total newbie - wants to RTFM

Monday, March 25, 2002 by amiablejd | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Hi all...I purchased Windowblinds sometime back, but haven't really had a lot of time to play around with it. My recent termination gives me a LOT more time to play, but I'm kind of wondering what a good starting point might be.

Is there beginning documentation available in the install or here on the site?

Thanks,
Keith

What do you want to do? Just install and use skins, or make your own skins?

Just install and use...I've run into problems with backgrounds/wallpaper not appearing as the preview suggests they should and I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong (I'm using Windows 2000 Professional).

Thanks,
Keith

Take a look at your WindowBlinds settings. Go to your Display Properties, then:

On XP: go to the Appearance tab, click the WindowBlinds button, then look at the Settings section.

On 98/Me/2K: go to the Skins tab, click the WindowBlinds button, then look at the Settings section.

There are options to enable/disable backgrounds, wallpaper, etc. Also, keep in mind that wallpaper is not always included in the skin. In some cases you may have to download it separatley.

Great! Thanks for the pointers...I didn't realize that the wallpaper might not be included.
