bootskins aren't importing

Tuesday, September 14, 2004 by Snoman012 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

i downloaded bootskins and only one will be recognized by the bootskin program. they all show up as zipped files but when i click on them there is nothing inside them except for more folders. and when u try and open them with the bootskin program it only shows that one that works, nothing else. if i try and unzip the folder into the folder i am using and click nothing shows up inside the folder. any suggestions?

Change the file name from filename.zip to filename.bootskin. The icon will also change change to a bootskin icon and then bootskin will let you import it.


and by the way, there is a Wizop (administrator) here that goes by the name snowman. You might think of changing your name in respect to him.

When you download a bootskin, the file format will be either .zip or .bootskin. example anyskin1.zip you change to anyskin1.bootskin. The icon will change to a bootskin icon. Then click on that icon and the bootskin will self install into the bootskin directory and then you can select it in the bootskin program.
