How do I save skins?
Monday, April 12, 2004 by SSLight | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Ok I got the SkinStudio Free Version, and I made a skin... well modified one... and I dont know how to save it in a way that I can use it with WindowBlind... I tried the zip save thing... but it was doing some weird crap..

When you made the changes did you "save changes to skin" when you applied it?

You can't just rename a skin. You have to open it with skinstudio and save it as another name.

If you "renamed" it using "Save as..." in SkinStudio, the skin is saved....as the new name in the WB directory.

Heres what I did:
I opened the windows xp default blue skin, I changed it around and I saved it under a new name "Windows XP blue (modified)" and it doesnt work...

ohhh wait...you may not be able to save with the freeware...
May I reccommend ObjectDesktop found here https://www.stardock.com/products/odnt/ ...you will not be sorry
You get all of these https://www.stardock.com/products/odnt/features.asp IconPackager and WB alone is worth the price of ObjectDesktop....

I believe you can send a check through the mail. and tell your parents that there is a telephone # for stardock where the sales dept could answer their questions about the product. it's worth it, and if you are a student and in graphic design classes the program can be an asset to your studies.
always a refreshing extra credit project to make a windowblind.
