hmmm....

I unistalled both WA3 and WAD. Then I installed just WAD and I am able to play with the different skins located in the *root*\Themes\Desktop\ folders just fine. I see all the skins i added.
I then added the WA3 v 3.1.0.7 and the capability to select or SEE any skins listed is gone. If I go to desktop skins all the selections are gone. It has to be a problem with WA3 v3.1.0.7

im lost.....
