How to install .zip and .desktop?

Thursday, June 7, 2007 by lawsonrc | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

The themes with a .wba extension install directly and immediately to Windowblinds, but I can't find on the website how to install themes which have a .zip and .desktop extension. Any help with step-by-step instructions or with links on the website is greatly appreciated.

.zip is a compressed file, can decompress it with Winzip or Winrar.

Many thanks, Bebi Bulma, for the WC Download Guide.

After I decompress a .zip file, how do I get Theme directly installed into Windowblinds to use?

I appreciate your help.

.desktop are for DesktopX, not WindowBlinds.  I think we need Bebi to suppy another tutorial.

Depends on what extension you get after downloading the file.

As my previously linked article explains, check the gallery description for the file you're downloading. It will tell you what program you need to run it.
