Did you reboot after the install? By "application" you mean WindowBlinds Configuration Dialog?

Also, check the Skins tab of Display Properties & be sure the "Prevent WindowBlinds from loading at startup" item is NOT checked.

browse to the skins folder and double click one and see what happens

I went ahead and double clicked the UIS file, associated wbload and got a Windows message saying hopefully "A skin called " has been installed, you can apply this from the Appearance tab..."

However it still doesn't show up in the Display properties Skins or Appearance tabs, nor in the configuration app.

You should be double-clicking a file with an extension of .wba, not .uis. If you right-click the Download button for the skin in WinCustomize, select "Save Target As..." & save the skin in a folder somewhere, it should be a file with a .wba extension. Double-clicking that "installs" the skin by WB unzipping its contents into a folder in the "right" place.

which version of WB4?

Since nothing else has worked, couldn't lose anything by doing a complete uninstall, reboot & fresh re-install.

Common,of course I have XP.You now when off and start comp WB5 won't load and only classic skins work.You must come back to default windows skin then again start WB and chose skin again.Thats only way for me to work.Thanks for your answer.

Sorry server error.I must press submit two time.

1.full paid version
2.I have WB4 before WB5 and I do everything :uninstall.reboot,install then i read about clening traces,find a zipp and clean with that and mannualy erase everything from registry.Yes I do everything about install and uninstall.
3.standalone download
4.We don,talk about cracking on forums,are we?Thats no matter if you have serial.No i don't have cracked version.
5.I don't like to hacking my PC like that.I have some vista skins but i have problems before instaling them.
6.I have Object Dock but that is stardock app.
When I turn to WB 4 everything is ok.
I don't now what is problem.Something blocking WB5 when loading on start up.

Thank's for your time!

I find what is the problem but don't have solution for now!It's windows theme service.When I disable theme service and reboot comp WB5 load and start without problem.That is something in windows theme service that won't give WB to load ,but how to solve that?Maybe somebody who now better then me have solution.Until then my theme service stay turn off

Thank's to you Bitchur,you help me to keep trying!

I think that this is UK forum.
Thanks again.Now I can enjoy in colors.

Hmmph...ok. I checked my registry and found a few Stardock entries with bizarre characters in them under WBLiteFX - OverridexxxxUIS. I changed them to _Disabled, and now I can see the skins.

Happy.
