I'm not only interested in the answer, I'm also interested in the question...

it might help if you can clarify what skin you're talking about in particular - WindowBlinds or Sysmetrix or A-N-Other-App etc

Did you save it as a different name?

If so, go to "tools" -> "create compound skin" then click "add" and browse to your new version. However, you should know this will duplicate all the images in your skin appending the new prefix to them.

Tiggz... I assume he is talking about WindowBlinds, since I'm not aware of "subskins" in other apps.

I found it DWM... it's Tools -> WindowBlinds -> Manage compound skin ......... I always miss the obvious. Thanx!
