Downloading WinStyles

from WinCustomize Forums
When I download WinStyle skins, if I already have say, the windowblinds skin, will it use up extra hard drive space downloading a suite that has that skin included?

Thanks

That's hard to say for sure. If you download a .xptheme file, then yes, the windowblind will be packaged(zipped) in the theme. If you download a 1k excutable, you can check to see if it is going to download the windowblind again, and uncheck it if you already have it. Then maybe you can re-check it when you apply it from winstyles. But, if it creates a full package then, yes, the windowblind will be zipped. One way to check is to look for large .xptheme files on your computer(in winstyles). And, then if you have two different versions of the same windowblind, everything changes.

Personally though, I don't worry about it. But, I have 200GB of space. And, I like my themes packaged for back ups to CDR.

Anyone who can explain this better, please do.

Actually, WinStyles will just overwrite your existing skin if you already have it. So you won't use up any space you weren't already using.
