Transferred Installed WB Skins
Sunday, March 30, 2008 by msurette | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hi, I apologize if this has been answered before, I searched the boards and was unable to find a solution.
I had WB (as well as other Stardock programs) installed on Laptop A and had several skins download and installed. I backed up all of these on an external hard drive. I now use Laptop B, instead of Laptop A, and copied the folder with the already installed skins and pasted them into the correct folder in the shared documents.
The problem is that these are not showing up in the configuration window, and I'm not sure how to have them installed on this computer now. I found one forum topic that said if the copy/paste of the folder didn't work, then to try archiving the files and renaming it as a .wba file. This didn't work for me either.
I have an account with WinCustomize so I do realize that I am able to re-download all of the ones I have accumulated but I just wanted to see if there was another way since I have all of the files and folders.
Thank you for any help you are able to give.

Thank you so much! This worked perfectly. I don't think I even noticed that drop down menu before. I was focusing on the top menus. Thanks again.
