I said to check it because I thought just the illusto skins can be loaded. Those are the default skins of Rainmeter, so if you have set a wrong path for the Skins folder, it sees just the illusto skins.

I checked the folders and they're all empty now excerpt for a background png file in a couple of folders. This is only happening on my laptop running Windows 8, the laptop running Windows 10 is fine.

Which folders are empty? Those you have in the Skins folder?
If so, you're deleted your skins. In this case will have to reinstall them.

How did you try reinstalling it? Best would be to go to the Share Your Creations section here on the forum, download any package and try to install that one. Doesn't matter too much which one do you download, choose any one, just to see if it can be installed properly.

Tried downloading from the page you provided and a different version downloaded, but the version below did not.

Doesn't matter too much where are you downloading, this forum, or the DeviantArt, usually both are trustful. But have you tried installing it? Did you succeed?

Did the installer install the skin? If so, it also didn't show up?
