Tell us the name of the skin, so that we may look at it. Maybe it was packaged strangely. Sometimes, if permission is required, the skin is zipped separately from the actual skin file. Therefore, the root folder doesn't contain the images and configuration files, and it may not load properly.

WindowBlinds can only skin the taskbar and start menu on XP. You need Object Bar in this case, like Win98.
Something is wrong with your system most likely. Missing or hacked system files, maybe.
"offense"?
i figured out everything but the colour chaning for both skins? Open Windowblinds advanced configuration menu. On the right side you will see "change skin colour" Then, put a check in the box to enable custom color support and force it if necessary. Have fun. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmiddl
You might also try removing any "trans" attribute in the section.
You might try tools>correct skin errors. It might fix any incorrect attributes.

Strange. I don't have any problems with Stardock programs crashing. But of course I never install betas either.
If you take your G-pod suite link above and change the Library to "Please Select", all the G-Pod skins will appear. You can then download them individually. The same applies for Copperdeck( I left off the "II" because there may still be more than one version in different skins, not sure)
Reboot and install Winstyles. It is less buggy. Sorry, it looks like I was right. But, Winstyles is no longer available, so you don't have that option anymore. You can try downloading the pieces individually and applying them.
System specs?
one has to wonder what's so different about your setup that nothing works for you. Hacked system files maybe? Or maybe he has a different build of the operating system being from France? [Message Edited]
The released version is stable for me. so in fact, all the OB+ versions are betas versions (as all the Stardock softs ...) Not true.
It seems that Fuzzy Logic is correct. Winstyles v1.4 is no longer available, as it was about one week ago when I last checked. So, I guess if you have problems with Theme Manager, you are stuck. Sorry.
It seems that you now have two different recommendations. You can try either one you like. I know that mine works, and Essencay says his works. Maybe Theme Manager has now improved, but I encountered the same problems that you have in the past versions. Maybe there is a more recent version of Theme Manager that has fixed the bugs. I know that I don't have those sorts of problems with Winstyles v1.4.
Winstyles and Theme Manager are two different programs. Which one do you have? Was wondering if anyone knows where i can get all of it? Install Winstyles, and download the theme, it will automatically download the needed pieces of the suite. <TD
First, I suggest that you uninstall Theme Manager. Reboot and install Winstyles. It is less buggy. You can find a link for Winstyles at the top of the suites library. Then, you need to install the various programs for the different pieces of the themes. Logon requires LogonStudio. Icons require iconpackager, windowblinds require the program Windowblinds, Rainlendar requires rainlendar, Bootskin requires the Bootskin program, etc.. A link to the required program is listed at the top of t
Depending on your Bios and/or the version of your operating system(O.E.M. manufacturer), some programs may not be fully compatible. Lots of people have no problems with the Bootskin program. Some people do for the reasons stated above. Maybe you are one of those people whose computer configuration conflicts with the proper operation of the Bootskin program. [Message Edited]
Most programs start as a beta and then have the Official release that is later improved with more betas and then another offical release. Such is the case with Internet Explorer. I.E. 6 started out as a beta. So did, I.E. 5. As I.E. 5 improved, it added extra functionality as I.E. 6 beta which was fully released in the offical I.E.6 version. As new technology is incorporated, you will see I.E. 7 beta, and then a full release. It is the same with most programs, and Object Dock Plus or the standar
I think you have the wrong approach or understanding of the copyright laws. If Gef created a theme, then permission is needed from Gef to port it. If you get permission from Gef, and then need assistance to port it, then you can ask here for assistance. Otherwise, it is a copyright violation and won't be allowed here.
A .wba file is just a special zip file that can be read be Windowblinds to apply a skin for the GUI. It is nothing special. If you are concerned about viruses or spyware, look at the certification at the lower right of the main wincustomize site. Not only is windowblinds spyware free, but it is also certified by Microsoft as a legal program. Microsoft doesn't support programs that are copyright violations. You can also change the wba to zip and scan within it via most Virus scanning pro
How can i make it work Try uninstalling it. Reboot and reinstall. One other sure fire way to get it to work fully is to buy the program. It works great for me.
