personalizing docks with skins, icons, eta.
Saturday, February 26, 2011 by wytelady | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Greetings,
Am definitely a newbie here, have seen the skins, wallpapers etc. I did download one but how do you install this? it's in a WBA form? Please enlighten me how to go about this, would appreciate it.
Furthermore, where can I can icons for the dock? I would like to get simple cool icons like the mac icons? i don't have a mac yet but surely would like to get the feel of having one at least with the dock settings. hihihihi
Thanx again!!!!
wytelady

The .wba is a WindowBlinds skin. You need an application called WindowBlinds to run it. go to https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/.
While you're there check out the other categories. There are ObjectDocks, Icons, wallpapers, etc etc. As far as a Mac goes you'd need to ask someone who knows whether or not these are compatible with a Mac. So to hasten things a bit ...
BUMP.

A good place to start is with - Skinning Your PC
The wba file you downloaded is a WindowBlinds and you will need that program to install that type of file. There is a 30 day trial download there.
You can find the other software programs required for each type of Stardock file type here - https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/
That link will also allow you to click on individual galleries for different downloads.
For Mac OSX type icons check here - https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/iconpackager/1005/
Hope that gets you started.
