hehe the new skins shouldnt replace the old skin unless they are named the same.. I have a library of over 100 WB skins in my pc and switch as I feel the need. So down load what you want and install by double clicking them then open WB config and select the one you ewant and apply..its just that simple..

What specific skins are we talking about? Meaning what are you trying to get rid of and which are you trying to apply? Also please post the system info.

this is what it says:
WindowBlinds 5.1 System Information Report:
STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+
WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.
This is because :
Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha. WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor. Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware. Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature. Onboard graphics tend not to.
It appears you have enabled limited per pixel mode, so WindowBlinds will support per pixel, but with no hardware support.

if I understand,
You are trying to update a skin you downloaded at an earlier date, that has been modified in some way, but each time you download the skin it still appears as the same skin you started with?
if this is the case, and I read correctly,
Try deleting the original skin (or placing it in a renamed folder, if you're not sure the newer skin will work as well) prior to downloading the newer edition. then apply the newer eddition. This should solve your problem if that was what you were trying to say.
if it is not what you meant, I apologize for wasting time.
(some skins must be removed to get the newer skin to apply properly)

Your version of WindowBlinds is old and should be upgraded. Also in your System Info:
Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.This is because :Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha. WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor. Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware.
