I have never found a WB skin without a .uis, there must be something else wrong here. Unzip the .wba file and see if you find a .uis file in there somewhere. Let us know what you find...

The uis filename must be the same as the directory that the theme is installed to or it will be 'invisible'...ie, if the uis is named 'myskin.uis', then the directory it is in must be '\\windowblinds\myskin'...

the skins that gave me these problems are the Lunabeta2 and one of the xp jeans. well these are almost the first ones that i downloaded because im new to this. the first skin i downloaded worked perfect. the Lunabeta2 folder has Luna beta2.dxtheme, Personal.wmz. when i unzip them the only files i find that are different than the Bitmap images are theme.ini (configuration settings), and pindata.bin and thats about it.

If the extension is dxtheme it is a DesktopX theme not a WB skin. You need to download DesktopX (by clicking on the word 'DesktopX' contained in the title for the themes). The .wmz file is I thinka Windows media player skin. Windowblinds skins are .wba files.
