I got some questions

Tuesday, January 18, 2005 by 1nf4m0u5 | Discussion: New Users

Hello Im new here and I was wondering...
How do you apply the skins?
When you use a skin does it mess up your computer at all? (slow it down ect...)

Often programs or items you download from the Internet will automatically go to your "My Downloads" folder. Check there first. If it's not there then I don't actually knwo where it went. When you go to download it you should have the option of saying where you want to save it. If you can't find it, it's ok to download it again and this time make sure you save it in a place you will remember. Let us know how it's going!

I believe that is a screenshot not a windowblind. What operating system (Windows) are you using?

When you get that picture on your screen, right-click on it and you will get a window opening that you will click on "save picture as". Then you will get another window where you can save the picture as a "jpg" in a folder or any other place on your computer where you want to save this file. Hope this works for you.

1nf4m0u5: yes, you will need WindowBlinds to install skins. There are other programs for installing others things too - like IconPackager to install icons. You can download WindowBlinds here. WindowBlinds Link. WindowBlinds is a shareware program, meaning it's free to try and $20.00 to buy. You will have 30 days. If you decide you like it, or you know you definitely want to get in to skinning more heavily, you can buy Stardock Central which is a subscription program wherein you can get a bunch of programs for $50.00 for the first year and $34.95 every year after that. It will include all of the updates and any new programs for Stardock Central. If you decide to stop subscribing you get to keep the programs you already have forever. You can get that here. StardockCentral

Hope this helps!
