1st Time Skinner - 1st Skin Has All The Images and Code - 1st Skin Not Working - HELP!!!
Wednesday, April 17, 2002 by SoundtrackGeek | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
As the subject line says, I am a first-time skinner, and I hope to develop new skins in the future. The only problem is that my first skin does not work! My OS is Windows XP Professional and I am using Windowblinds 3.3; I have all the images ready for the skin, and I created the skin with SkinStudio, so I am assuming all the code needed for my skin is finished (though I could be wrong). Here's what's happening: when I use the Display Properties to try to load my skin and select it, the window simply closes; if I try to preview the skin from the "Windowblinds Advanced Configuration" window, those windows also close; and if I try to apply the skin from the "Windowblinds Advanced Configuration" window, my computer crashes big time. I've had to do a system restore a couple of times already. So, anyways, if there's something I'm doing wrong, I would REALLY appreciate some help! (One thing I noticed my skin didn't have that all the other ones did was that mine didn't contain "WBD" file; I don't know if that was it or not.) Thanks!

In SkinStudio go to Tools and tell it to "analyze the skin". This should list problems with the skin in a new tab. You can click on the errors and it will take you to the problem section.
Under File>WindowBlinds you can hit "Set this skin as current".
Under File>WindowBlinds you can hit "Set this skin as current".
