Need help applying applications
Saturday, February 21, 2009 by DanielUnder | Discussion: Windows Vista
Hey guys... I am new to this site and am trying to figure out how to apply some of the stuff I downloaded from here... For instance the skins/themes... When I open up the downloaded file it tells me to choose a file to open it with, and I dont know how to open it to apply the downloaded skin?! For instance I downloaded the Chameleon_DX.desktop skin. When I click on it, it says windows cannot open this file?!! WHat program should I use to open it with and apply it?? I am using windows vista ultimate 64-bit. Thanks much in advance.

When you download a theme/skin you will see a description of the program needed to apply it at the top of the page. There are also links to downloading the application.
Here is a tutorial about applying skins: A "New Users" guide to Applying Skins
This is a pinned post at the top of the New users section of the forum.

That is your issue, your Stardock.net account does not list anything other than Dream files. You need the software installed first to use the theme/skin you downloaded.

You need Desktopx for the DX themes to work, do you have that installed?
