OP
1. Download WindowBlinds from http://www.stardock.com <BR>2. Dump your skins in the right folder <BR>3. Run WindowBlinds <BR>4. Poke around till you find the settings window (I think it&acute;s in the display properties these days) <BR> <BR> <BR>Argh! We need a FAQ!

Yeah, on 3.0 it&acute;s display properties. That&acute;s why I keep an older version in my bag (for those places where display properties are disabled :) ).

I think you need to actually purchase WindowBlinds before you can apply skins other than those packaged with the program? Not sure on that....

I hate reading fac&acute;s pages myself, they always make it too long, rather then give it to me straight..... How about at the &quot;Top&quot; of the windowblinds skin page a short warning..... you must have windowblind program to use these skins.............. as far as needing the registered windowblind thats up to Stardock to tell their customers it won&acute;t install new skins :-)

That&acute;s do-able :) <BR> <BR>Personally, I&acute;ve never understood how people find their way to the WindowBlinds section (it always seems to be WindowBlinds) to download skins if they don&acute;t even know what WindowBlinds is. <BR> <BR>But I think chichigirl&acute;s ideas is a good one. <BR> <BR>To use the skins in this section you need to have previously installed the [insert program name] first. Find out more about it [insert product description page].

I&acute;m asked that question all the time, so I have this written up. Just apply these instructions to any yahoo skin......... <BR> <BR> <BR>How to install Yahoo Messenger Skin&acute;s <BR> <BR>All my skins are in a .zip format, so you must have a program such as &quot;WinZip&quot; to unzip the files................ <BR> <BR>1. Using your zip file program (winzip) double click on the &quot;zip&quot; file you are wanting to install. <BR> <BR>2. I use the classic mode and I click on the button named &quot;Wizard&quot; and I don&acute;t save it to my favorites folder........ and I click on the &quot;next&quot; button........ <BR> <BR>3. Check the box for &quot;unzip or install from&quot; check box, and then click the &quot;next&quot; button <BR> <BR>4. Then click on the button named &quot;select different folder&quot; <BR> <BR>5. Now follow your path ........ C:/Program Files/Yahoo!/Messenger/Skins/ and click on make a &quot;new folder&quot; and name that folder &quot;exactly&quot; the same as the name of the skin...... and then click on &quot;ok&quot; and then click on &quot;finish&quot; and your done........... <BR> <BR>6. Go into your messenger now and click on &quot;Prefrence&quot; and click on the &quot;appearence tab&quot; and in the drop down window your skins are listed in there, chose the skin you want on ande click &quot;apply&quot;................... Enjoy your skins <BR>&#255;
