Ideally skins should NOT be in .rar format archives.

The various archive suffixes assigned to the skinnable proggies...eg logons, bootskins, Windowblinds, Winamp, etc are ALL renamed .zip archives.

A Windowblind skin is .wba which, if the suffix is renamed to .zip can be openned with any regular zipping program....quite handy.

.rar is a different archive algorythm which is NOT supported...and requires such proggies as WinRAR to open...

You can download IZArc. It's freeware and it can extract rar files and just about any other archive you might find. WWW Link
