2 WB Themes, same name, and....

I have the 'Halloween' theme by Bones. I also have another theme with the exact same name by DotK - an older WB theme.

Here's my problem. I want to use both, but since they have the same name, I can't, obviously.

I've tried renaming DotK's to Halloween2. Name changed all right, contents are still fine, yet it won't work.

In WB Config, I tried: 'install skin from disk'. When installing from disk, I needed either a WBA or ZIP extension, and since the old theme was already extracted, I needed to zip it, which I did. Tried to install it. Nope, still doesn't show up in WB Config, yet it's in my WB listing in my file manager.

Is there any way I can use both Halloween themes, without resorting to moving one totally out of WB just to use the other one?

Open the skin you want to rename in SkinStudio, go to File > Save As...  (rename it) > OK.   

The paths in the UIS have to be changed when you rename the folder, and this is the simplest way to do it.

Koasati: I had downloaded, in May, Skin Studio Free. Since your instructions indicated I use SS, I decided to extract it and follow your advice. I hadn't yet opened up SSFree, you see.

When I went to then open the app, I get a popup stating that SSFree had expired (?) and gave me a URL to Skin Studio.net.

Haven't downloaded a newer version - I'm hesitant because I may go thru all this downloading/installing only to find that I'd get, yet again, another screen saying the version I downloaded had expired.

I did move Bones's 'Halloween' totally out of my WB folder and I'm using the original 'Halloween' by Dot K right now. I was just hoping not to have to do that.....

Thank you again for your help, Koasati. You've helped me before and I appreciate the time & effort you took to help me out this time.

Hi
Write me an email [email protected] and I will send you the file you need.
I am currently updating the skin, hopefully have it done in a week or two.
Thanks Koasati
