5.x" it doesn't look like a standard 1.4 theme either

There's no list, as the dev team don't convert themes, as the most themes are contributed by users. If a theme conversion doesn't work as expected, probably the theme.php file has been heavily modified. You'd need to check the changes regarding the original cpg1.4.x code and apply that changes to the new cpg1.5.x code. There's no tutorial how to do that as it might be a tricky task to apply the modifications.
