Windowblinds not picking up downloaded skins

from Stardock Forums

Hello out there, I've got a bit of a problem here, I have just downloaded some skins from wincustomise, they downloaded from wincustomise into windowblinds by default, now when I come to have a look at them, they are not in the windowblinds folder, nor are they in the windowblind app., somewhere along the line the gremlins have nicked them, plus it was a lot of graft finding all the skins I wanted, after doing a fresh install of windows the other day, I mean every other blind went straight in, no bother, so is it a problem my end or what, please can someone help me with this, thank you

I run WindowsXP SP3, dualcore cpu, 3 gigs of ddr2 ram, here is my sys. info

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.2 (build 61 x86)

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

Try opening up WindowBlinds configuration, click on skin options and click rebuild list. I have found that sometimes if it's a free skin to members where you receive a link to downloand they go right into WindowBlinds and are available for you to look at but if you download a skin from the library most of the time I have to rebuild the list for it to show.

What are the names of the skins that are not showing?

Oops, no edit button. If they don't show in the WBs folder that tells me somewhere the download went bad. Have you tried redownloading the skin?

Philly thanks for the response my friend, but on this one I hang my head in shame and embarassment, I had winrar set to save file instead of default windowblinds, I have had my missus slap me hard twice across my bald head, although after that we ended up in bed, so that wasn't much of a punishment, but no sorry for wasting your time Philly, I would say it will never happen again but.........

Cheers Philly thats how I feel

Not a problem, and all slapping should end up in the bedroom.  :SURPRISED:  ;)

Me thinks that's where it should start... in fact, I'm over the missus' knee the moment she sits on the bed. ;P

Yep... and it's quality slapping, too... sheer quality. :d ;p :p :d :LOL:

A quality spanking from the missus beats self-flagellation any day. :d
