Rainlender question
Saturday, November 1, 2003 by dabe | Discussion: Skinning
Yup, another question......
I have downloaded and am using Pinchecl's P98 Sysmetrix. This guy is a master, for sure!!! But, I can't figure out how to use the Rainlender skin that goes with it. I have downloaded it off another site, not realizing that it was included with the Sysmetrix, but every time I try to run it, I get a message that states, "File cannot be opened" and then indicates the path where the p98.bmp is located, which is in the Skin folder for Rainlender. I don't get it. I'm baffled. Advice please.....
TIA

That's the problem. I know that Sysmetrix and Rainlender are different programs. I made sure that the Rainlender skin is in the Rainlender skin folder. It just won't work. It won't open the skin. I don't get it, so I'm giving up for a while. I'm brain dead, and it's time for bed.....

Once you've unzipped Sysmetrix, there is another zip inside called Rainy.zip. You need to unzip that to C:/Program Files/Rainlendar/Skins. Exit then restart Rainlendar and you should be able to select that skin.

Thanks. I did a file search on "rainy.zip", and I was surprised at how many rainy zip files I have.

If you downloaded and installed Rainlendar and you have also downloaded any skins for Rainlendar, make sure the skin you've downloaded is in the Rainlendar\Skin folder.
Exit/Quit the Rainlendar and then Open it again.
Right click on it, go to Skins and select the skin you want to use.
