Today I've tried to edit some windowblinds skins by extracting them and edit the textures. I've made a few changes I wanted to and repacked the files as a ".wba". Then I opened it with windowblinds but it appeared as the same as before 
Can someone help? I don't know what I did wrong 
You will need Skinstudio
Link login and you will find it under My downloads
You can change a lot without going into Skinstudio at all. First you have to go into the skin itself. On win7: My Computer, C drive, Users, Public, Public Documents, Stardock, Windowblinds. Open the skin you want to fiddle with. There will be all the parts to the skin there. You'll need a graphics program that opens TGA files and Bitmap files. What I do is make a folder in My Documents and name it for the skin I am playing with. I copy the part of the skin that I am changing into that folder so I always have the original in case things go bad. Whatever I change I put into the original folder for the skin. When you want to see how the change looks you have to re apply the skin.
I use Skinstudio sometimes too. Bottom line is that you have to play with this a lot and don't be afraid to make mistakes. As I said it's good to make copies of the original files.
Tried, but doesn't work No matter what I change, everything stays the same.
I can't see anything like SkinStudio at the link you posted. Not even in MyDownloads.
https://www.stardock.com/products/skinstudio/ as far as i know there is a pro and a free version i might be wrong tho
or you try the way Chasbo posted
After installation it says: "Please check that the SkiStudio7 folder is in your skins folder. If you moved your WindowBlinds skins folder then you will need to relocate this folder too."
O__o
What? I've never had any folder called "skins" in windowblinds anywhere. What can I do to get it working?
the skinstudio7 folder is located within the windowblinds folder. When you make something and save that into a .wba package this is where that file is saved to.
just a suggestion; open the windowblind that you want to change and save it by some other name.
you don't need to create a .wba package to view your changes, just click on the save button and then apply button from within skinstudio.
Save? There's no save option in windowblinds for me. Where can I find it?
Are you using the trial version of WindowBlinds or the paid version. Where did you download WindowBlinds from?
You may want to start a trouble ticket by sending an email to [email protected] on your issues with skinstudio7.
I'm using the trial version. I can't afford the complete version. And I downloaded the program from it's own site.
Please post your auto-generated support ticket number here. Do not resend an email until you get a response from tech support or you ticket position in the queue will restart. Thanks.
Finally it reacts to the changes I make in the texture files. But no the best... The colors change as I want them to, but a lot of the textures became invisible. What program do you use to edit the tga files correctly? (I used Pain.net)
