Re: Rainlendar download
Sunday, June 12, 2005 by The Butler | Discussion: New Users
Greetings,
I have downloaded a Rainlendar I would like to use but don't know where to install it. Can anybody help me?
I am using Windowblinds but don't know if I need anything else.
Thank you for your time.

After you unzip the rainlendar zip file, the unzipped folder should contain an .ini file (along with all the necessary images, i.e., window backgrounds, etc... that are usually in .png format). Copy the unzipped folder that has the .ini file to the "C:\Program Files\Rainlendar\Skins" directory (or wherever you installed rainlendar). Once the .ini file is in that directory, it should be available to rainlendar and should be a selectable skin. I hope this helps.

The first thing you need to do is download and install the Rainlender program Link.
Then you will have a place to move your skin to. Just having WindowBklinds installed is not enough. I didn't see it mention here that you had done that, so I thought I would mention it.

Good point WebGizmos... rainlendar is a standalone calendar application that is not a part of windowblinds. Once you install the rainlendar program, you should be able to install rainlendar skins as noted above.

Do you have the program working? Was the default skin applied on start up?

After you install the skin into the Rainlendar directory, try closing Rainlendar then re-opening it...the skin should up in the skins list. Which skin are you having trouble with?

A default skin was applied but don't know what it is called. In the c:\programfiles\railendar\skins appear the following folders -
Shadow 3.1 and Tranquil.
Just to clear things up I am meant to put the zipped folder into the skins folder correct?
(The skin by the way is Kendo scrolls)
Then once I have done this how do I actually install it?

Yes, but unzip the file first. Inside that will be the skin file. Remove that folder and put that in the rainlender skins folder. if the skin file is in a sub folder of the zipped file then move that. You should see some of th images on the folder icon itself.
After that, close rainlender and then restart. After restarting, right click on the rainlender skin you see and you should see your new skin listed.

Maybe a visual of what NT, Alphabyte, Ama, and Webgizmos are saying will help.
Download and open the file to this stage only
Then open My computer > Local disk C > Program files > Rainlendar. It will look like
Open the "skins" folder. Drag and drop the new folder onto the Rainlendar "skins" page
Close Rainlendar. Open it again. Right click, select your skin.
