If you download the shareware version from somewhere like C|Net, it is a .exe installer. It should start the install with a double click. If you are going through Object Desktop then download through Component Manager and click install. If you just downloaded a theme from the library on this site you will need the Windowblinds program first. Check here:

deb, are you talking about a skin from this site, or windowblinds the program?

For any WindowBlinds(WB) skin to work from this site, you'll need WB, the program, available here: http://www.windowblinds.net in a demo version.

If you already have Windowblinds installed, double click on the systray icon, go to the "themes section" and hit the install new skin button, browse to where your prevoiusly dowbloaded skin is at. Then it will appear in the list of skins, and you can select it and hit apply - voila! new desktop.

If you have WB installed it should be as easy as unzipping the file and double clicking on the ".wba" file inside. Alternately you can open WB config and load the skin directly out of the zip file. If this does not work the file might be corrupted. Most other sites are fine to download from, like the ones in the community box to left.

If there is not a .wba zip file within the zip file, just rename the file to have a .wba extension.

Or from within WindowBlinds use the Install New Skin button and just point to the zip file.
