Need help installing my Skins!

April 29, 2005 7:14 AM from

Hey all, I'm new to the whole XP theme modification scene, I just installed 'Window Blinds' and have applied a few of the different bundled themes that come with it. This is all well and good but I'm looking to install some additional skins I've downloaded. I've read the 'Guide to Beginners' post which addresses this stuff but am still at a loss as to how I get these new skins I've downloaded installed.

Some of the skins I've downloaed are folders (not zipped or anything) whilst others are a single '.dxtheme' file. I read that the 'dxtheme' files are for 'Desktop X', is this a different skinning program to Window Blinds that I should install?

Anything that anyone can tell me about installing these new skins would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advanve, JonBOY26!

Just figured out I needed to download the '.wba' skins for 'Window Blinds' instead of the other formats. All up and running! Now to see if I can find a good Mac OS X skin! I'm a Mac user at heart.....just can't afford the damn things! Thats OK, the people at AquaXP.com are doing marvels in emulating the OS X look and that'll do for now.
