Installing windows skins?

http://www.4impressions.net/v2/html/ex_suites.html

I'm trying to install the "Nano" skin from there. I was using a program called Windowblinds to install my skins, but those skins aren't compatible with it. How in the hell do I install the skins?

I click on the Visual Styles folder, and then it leads to the "appearance" box for the display folder of Control Panel. After that, I dunno what to do.

?

Re: Another question

Its a stand alone windows style. You have to extract the .zip file. Then you get more zip files. Go into the visual style one, extract it to a folder, and then double click on the .msstyles file. There is also a Readme in that folder. READ IT!

font smoothing on your system is ENABLED, otherwise the caption font will be displayed incorrect.
(If you have an alternative all caps font which looks identical to Arial, send it to me!)



Shellstyles: You have 8 Shellstyles to choose from. That means 8 ZIP files. Remember that you can use
only one shellstyle at the time. To change the shellstyle open up the "Folder Options" and
disable the shellstyle support. Now jump into the folder where the Nano VS is situated. Delete
the folder called "shell" and unzip one of the ZIP files. Enable the shellstyle support and you' re
done. You can find a declaration of the names in the preview of the VS.

If you decide to redistribute this theme, you MUST include this readme, give all credits and notice me about it.
If you want to use this theme as a base for a new VS, please contact me
for permission to use any of the elements from this Visual Style.
However, any commercial use of this Visual Style or parts of the whole suite
is prohibited! Did I make myself clear? If I find it on ebay, I'll kick ass, I promise.
