Is there a trick to these? For some reason I cannot apply them! >

I've purchased the suites from Pixtudio. I can download them but now what?

IIRC aren't they each all zipped up into a big zip file? You'll need the appropriate skinnable apps to use them (WindowBlinds, Winamp, NextStart, DesktopX, HoverDesk and so on, depending on what apps you want to use on your desktop)

Yes, they are in one file and I have the appropriate apps. I have unzipped it but it comes in a .sd file and I'm not sure what to do now.

I don't know what a .sd file is. There's probably a readme file in the zip file telling which skin goes to which app.
For instance, there's probably a .wba file in there which is a WindowBlinds skin. In which case, you'd need the WindowsBlinds program installed on your computer to use it.

I had this same problem when I purchased the UniverseMetal suite. Pixtudio refunded my money since there is no solution at the moment. I'm still hoping they get this gets resolved because those are two awesome skins.
On another note, for you WinCustomize subscribers... supposedly, you get access to some "subscriber suites" when you purchase a subscription to WinCustomize. Is there a screen shot or someplace where "potential" subscribers can view these? It might make sway some people that are sitting on the fence.

Well, I don't know what happened but I was able to apply these today! YMark: Click on "Subscriber Resources".

Gregory / YMark,
If you have the .sdtheme you can unzip it and then repackage it under the appropriate file names. It can be a bit of a pain but they are all in there. If you have any questions on how to do that just let me know.

kith, I tried that and it still doesn't work. Unzipping the .sdtheme file does not give you all the skins for the different applications.

Gregory2001.... clicking on "Subscriber Resources" just tells me about levels and the benefits of subscribing. I'd like to be able to at least see a screen shot of the "suites" that are available to subscribers. Like I said above, it just might make a fence sitter jump.

No, the skins aren't in there, but the bitmaps and ini's for skins should be. If you know which ones belong to which programs it is pretty easy to zip them up into individual skin packs. When I bought Logika/UM they were just zipped up, so I have never seen the .sdtheme you have. But I have gone through a few others and breaking them down should be possible.
