Help with WB5 and Skinstudio
Importing Shellstyle
Saturday, November 26, 2005 by sophiesboy | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Newbie here so take pity.
In Kol's details about his most recent VistaXP style he says:
"To install the horizaontal shellstyle go to SkinStudio. Then on the file menu go to
Tools > WindowBlinds > Import shell style file"
Which sounds simple enough. However, when I go to Skinstudio and follow his instructions, I get a "Open" command box which asks me for a file name -
First, is it asking me for the name of the shellstyle files, or for a name to save them to?
Second, the default file type in the "Open" box is set to "Shell styles (*.dll)" and opens in the SkinStudio folder, not in the folder for the VistaXP theme. Is this correct for the operation I am attempting?
Third, assuming that I have to save a file myself, where do I save it and should I be giving it a particular name?
Fourth, assuming it is asking me the name of the files to import, what are those names? If I go into the VistaXP folder in WindowBlinds, I see no *.dll files at all, and if I switch tp "show all files" there are literally hundreds of them.
Clearly, I am missing something here, so if anyone can assist, I would appreciate it.
