From the help file in WindowBlinds....


Windows 98/ME/2000: A Skins tab has been added to Display Properties. Use the Windows and buttons dropdown to select a skin to apply. The WindowBlinds button will take you to the Advanced Configuration window and allow you to adjust additional settings (like which controls are skinned, performance optimizations, and excluded applications). The Advanced button lets you configure font and color settings for the current skin.

Windows XP: The Appearance tab in Display Properties has been enhanced to allow you to select and apply WindowBlinds skins

Download a WindowBlind skin (.wba file). Double click it to install it. To activate it go to your Display Properties dialog and press the Appearances tab. Select the skin from the drop down list and press Apply.
