Send WebGizmos the skin folder and he can create the executable for you... [email protected]

Or try this...

1. Make a copy of your folder.

2. Rename the folder  xxxx(whatever the skin's name).xtreme .

Denis, here is a link to a zip I made for you. It has instructions on how to create the .xtreme file, and a small app to help you. It's what I use.

BTW, I can't see your first reply, I only see a small black X.

If you made it  just for yourself you could also just move the folder to the Winstep themes folder and it will work or send it to me and I'll create the .xtreme file for you OR you could ask Jorge how to create one since he is the developer of Winstep at [email protected]

Actually, if you zip your theme, and you're running the latest version of Winstep, you should be able to right click the zip and choose Convert to Xtreme, but that doesn't work, apparently. My links will give you working info though. I use it on mine.

Actually, I figured it out, you have your theme in a folder. You must go inside that folder, highlight all files, then right click and make a zip. This way, all files are in the zip WITHOUT a subdirectory involved. THEN you can right click this zip and choose Convert to Xtreme and it will work. I have just done it twice.

ask Jorge how to create one since he is the developer of Winstep
EXACTLY!!! Jorge needs to realize the importance of the theme creator if Winstep is to have any lifespan.

I do understand the load that he's under, but this one is absolutely essential and long overdue.
