If you want to use a skin, theme, or etc., found on this site, look up at the top of the library, and you'll find a link to the program needed.

The more specific your questions, the more detailed the answers.

Like what do I need to upload the skin onto my comp.

Right now, im thinking of using StealthOS by Mike on Page 5 of Windows Blinds.

Now, If I download it, where should I save it to.

Then after it d.l's, what do I do? =.='' thanks

In order to use the StealthOS, you'll need at the very least to download the trial version of WindowBlinds. Install it. Then download StealthOS. When the gallery refers to WB5, you need to be a customer of Object Desktop, or purchase Windowblinds and wait for version 5 to be released in order to see the transparent taskbar and other per-pixel goodies.

You can get Windowblinds here: https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/

After you have it, download the skin you want. If the skin is in .zip form, download it to your favorite download folder and unzip to the same download folder. Then double-click on the .wba file.

If it is a .wba file, simply download and run, Windowblinds will take it from there.

It's a wba file.

When I click download, it says downloading to Temp folder. It doesnt even give me the option to save it anywhere else.

I have windowsblinds already. What should I do now?

Right click the download link, and select "Save target as.." from the menu. Save the file to your desktop so you'll know where it is.

Open Explorer. Navigate to "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp". Note that the underlined username above should be your username instead of "USERNAME". Search for the "StealthOS.wba" and double-click it. Windowblinds should do the rest. I will monitor this thread and try to help you out.

There's a possibility that you will have it on your machine as 'StealthOS.zip'....as XP SP2 likes to mess with suffixes a little...if so, rename the suffix from .zip to .wba ....and double click on the file and it will be installed for you....
