Installing

Thursday, August 1, 2002 by Corrie | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

OK, I'm a bit ignorant regarding this program I just purchased. Whenever I download a Theme it goes into a TEMP foler. I found that in my Object Desktop folder.
How in the heck do I apply that theme. There are a billion .bmp's. Doin' ok with window skins, ut this is making me feel real stupid.
Thanks for any help. Geez, can't even put in an emoticon. Time for bed I think
Best Regards,
Corrie

Which kind of skin did you download? Object Desktop is composed of several different programs: WindowBlinds, ObjectBar, DesktopX...

WindowBlinds skins end in a .WBA extension
ObjectBar skins end in a .OBTheme extension
DesktopX themes end in a .DXTheme extension

All these file types are really ZIP files with the above extensions. Somtimes the files are uploaded this website as .ZIP files. If so, figure out which type it is (WindowBlinds,ObjectBar,DesktopX), rename the file's extenstion to be the proper one. Then double-click the file.
