Hello everyone, well, since today I've had some free time I decided to customize Rainlendar a little so I downloaded some skins, but turned out that they came in .zip format, somewhere within the "help" log rainlendar has it said that if rainlendar wasn't abe to open it as a.zip file then all I have to do is rename it as a .r2skin document but whenever I do this everything I get is the name+r2skin+zip (e.g. "Glossy"to "Glossy.r2skin" turns out as "Glossy.r2skin.zip"

I decided to give it a try and edit it in notebook so I opened with it and saved with "Save as type" as: all files and the encoding to "UTF-8" and the name.r2skin, it saved correctly, and I clicked on it and said it installed correctly but after I refresh and even restart rainlendar I dont get to see them in the "skins"list. Also tried "reinstalling"the skin and it says I'd be overwriting a skin that's already there, I click yes and it says the skin intalled correctly but the problem persist.. any idea? any help? how can I make .zips become .r2skins?

In the folder view click Organize and click Folder Options.
Select the View tab.
Uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".
Now the extensions will appear and you can edit them.

well I found a solution just pushing and poking around! XD It's about clickin the .ini or .xml files opening with notepad saving "Save as type" as: "all files" and the encoding to "UTF-8" then the name and the extension, placed the folder with the documents (unzipped) in rainlendar's skins folder and installed the skin.

O.o easy as that O.o but was kinda hard to figure if you ask me

Question on this....Ceteru or Justin:

I followed the steps to unhide extensions, open in notepad, save as "all files", then chose the "UTF-8", then changed the .ini extension to .r2skin and I did all this WITHIN the uncompressed (zipped) folder. Extracted all files and the .r2skin files was still there. When I clicked on it, I received this error window:

"The skin doesn't contain the "skin.xml" file. Are you sure this is an xml format Rainlendar skin?"

Can either of you help me with this?
