Downloading rainmeter skins... need help?

Post by Misbelief »

I'm trying to download these 3 skins:
http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/68166
http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/81304
http://customize.org/rainmeter/skins/69354

But during the download, I get this: http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff371/Misbelief/Untitled.png

Sooo... is there any tutorial on how to do this? >.>

Get and in install 7-Zip. It can unarchive .rar files just fine.

Hmmm, never mind on the last question.

So I put the file in the archive in the Skins folder in My Documents, but after I refresh, and I try to launch Rainmeter, nothing happens. o-o
