2 WB Themes, same name, and....
Saturday, September 18, 2004 by Dovelady8 | Discussion: Stardock Software
I have the 'Halloween' theme by Bones. I also have another theme with the exact same name by DotK - an older WB theme.
Here's my problem. I want to use both, but since they have the same name, I can't, obviously.
I've tried renaming DotK's to Halloween2. Name changed all right, contents are still fine, yet it won't work.
In WB Config, I tried: 'install skin from disk'. When installing from disk, I needed either a WBA or ZIP extension, and since the old theme was already extracted, I needed to zip it, which I did. Tried to install it. Nope, still doesn't show up in WB Config, yet it's in my WB listing in my file manager.
Is there any way I can use both Halloween themes, without resorting to moving one totally out of WB just to use the other one?

Koasati: I had downloaded, in May, Skin Studio Free. Since your instructions indicated I use SS, I decided to extract it and follow your advice. I hadn't yet opened up SSFree, you see.
When I went to then open the app, I get a popup stating that SSFree had expired (?) and gave me a URL to Skin Studio.net.
Haven't downloaded a newer version - I'm hesitant because I may go thru all this downloading/installing only to find that I'd get, yet again, another screen saying the version I downloaded had expired.
I did move Bones's 'Halloween' totally out of my WB folder and I'm using the original 'Halloween' by Dot K right now. I was just hoping not to have to do that.....
Thank you again for your help, Koasati. You've helped me before and I appreciate the time & effort you took to help me out this time.

Hi
Write me an email [email protected] and I will send you the file you need.
I am currently updating the skin, hopefully have it done in a week or two.
Thanks Koasati

Open the skin you want to rename in SkinStudio, go to File > Save As... (rename it) > OK.
The paths in the UIS have to be changed when you rename the folder, and this is the simplest way to do it.
