Does any error occured? Or you just don't see any new skin on the desktop? If the second happens, locate and click the Rainmeter icon on the notification area. The Manage Window should open and the new skins should appear on the left column. Select the ones you want and click "Load".

The package author must create the package properly for that to work. If the package author has not specified a theme to load, then you must manually load the skins.

ok thank u
but i found some thing i do't understand when i tried to install a .rmskin file which has on skins it didn't be installed but when i tried to install another one that has skin and theme it insalled perfectly can i avoid these , because all themes in deviant art has only skins!!!!

This shouldn't be happening. Give us an example of a .rmskin file without themes that doesn't install the skins, to find out the problem.

That Torn Skin .rmskin installs fine for me. It has no theme included, and does not automatically load any skins when installed, but when I open Manage the skins are there and load just fine.

It depends on the author. If he/she has created a "theme" to go along with the skins, then he can tell the .rmskin to load the theme when it is installed. If he doesn't have a theme, and most don't, he can tell the .rmskin to just load the skin or skins when installed. This is up to the author as well. Finally, he can (like the Torn Skin author) just have it install the skins and leave it up to you which ones to load or not load.
