Ephekz,

Change the file extension from ".zip" to ".wba" if it is a WindowBlinds skin you are downloading.

Then assuming you have WindowBlinds installed on your computer, double-click the file (now a ".wba"), and it should automatically install.

To prevent ending up with a ".zip" file that is actually a compressed file of another type (.wba, .iptheme, etc.), you should be able to right-click the download link > select "Save target as.." > select "All Files" in the "Save as Type" drop-down list, of the Save As dialog box.

This should keep the original file extension intact after download, and should work with all browsers.

I hope this helps.

I use FF - my top option is open with WindowBlinds.
