How do I re-download?

Sunday, September 7, 2003 by Lady Aarielle | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Would someone please help!! I bought Window Blinds and I have no problem downloading 'new' windowblind skins, however, it will not let me
re-download skins that I deleted in order to download the "updated" versions. Am I doing something wrong?? Thank you!

First delete the existing skin. Use the WB configuration dialog to delete it. Download the skin and install as usual.

Thank you, Madlce.
I went to the WB configuation dialog, but it's no longer there. I had already deleted it from the 'delete' button in 'display properties'.(I won't do that again). Is there anything else I can do to be able to re-download it?? As you can tell I'm a real newbie!!
Thanks Again!!

Try opening Explorer and going to the folder where the Windowblinds are kept and deleting the skin from there. Deleting from Display properties doesn't always seem to actually delete the skin.

I don't know if this is relevant, but if the skin list in the Appearances tab's dropdown list is inaccurate as to what skins are really installed on your computer, you can go to you windowblinds directory and delete any files with the extention .CAT

the .CAT file is used to hold the list of installed skins whicfh the appearances tab uses to display in the drop down list.

Now, when you go back to the Appearances tab it will automatically regenerate the .CAT file with hopefully a correct skin list in the dropdown list.
