Thanks for the tip! I downloaded and installed MyColours. Diamond seemed to be included. However I do not want to use MyColours but WB. I was not able to find anything resembling free-standing installation files for Diamond - just a bunch of XML files came with MyColours. The search goes on - I need something that can install on WB...

Install and load MC Diamond, go to WB config click "skin settings" click "rebuild list" Presto! you now have a Diamond My Colors theme and a Windowblind and a Diamond Theme in your theme manager as well. Go get it! Enjoy!!! P.S. This may only work with the paid version.

All you need to do is check "I want to see advanced options when applying suites" under the Settings tab in MyColors, then apply the Diamond theme, and you will get a dialog box where you can select which components to apply. From there you can uncheck everything except the Windowblind...

Diamond included in free MyColors package is newer (glass/transparent Explorer background) than Diamond included with WindowBlinds.

The "only" skin I see in MyColors is Quest. I guess the newer Diamond is not for XP.

Hi All - thanks for the tips; I re-installed WB, but I didn't get Diamond! I am not sure if I rebuilt the list or not since I did the re-install before I saw the post above... It got a bit confusing, since WB renamed all my existing themes "Unknown". Talk about wanting what you cannot have....! This is now the only theme that seems good enough... got to have it!! For the record, I have the fully paid up version of WB (Object Desktop and WinCust subscription. Maybe I should just ask Stardock to send me the wba file...!

I've got it now! You all were right all along, I made some mistake.

Install My Colours, then go into WB and rebuild the skin list.

This brings back Diamond skin.

I'm glad it worked out for you. Don't forget, that also gives you the Diamond and Quest Sidebar Skins. They look great with lots of other WB's. I like Arileen by Quentin94 (from the suite)most.
