Assuming you have downloaded the Windowsblind application ....
All you had to do was download the skin and it will self install into your windowblind config - which you should have an icon in your sys tray .....just open your WB config and find blind and apply .

If the skin was in a zip then you just would open it the double click on the Windowblind load file in zip then it will install.

If you dont have windowblind icon in sys tray - go to your " Display " in control panel - click on appearance tab - then apply wb through there. if blind isnt showing then click on " rebuild skin list "

When you open the config - do you have any shins inside at all ?

When you downloaded the skin did you see a dialog balloon appear near sys tray saying that " xxxx" skin has been added ?

Was the skin a zip full of loose files when you opened it or just 1 file ?

Get the program here and install it. Then double click the file you downloaded.

Unzip the file to C drive> program files> Windowblinds
Then go to your display and open the wb config and hit the rebuild skins " it should appear then.

If you bought Object Desktop then the path is C drive > program files > Stardock > Object Desktop > Windowblinds

Unzip the file to Windowblinds - then open config in your display and hit rebuild skins.

to have your wb config show in sys tray - open wb config from your display then click on " user overrides " check off the "Show Icon in System tray " then apply changes .

Doesn't look like the correct link to me. Did you get the blind from Wincustomize?

works now.


what is working ? Your system tray config icon or the mac os blind ?

The link you gave went to stardock so neither of us can see what blind your trying to install.
