Newbie here! How does this work exactly?
Sunday, October 6, 2002 by BOOGIEMAN1ManClan | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I just found your site and I was wondering how do I use this XPCorona.wba thing that I just downloaded. The customizations I've seen in the pics look amazing. You guys really did a good job. However, I have no clue what I need to do to take advantage your beautiful artwork.
So how does a newb like me set something like that up on my desktop?
P.S.
I'm don't mean to make my own custom theme, I mean to try out the ones from the site.
P.S.
My O.S. is Win2K Advanced Server.

I have a problem with having my WindowCustomize, ObjectDesktop, CursorXP, etc... I am new here and prior to that, I have downloaded the free software. Now, I'm all confused of which ones are the trial and which is the new one. I see it all over the place; in the start menu, in My Documents, in Programs Menu, etc....
It seems like I had downloaded and installed it more than once. Is that Possible??

Typically, if you install a Stardock product more than once, it installs over the previous version. If you're really confused though, you should just uninstall everything and then install the latest versions. Then you'll know for sure what you have.

I another newb with a similar problem. I wanted to download windowblinds but when I downloaded it from Stardoc it also installed object desktop and a bunch of other things. Then when I click on the windowblinds icon I get a pop-up telling me to go to display properties to change my desktop. All I want to do is install one of the cool skins that are available but I can't seem to figure it out. When I DL a skin I like it usualy come as a ZIP file. Where do I unizp it to? Is there an executable file in the zip that will install the skin?? I'm using XP Home edition if it helps. I've checked out sever "tutorials" but they seem to be aimed at creating skins which is something I'm not really looking to do right now. Like I said all I want to do is add a cool skin t my puter. Any help greatly apprecieated!! Is there an online help file or instruction manual for windowblinds??

Go to display properties - appearance and check if the skins are already installed, if not, click the "add" button and point to the directory where the skins are. You don't have to unzip the skins, just select the skin and click "open".
