Hello Flyboy, You forgot to click the browse tab. If you click browse, you can see everything installed. I even took a screenshot to show you that it works (don't expect any info because the author didn't make any metadata.)

btw, I think I know you from somewhere... ;) FEZ perhaps? Don't worry, it might not be you that I met on FEZ.

Naw man, see I used the browse tab and it still isnt showing up. I refreshed and restarted Rainmeter and it just wont show.
Do you think its because I have Rainmeter in my C: Drive and not the D: Drive?
(The D: Drive has the program files, but it says in the tutorial that the "My Documents" folder holds the place where you actually have to save your skins)

Open RainBrowser, then click on any skin -> Open Skin Folder. Go up a directory or two and make sure you got the DarkGlass stuff there.

Well, it might be that because rainmeter is installed into your C: Drive and your documents are in the D: Drive, that rainmeter is thinking your skinspath is the C: drive. I do not know if rainmeter supports rainmeter being on a seperate hard drive than your documents, but I do understand your question. It does seem that the only skins showing up on your Rainbrowser are the ones installed in the program files skin directory. Try placing your skin into "C:\Program Files (x86)\Rainmeter\Skins"
(I think this is right, cause your C: drive is labeled OS and your D: drive was the one with my documents) Although this is usually not recommended, it should fix the problem in your case.

Rainmeter is perfectly happy with the program and skins being on seperate drives. That is how i have mine set.

Putting the skins in the program files path will only work if your rainmeter.ini file is in the rainmeter folder there as well, effectively a portable install.
