Ok, the file format should be either .wba, or a .zip file. If it's the first, just double-click the .wba file, and it will install itself. If it's the latter, you need to extract it. Right-Click the .zip, then click extract. There might be several options to extract to, depending on what proggy your running. Once you have extracted, there will be a .wba file, so just double-click it to load the skin. Once you have the skin loaded, you may delete the original .wba, or keep it if you like.

Remember, you need the windowblind program to use the windowblind skin.

Sorry, I assumed you had already purchased ObjectDesktop or Windowblinds. WOM is right, you need Windowblinds to apply any Windowblinds skins that you download from WinCustomize. The link to this is below.
Here is the Stardock Homepage where you will be able to find all the info. needed to make a purchase. https://www.stardock.com/

If you need the programs, look at the top of this page, there's a tab called 'software'.

The icons should be in .CurXPTheme, just double-click that file, or place that file in C:\Program Files\CursorXP\Themes or wherever you created CursorXP.
Icons will come in several formats, .iconpackage, .iptheme, .ip. You can also double-click this to auto-install, or place those files in C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\IconPackager\Themes folder...or wherever you have that folder located.
If the IconPackager themes are Zipped, then right-click the .zip file, then click extract, then choose where you want to extract the contents to. Once this is done, follow the directions directly above to install.
!!!NOTE!!! You need to have installed...CursorXP...and IconPackager for those themes to work. Link below.
