Also here is a .zip file containing this image 3 templates and an editable text file.

Thanks very much for this tutorial. I've been having trouble with the Throbbers for long time. It always stays on a previous Throbber from a skin I'm not using any more.

EDIT - I solved the problem, found the file.

Best regards.

Thanks very much for this tutorial. I've been having trouble with the Throbbers for long time. It stays on a previous Throbber from a skin I'm not using any more. All I could find is the addon.toolbaricons file inside "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds\SkinStudio6\SkinStudioTemplates\TemplateUIS2" And same in TemplateUIS1 Nothing in the WB folder The file looks like this- [ToolbarIcons.Info] SkinName=TemplateUIS2 SkinAuthor=Microsoft Design Team Generator=SkinStudio - http://www.skinstudio.net [ToolbarIcons.Internet.Large] Image=TemplateUIS2\ToolbarInternetLarge.tga So, my question is, should I create another file with my skin name and place it in the WB folder directly or edit this files? I'm not sure and quite scared to mess up my setup Any help appreciated Thanks anyway for sharing this info that very few people know about Best regards

EX....on XP (Skin I just did) S.U.I.Y.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds\S.U.I.Y.

then find the AddonToolbarIcons  it will have the SKS icon

Note: That file will be in that skin .However that file is not created untill you edit at least 1 of the toolbar or internet icon images and then save in sks and it will create the Base file which is then edited through sks every time you edit an icon image , but you can edit that file anytime after it is created.

If you need more just let me know and I will help!

Thank you so much! My WB is released, I was only waiting for the Throbber to update itself and now I know it would never happen without your tutorial!
