Newbie question with WB7

February 11, 2010 9:33 PM from

I just installed Windows 7 and purchased and installed Object Desktop. For now, I'm wanting to modify the Windows default Aero theme.

Here are the problems I'm having:

1. I can't find the Windows 7 default Aero theme (skin?). WB7 is only showing Diamond (with the Stardock start button).

2. After I applied the Diamond theme, I wanted to get back to my default Windows 7 Aero them, but it seems that the only way to do this is through the Theme Manager. That doesn't make any sense to me. Why can't I control this through WB7

3. How do I actually install new skins (.WBA) files through WB7? When I point WB7 to a .WBA file, nothing happens ("Install New" under "Skin Options"). It never shows up in WB7.

Thanks

Check your rating(stars) filter for the skins. If it is set too high,some skins will not appear,including default Aero. I set mine to no stars to avoid this .

To install a skin just double click on the .wba file and it will self install.
