Rainlendar Skin Problem
Friday, February 1, 2008 by -O-rigin | Discussion: OS Customization
Hello,
I hope this post is in the correct section.
I've been wanting to alter/learn about the Rainlendar skins by analyzing the default "Shadow4" skin, as is suggested by the creator himself.
However, the skin is *not* in .zip format (as I've been told twice now) hence cannot be unpacked. It's in the "Skins" folder as a system file (.r2 file) and cannot be opened/unpacked as such (that I know).
I'm not a novice with computers by any means, but I cant find a way to open/unpack the file/skin and cannot find another file of it in a different form.
I'm using v2.3 lite, btw.
Any help/suggestions on what the deal is with this skin and being able to unpack it somehow, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much.

Nope, that doesn't work. It's still an .r2 file, not a .zip file.

Simply rename the skin to *.zip

Control Panel/ Folder Options/ View: un-check 'Hide extensions for known file types'. Apply. Now rename the file.
