This command line app causes a specified skin to be loaded and applied as the main system skin without the need to open the WindowBlinds configuration window. Usage is quite simple. Simply specify the skin by the path to the FOLDER or UIS file name (not the actual skin name which may be different) open up the Run command from your Windows Start Menu, eg. if you copy the wbcommand.exe to you default WB directory then type: "c:\program files\object desktop\windowblinds\wbcommand.exe" skinfoldername or "c:\program files\windowblinds\wbcommand.exe" skinfoldername eg. if copy the wbcommand.exe to somewhere in your pathe (ex. c:\windows) then all you need is: wbcommand skinfoldername You can also make shortcuts to your favorite skins, or place them on your Start Menu (or NextStart or LiteStep popups). To do this, make a shortcut to WBCommand, and add the skinfoldername to the end of the path as shown above. New in this version is the ability to associate with UIS files, so you can just double-click to apply a skin. This feature is great for when you get a new skin and don't want to search through your config window looking for it, or when you simply want to change a skin quickly without having shortcuts set up for it. To do this, simply doubleclick on a UIS file, and choose WBCommand from the dialog that pops up (you will have to use the "Browse..." button. If you already have BuilderBlinds installed its a bit more complicated. Go into Folder Options (Tools menu in explorer), Find UIS in the list on the filetypes tab, click Edit, and click "New...". On the dialog you get, type Apply in the top box, and hit browse and locate the file for the second one. Hit OK on this dialog, and if you want Apply to be the default action when you doubleclick, choose it in the listbox and press "Set Default". Click OK on remaining dialogs and you should be all set.
