Installing a WindowBlind Theme

from WinCustomize Forums

Hi, I'm very new to this and have just downloaded my first WindowBlind called Elite x360a. It is a zip file but I have no idea where to unzip it to.  There is a folder in my Documents..., All Users, Shared Documents, Stardock, Windowblinds. Is this where it goes? I'm afraid to put it in the wrong place...

Thanks for all your help,

Hi, newcomer! Do you have Windowblinds installed? You need to have to program to apply the themes/skins. :)

Just extract the files anywhere then double click on the wba file and it will self install. Any other content goes to it's respective folder.(Dock backgrounds,weather backdrops,walls,etc.) If a wall is included you can just drag it onto the wallpaper preview window in WB config and it will be copied into the WB wallpapers folder.:sun:

@ Doc. Judging by that I would say WB's is installed and on XP.;)

Another sidenote:

Suanough, Wizard is absolutely correct about installing themes.

Now let me tip you off concerning archiving. Every time I download a theme (that I like) I save a copy of the .wba in a separate folder. This will come in handy if you ever get a new machine, or worse yet, if something happens to your current machine.
