Trying to read your post, with the lack of punctuation, and proper words, is giving me a headache.......

To use a DX theme, object, or widget, you need DesktopX installed. You say you have downloaded it..... have you installed it?

Try to explain your problem clearly, so we can try to help.

https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/ download WindowsBlinds and install (reboot), then double click the GT3 file you downloaded already and it will install.

God almighty, from your lack of grammer, pucntuation and spelling I can see why you have problems using a computer. Take your time - it's really quite logical. Do exactly what Yraq has said, but for the time being I suggest you remove anything else you have installed such as DesktopX. Innit Wicked

Hello ? any 1 now i feel like happy and lost lol someone turn the light back on.

each skin needs to have the relevent program installed in order to work.  A WindowBlinds skins needs WindowBlinds installed.  A DesktopX theme needs DesktopX installed, etc, etc.....etc.


in the description box in each gallery is a link to the software.


at the top of the Wincustomize page is a tab named 'Software'


DesktopX is not a full version free....it's a trial version

In the Wincustomize Forums, if you slowly look down on the main forum page, you will see that some posts have been there a while and actually show a pin in them.


Look for Koasati's tips for new users and Skarn's having trouble posts.

Hey,pitty pat...I found your post a little difficult to understand as well, but I certainly wouldn't ridicule or make fun of you. There's many reasons why some cannot spell very well or put what we're thinking down on paper/into words, but in many cases it's through no fault of their own, and others (who can) need to understand that.
I know several people who cannot spell or write too well, though not through a lack of intelligence, but rather because of something like dyslexia, ADDHD, etc, and they are able to read reasonably well. You seem to fit into that category, as does my son (dyslexia) and we found that slowing down alot helped, reading back over what he had written a few times to see where he could improve it. I don't know if that's of any help to you, but hey, give it your best shot and you'll do okay.

pitty pat,

If your intention is to use the "GT3" skin, then you will need to download WindowBlinds 5, which you can find here http://www.download.com/WindowBlinds/3000-2326_4-10026826.html

Once you download it to your desktop, simply double-click it to install, and follow the prompts to complete the installation (such as allowing "Activate.exe" to access the internet, if prompted by your firewall).

After installing WindowBlinds 5, restart your computer, which should also include displaying the WindowBlinds configuration panel after Windows loads successfully. This is the dialog that you will use to select a skin to apply when you are ready.

To use the "GT3" skin, you will need to right-click the "zip" file > select "Extract" > click Next once or twice, and then click "Finish" to complete the extraction. You will then be looking at the following:

1 - "GT3wb5.wba" file

2 - "userpix" folder

Double-click the "GT3wb5.wba" file to install the skin into the WindowBlinds folder.

Start WindowBlinds (Start > All Programs > Object Desktop > WindowBlinds icon) > scroll in the list in the lower portion of the WindowBlinds configuration dialog until you see the GT3 skin > select (click on) the GT3 skin > click the "Apply skin now" text that you see in the preview pane (where the skin preview image is showing) > wait a few seconds while the skin applies > have fun.

If you do not want to install WindowBlinds, then the GT3 file you linked to above will not work for you.

Note - WindowBlinds 5 is a shareware program, and will run for 60 days before you will need to decide to either purchase it, or remove it from your computer.

One additional note, the shareware version of WindowBlinds will only display "transparent" window borders with the skins that are included with the program, therefore; GT3 skin transparencies in the window borders will display as "non-transparent".

This can obviously be overcome by purchasing the program if you find that you like it.

Sir Lantec, in some cases there are poor unfortunate souls who experience great difficulty grasping the concept of reading writing and arithmetic, not because the system is either good, bad or indifferent, but because they have conditions that interfere with their perception/comprehension/understanding/disemination and retention of things many of us take for granted.
However, given the increasing number of kids leaving school lacking basics skills and abilities....the education systems of many countries need a good swift kick in the pants.
