How to Download Wii Skins

The Nintendo Wii has a very specific look, with white buttons, soft blue highlights and plenty of family-friendly flair. That look and feel is one that you can use on your computer, too! Using a program like Windows Blinds or Object Desktop, you can download Wii skins to make your computer look like your beloved console. You can even download programs that allow you to use your Wiimote on your PC!
