Problem when downloading skins?

Wednesday, January 28, 2004 by Baby Skyline | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

There is no problem when I press de "Download" button for a bootskin, but when I open it (the winzip file..) I get 2 bmp's and a Ini file for instance and winzip makes several folders like this....

"Program Files\Stardock\WinCustomize\BootSkin\Skins\Accosse Blue Boot"

But there is no "BMP.Bootskin" how come, and what can I do about this problem? Also Bootskin (the program) cannot locate the file..

Isn't this weird hope you guys can help me.......

First of all here is the program

>>> https://www.stardock.com/products/bootskin/

Second, a bootskin file is a .zip file renamed to .bootskin once the program is installed the all you need do is double-click the downloaded skin file and it will open the program and apply the skin.

The files you see are the following - Name.bmp is the main picture - NameProgress is the progress bar - Name.ini is the control file that the program uses, although not all skins use the progress bar, so you may only see 2 files instead

I hope this helps you

BTW, the program does not actually use the compiled file, it will unpack the skin file and create the folders you mentioned, this is why the skins are easy to make
