Where'd all my old skins go?

January 21, 2008 8:56:02 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums
I tried moving my backup folder of all my old WindowBlinds skins into the new All Users/Documents/Stardock/Windowblinds folder but none of them show up in the WB console for selection. How do I get these to display so that I can choose and apply them?

Open WB config, Skin Options, Rebuild List.

LOL, I just came back in to reply that I discovered the 'rebuild list' option. Thanks for the fast reply. Rich

Well, now I'm using the latest version of WB and that option no longer works. The only blinds that show up are the ones that were installed with WB6. I moved all of my old backed up blinds to the directory and hit the rebuild list option but no joy.

They're in the correct directory, because if I rename it, WB loses all of the skins except for a couple, and the console goes black. Renaming the directory back to the correct name restores the skins that came with WB6.

Hi Rmart,

Please open this folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds, if your backup folder is in there move it again.

Now open the backup folder of your WB themes and you should see all your themes displayed as folders.  Now Select all (Ctrl-A) and Copy (Ctrl-C) and then re-open your WB themes folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds and Paste (Ctrl-V)

Now open Window Blinds and rebuild list.  Give it time to work especially if you have a number of themes.  You should now see all your themes in Window Blinds.

Thanks for the reply. A reboot fixed the problem.
