O.K.
As carolelee said, download and install the Windows Blinds which version ever you want (trial or full). For full version you have to pay, trial version is free but with limited functions. Trial version can be upgraded later.
Download any skin you like. Download will open automatically yout temporary file and you don't have to extract anything.
Go to Control Panel/Display/Appearance and there you will find your downloaded skin.Click on it and install.
Hope this will help you.

No, no BBB 
Once windowblinds is installed, right click on the download text next to a skin here. Choose save target as, and then your desktop from the down menu. Once the file is downloaded it should be a file with .wba in the end of it. Double click on it. Give it a few seconds to install(maybe 15), then go where BBB described, highlight the skin name and click apply.

I edited that message twice trying to put in two words and it won't do it. Maybe I can do it here(crosses fingers and laughs). "...and then your desktop from the down menu"

All i do is left click the word "Download" and Windowblinds does the rest
I find no need to Right-Click and "Save As"
Then I go to WBConfig or Display Properties and set the skin

ChasUGC,
Sir Stumpy is right and it works as I described. This is the best way. For what reason do you want to "save as"?? Another trick: After you left click on download and the skin has been installed in the temporary file a popup window in the systray (near the clock) will appear saying: Skin such ans such has been installed....)If you left click on that window you can install the skin directly without going to the control panel/display/appearance or WB configuration!If you want to change skins than you go to WB or display/appearance!
Who is right now??

If you go into File Type in Windows you can change .wba's to ask "save as" allowing you to store the zipped .wba file somewhere else on your HDD

Okay, back to subject. The reason I right click is to have a copy of the skin for archiving in case of a crash. Most people do it. It's wise. Ever heard the term "Back-Up" and the importance and reason for it?
