Let's work on Bootskins first......
Where do you download the bootskin to?
Do you have Stardock Central? You need to find the bootskin program file on your hard drive. This is how I get to mine....click on My Computer > Local Disk (C:)(double click on that) > Double click on the file 'Program Files' > Find the file Stardock and double click on that > Find the WinCustom file, double click on that > Then you should see a Bootskin File. Double click on that > There should now be a file in there that says skins. Double click on that. When that is opened that is where the new boot files go. Download or Move or Copy them there.
After you get them there, close that file. Open the Bootskin program. On the upper left corner click on file. From the dropdown list select "import from file". You need to find where that place where the bootskin downloads you have found from earlier. Click on the download and a box should come up that it imported it sucessfully. Click okay. The new bootskin should be now listed in the program. To change your bootskin, click on the new one you want and click apply. It should be there on the next reboot. You can also click on the preview button to see what they look like, but that does not install them.
You know you can download them to a download file and when you open the Program and choose "import from file", just look for the download file and install it from there. I just find it easier to download the skins to the application, that way, I can always find it.
