Where are Window Blinds files stored after they are installed?

August 23, 2016 12:21:02 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

If I want to move my installed .wba files to a different computer, where are they located?  I no longer have many of the .wba files in my download folder.

C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds\

(That's where the extracted skins are, the wba's are nowhere if you haven't kept them.)

Thanks!  They were doiwn another level on Windows 10 but I found them.  I will try to copy the folders to a different PC and see if Wb sees them without having to to actually install the .wba files.

You will need to do a Rebuild List in WB after copying the folders over gevansmd, or a reboot, for them to show up.

Not sure if I understand your question.

You can't place a .zip in there as far as I know. However if you make a regular folder and name it you can unzip your folder and place everything in the regular folder you made. Now place that in the correct location and now do what Lightstar said in reply #3

I think he means is the .wba format actually a zip file.  Just tried rename one to .zip and it will not extract.

The .wba file is a zip file. You should be able to extract it. Works for me.

Just to make sure I was able to extract OuterEdge wba using 7-zip. No need to rename file to .zip
