That is because the path to SKS is set wrong in WB8 Jim. SKS8 installs to a different location than SKS7 did. I have no idea why they did that though, SKS8 lists as an upgrade, yet it installs to an incorrect location.  For instance, because of font issues I have pointed out for when I try to change Windows 7/8 fonts, I had to install SKS7 and SKS8 on my Windows 8 in order for the SKS8 to work. But in WB8 when I click the Edit in SKS link, it launches SKS7 and not SKS8. Lots of issues to still work out.

Uninstall the build of SKS you have and install the latest version.  Those issues were resolved.

I have SKS 8.0 beta....."open this skin in skinstudio" does nothing (WindowBlinds 7.98 (014 - Windows 7 Edition) - 64 bit OS).

On W7 HP x64.

I wish WB 7.98 would open SKS like it used to. Now I have to search for it in the Start Menu. Also, I can't pin it to the task bar.

* Sorry, Tim. Was on page 1 and didn't see your reply.

Pin something else there then change the target and label....bingo!

Well that kinda works. I pinned mspaint there and edited the target, label and icon. The icon on the taskbar never changed but it did open sks. I tried a log on log off and the shortcut was gone.

Yep, does it to me too, after rebooting it was gone.

I did however work on pinning it to the startpanel.

Well here's a good question. Where did you put the settings for the task bar toolbar buttons (horizontal and vertical) and related settings at? They are no longer in SKS8, and now I have to put the old SKS back just to change them. Extremely disappointed, major oversight.

Which settings?

I see the taskbar button sections for horz and vert taskbars here.

You should remember some older unused sections (AKA XP only) have been removed from SKS.

I think he means quicklaunch buttons

They are still used for toolbar arrow mouseover.

Quicklaunch and pinned app settings are only shown in tree mode view. The are omitted from the section based view.

Well that's downright ridiculous, I don't use tree mode. Hope they put it back into Section Based view.

I never use tree mode either. It's ironic, though. Remember going over from sks 5 to sks 6? That was one of the things us skinners were adamant about....."we NEED to have the tree mode back" (it wasn't in the first betas of sks 6). I did use it in the very start but gradually stopped.

Still kinda miss the click-able preview from sks 5, though.
