When you installed Rainmeter, did you do a "normal" or "portable" installation?

I also had problems with this theme, i installed it, but it doesnt show up on the theme list. Weird!!

There is no RainThemes "theme" included with this skin set. When you run the .rmskin, it just installs all the skins in

Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\My Documents\Rainmeter\Skins
Windows Vista and later: C:\Users\YourName\My Documents\Rainmeter\Skins

and then loads one skin called "Startup Sound" that plays a wav file.

Then what you do is open RainBrowser, which is in the Windows Start menu under Rainmeter, and then "Browse" to the Blue Vision skins, and load the ones you want. They will all load in the top left corner of your screen, and you can drag them where you want them. Once you have it set up as you like, THEN you can save a "theme" so you can easily get back to your configuration by using RainThemes.
