If you have Windowblinds https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/ then
1. Just click the download link provided in this page.
2. Once downloaded, double click the file and it will automatically install itself.
3. A notification in the system tray tells you a new skin is installed.
4. Click the icon and the skin will apply itself.
If you don't have Windowblinds yet, you have to download and install it first in your system to get these amazing skins working.

Impressive skin! But the menu bar is too wide in Firefox (default theme). Hope it could be fixed.

This is an excellent skin. In fact, it's the first skin I've found that made me want to switch from KoL's vista skin (which I managed to snag before they took it down 
), and after couple of weeks with it I'm not switching back.
I only have four small nitpicks
- I find the contrast between text and bg on tooltips a bit weak, if the text were a few shades darker it would be perfect.
- I think the start button would work better if it were just the E (obviously a bit bigger), preferably in a spherical button.
- The text for non-focused windows is too close in brightness to the focused windows. You can see it if you look for it but during casual use it's sometimes hard to tell what's in focus and what's not.
- Finally the E in the explorer window (the one right under the close button) is a bit small I think, sitting there all alone in the big grey box
Thank you for this skin

@derrick56: Regarding the second question about the start menu. The start menu on the screenshot uses different icons for items, these are setup separately from a windows skin. You could ask the author what icons he/she's using and then put them up yourself either manually or using IconPackager.

I love the skin, and the wallpaper...but I don't like that I am literally FORCED to use the wallpaper you've supplied with the skin. Every time I start my computer up, your wallpaper's back. I enjoyed the skin to a much higher degree when I was free to use the wallpaper of my choice. Perhaps you could still supply the background, but bring back the ability to use other wallpapers that you had in previous installments?

Go into your Windowblinds Basic Settings, and uncheck the box that says "Use any wallpaper supplied" and it should be fine.

Last and final thing, can rjsmith2007 (or anyone who knows) tell me what value to tweak in Skinstudio so that my taskbar menu font is somewhat readable with the transparency? I might have to constantly alter the text colour depending on the background. It's barely visible on dark backgrounds, and totally invisble on light ones. See pic below

@Derek
In the screenshot I am using the Mad-B Shiny Black icon pack for Icon Packager.
The icons are gone because the content margins are (for some odd reason) too small for them to appear. I would unload windowblinds, restart the computer, and finally apply Eminence.
That should fix the problem, if not let me know by email. r_j_smith20007_at_gmail.com. (take out the underscores, and at=@)
@shott3r
I am not sure right off hand what changes that font color. Maybe some of the more experienced could help *cough *cough?

Amazing, thanks for this beautiful skin. I'm sorta new to this, can I make my windows transparent or just the toolbars? Thanks again, this looks great.

Nice skin as far as the graphics go.....but it it the skin, my eyes or my resolution that makes that Corbel font really suck on my machine? I'm bringing up My Computer and the font looks absolutely horrible. Title bars are OK, but menu text looks like chicken scratch.... 
Disregard. Seems that when I installed the skin, somehow it jacked up my Cleartype setting.....looks better now with CT on (duh on me). However, I notice on the desktop icon titles there's a tad of bleed when using 1280x1024...just FYI. Otherwise the skin is one of the best I've seen in awhile.
