VERY OLD THREAD - How do I install 'skins" in reaper? 

I saw a cool skin that looks like pro tools.Can anybody explain what I need to do step by step in order to get it to work in reaper.im a noob.Any help would be great!-thanks

Just download and insert the file in your Reaper folder called "Color Themes", and it should then appear in your list of skins when you open Reaper.

First, have you already downloaded the color theme? If not, you will need to extract the compressed file to the 'Color Themes' folder inside the main Reaper folder. I like to use winrar to do so. You can get a trial version of it for free online. Once you click on the skin download link it will open automatically in winrar. You can either extract it directly to the Color Themes folder, or you can extract it to a different folder of your choice and then just copy and paste from there into the Reaper Color Themes folder. I do the latter, don't know why really. I guess I just like to see the files before putting them into their destination. Let us know if you have any more troubles.

Cool guys..thanks.im digging the pt 8 theme!

Okay, what Am I doing wrong? I have downloaded several themes and placed them in the Color Themes folder. I have 4 new ones in there, I have done this on my laptop multiple times, but on my new windows machine the themes will not show up. it only gives me the option of the default, default 2, and classic theme...help?

New location for themes: Option > Show REAPER resource path in Explorer/finder
