Here&acute;s a guide on how to install/switch skins for Windowblinds: <br /> <br />Installing: <br />The simplest way to install a Windowblinds skin is to doubleclick the downloaded file, providing its named &quot;name.<b>wba</b>&quot; <br />If it is a file named &quot;name.<b>zip</b>&quot; open it and see if is contains either a bunch of images or just a .<b>wba</b>. <br />If the .<b>zip</b> contains just a bunch of images, simple rename the .<b>zip</b> to &quot;name.<b>wba</b>&quot; and doubleclick it. <br />If the .<b>zip</b> contains a .<b>wba</b> file just unpack it and doubleclick it. <br /> <br />Doubleclicking a .<b>wba</b> makes Windowblinds unpack and install the skin in the right location (default location: c:\program files\stardock\object desktop\windowblinds) <br /> <br />&quot;Manually&quot; installing a skin is off course also possible. <br />Simply unpack the downloaded file into the Windowblinds folder (where you installed Windowblinds) <br />Warning: Some skins doesnt come with the proper folder in which the skins <b>must</b> be installed into to work. <br />Letting Windowblinds handle the installation ensures you that the skins will always be installed into the correct folders. <br /> <br />--- <br /> <br />Ok, now you have installed the skin. Let&acute;s apply it: <br />You have two options for applying/changing skins. <br />1) Doubleclick the Windowblinds icon in the systemtray (collection of icons in the right hand corner) <br />This will open the <i>Windowblinds Configuration</i>. From here you can not just change skin but you can also change a number of settings for how Windowblinds should behave. <br />To change skin click, in the &acute;My skins&acute; area, on the skin you want to apply and click the &quot;Apply this skin now&quot; button. <br />If you want to delete a skin, simply click the &quot;Delete this skin&quot; button. (Wont work with the skin in use) ;) <br /> <br />2) Rightclick an empty spot on your desktop and select &quot;Properties&quot;. <br />Click the &quot;Appearance&quot; tab. From here you can also change skins. <br />Just pick the skin you want from the &quot;Windows and buttons&quot; dropdown menu and click OK. <br /> <br />And that ends todays lesson on how to install and apply Windowblinds skins. <br />Tomorrow we&acute;ll be looking at changing tyres on a Boeing 747 during takeoff. <br /> <br />Class dismissed.
