Applying New Skins

Ho does one do this?

from WinCustomize Forums
First of all a minor whine: I want my right click everywhere, not just on the desktop. Is it realistic that the app only works there?
Twisted humor, that.

Now as to the "meat" of the question: I was trying to get the Vienna Rapture Right Click skin (niiiice work there messiah1!) but it's unclear to me what exactly has to go into the "Skins" folder of Right Click.

Any experienced hands advice?

Please accept my thanks for all efforts at helping!

Does RC have a hotkey associated with it?  I know ObjectBar does and has the same (and more) functionality.

Not that I know of. It lives in the system tray (Stardock really needs to put all it's stuff in one programs folder, imo).

Now you're starting with your object bar. I did look up your article about it....essentially a tutorial. I just feel really inadequate with object bar, and agree it's probably underutilized by most. I wish Stardock would develop some of it's software more, and organize it. Having it "talk" to it's various parts would be cool also.

I have no idea what you mean by this.  Sometimes power tools require power users.  :)

Just checked.  On the cofig menu there are three tabs.  The last one is labeled Hotkey.  Set it.  Any time you use that hotkey RC will appear.

DrJ. Unzip the contents of the .winzip file and place the entire folder into the RC skins folder. If you don't have the font, install that into your Fonts folder. That's all you need to do.

I meant that when Stardock software installs, it does so in a couple of different folders. Doing it just one would make it easier to access. As to developing it more, I meant that the different applications should have a common flyout type icon in OD...much like the Desktop icon does in the Impulse Dock except it's incomplete as it stands now. Basically it would reorganize the Start Menu.

As to 'talking' to each other, I meant that skinning one (in WC) would cascade to skin all if the skins were available and that it would all be done through the WC window. Does this make more sense?

As to "power user" I don't understand what you mean, though I suppose there's lots of room for my "skills" to improve. May I live so long!

Objectbar is what I use the most...
