Can't add a theme to WinBlinds

from Stardock Forums
On a different forum by the name of Lackadaisy, someone showed us his desktop and believe you me it was AWESOME! I said "hey, how'd you do that?" The person directed me to wincustomize.com I asked the person what his theme was called and I searched it. I found it.WWW Link I downloaded it. I installed WindowBlinds. I tried to add the theme to WinBlinds so I could apply it. Didn't work. The program said: "There appears to be no .uis file in this skin. Are you sure it is a WindowBlinds skin?" I then clicked ok and nothing happened. wtf? I searched this forum for a clue as to what is going on. I went thru two pages of threads. I didn't see anything except for maybe I should change the .zip file extension to .wba... I tried that and had the same result. Here is a picture of the contents of the .zip folder unzipped in a new folder. *note: I tried to add the .zip file since when I opened the folder of unzipped contents it had none of the file name extensions it recognised* **forgot to mention I have the free 60 day trial of WindowBlinds**

Hmm. No zip file contents there, just an ad. Could you have been spoofed?

Please post the contents of the System Information panel of the WindowBlinds Configuration dialog as well as the name of the theme or skin that you are trying to install. If it is an entire "theme" you are trying to install (which typically includes a skin, icons, wallpaper & sometimes more), you may need more than just WindowBlinds to install it.

The folder contents appeared after clicking off the ad. Definitely not the contents of a skin folder. Looks something like a Rainlendar calendar file, so we need more info to help sort it out.

themax620; your link goes to the WindowBlinds skin, but what you show in pic is the matching Rainlender skin for Turning Leaves. Try redownloading from your link. This skin should download as a .wba file and self install.

Once in a while you will get an actual zip (Firefox know the difference)that may have the WB and an extra in it. When you redowload, if it's a zip explore inside and see if maybe there is a .wba inside with other items.

But a WB skin by itself, as Cavan1 said, should download as a .wba and if you save it then double click it will self install (or choose open with WB initially)
