Windowblinds8 default themes

I have installed Windowblinds 8. There are 9  default themes that show in Windowblinds 8 configuration.

There are other themes in the Windowblinds folder that do not show.

How do I make thes other themes available?

Which themes are not showing?

Some of the themes will be for Windows 7 only which may be why they are not showing.

The skins list can be rebuilt from the Rebuild list option from the menu that shows when you click the circular icon with the drop down arrow at the top left of the window.

Neil there is a point here. Just to mention a couple of the skins that are in the WB folder as it comes with WB8 but there are more. Aero Metals and Aero Wood. There are only a few graphics included and can't do anything with them even if you open in sks8. I have made several win7 only skins and they all work well with wb8 on win8 as well as on my win7 So I am a bit confused as to what they are there for also.

BTW: I think both new programs are great and also like the icon change as now I can really see the difference from sks and wb. Main thing is for me the shutdown text. Hope this can be fixed as I think it may be a Start8 thing. Thanks for your hard work.

UIS0 skins do not work on Windows 8.  The missing ones are UIS0.  They do work on Windows 7.

There are a few skinning things which require some tweaks on the side of Start8 as it is not handling them correctly.  This being the shutdown button text and the right hand side text colour being impacted by the system colours in certain circumstances as well as not refreshing the search button graphic + user picture frames on skin change.

How do I know if a skin is UIS0?
