Guys, the poster is a new member.  Cut some slack that WC can be confusing for a new user.  And unless someone has been active (or lurking) around here then may not know our (attempts at) humor.

I like to make folks feel comfortable before we scare them off.  (<-- and yet there *I* am trying to be funny. -sigh-)

ColonelZer . . I don't think there are any Vista-only skins in the gallery right now.  You should be able to find something you like by browsing about the gallery.

I have always liked GT3

ok well I got it saved but when I open the file I don't know what file to click to install it from...(I'm using WinRAR)

Okay, I've got to ask Colonel Zer, explain to us why you believe GT3 WB is for Vista?

Is it because of what is shown in the screenshot?

This is what shows up when I open the file...



And this is what shows up when I open the GT3wb5.wba file...

ColonelZ, do you have Windowblinds installed?
Unzip and double-click on the wba file

Sounds to me like you don't have WB installed.

Okay, from the beginning is always a good place to start. In order to use any of the skins in the library you need the the software progarm to run it. If you want to load a WB skin you need WB program to use it.

The link is to the WinCustomize Wiki home page. Click it and then find WindowBlinds and then click it again. After that roam around the site and learn just what Stardock programs can do.

If you are then interestd go to Stardock.com. There you will be able to click and find a trial version of WindowBlinds. Keep in mind that it is a trial version and will expire in 60days.
