OP
after installing windowblinds and executing it to run, you´ll see a lil windowblind icon sitting on the right side of your lower taskbar, double click it and a config window will pop up and click on the button that says "Install skin from disk" then browse your HD to where you d/l´d the skin and bingo! =)

Well I posted this message once already but it seems to have disappeared, I installed the skins into the directory, thanks for that info. Now one more question, some of the skins I downloaded say they come with right click screensavers and wallpapers, how do I apply them?

go back into the windowblind config and select the icon on the left side that says &quot;system&quot; on the left and under &quot;General Options&quot; you should see something there to stick a bullet in to set your windowblind walls, but either that &quot;or&quot; just go into the wb skin file and manually take the wall out and stick it in the windows directory and set it as your wall as you would any other wallpaper through your Desktop properties.<BR>I don&acute;t have the latest build of wb (cuz I&acute;m too lazy to update & work on too many machines now) but I &quot;Think&quot; the wb that the artist set a screen saver to have a plugin or button you find and click on to activate the screensaver &quot;or&quot; again you have to go and pick that out manually from the skin file and place into your windows directory (not sure)

Well I tried both of the suggestions that you gave to try to install the wallpaper and neither worked. I have looked in the folders of the skins that say they came with wallpapers or screensavers and cannot find anything there either. Any other suggestions to try? The skins I downloaded were created by chichigirl, maybe she&acute;ll read this and can help.

Hi tb_wb, R/click screen saver means you can R/click on the &quot;top&quot; frame of windowblinds and it will activate your own screensavers they you have on! As for my wallpapers I think I have mentioned on my skins uploaded here, that they are available at my web site, I never said they where inside the zip file, sorry for the confusion. My site is http://chichigirl46.0catch.com and that is where the matching skins are :-) I hope I was able to help you :-)

What are you waiting for lady, up date those wblinds, but it is a nice feature, sometimes I like to hide what I&acute;m doing and my screen saver is programed to come on in 15min, not fast enough sometimes he hee, so all ya have to do is R/click on the frame ontop and it looks like I was not on the computer instead of getting supper going lol.... just uninstall your wblinds and reboot and reinstall the &quot;newset&quot; version he hee.....
