its for StyleXP (or uxtheme.dll patch), not windowblinds ;)

if you want a program to make skins for windowblinds: SkinStudio

RE: custom themes
1. Download and run uxtheme.dll patch (google for it)
2. Download and install stylebuilder (siths link)
3. Make theme and export as .msstyle (only option)
4. Copy .msstyle to C:\WINDOWS\Resources\Themes
5. Double-click .msstyle file

it should now appear in the "Display Properties" window

no, it doesn't edit the details, like the colours of the task bar, the look of the start button, you can only play around with PRE_MADE COMBINATIONS of other peoples works,  the second link edits everything, but it doesn't export to .theme
