Thanks to both of you for having taken the time to respond. Really!

@TBGBe I bet you're right, that I am confused. But the page you sent me to, one that I have open in a tab already, is likely the source of my confusion. Near the top of the page:

1. DirectSkin skin file (.uis)

PowerArchiver uses Stardock's DirectSkin engine to modify the look and feel of PowerArchiver's Windows controls, such as buttons, borders, tabs, scrollbars and more. PowerArchiver can be completely skinned using a UIS skin.

These skins are same as those in Stradock's popular WindowBlinds application, and WindowBlinds skins can be used in PowerArchiver as well. You can use Stardock's excellent SkinStudio to create skins.

Just above that, it says:

A PSF file may contain several items:

DirectSkin skin file (.uis)
toolbar.bmp <- mandatory name
.ICO icon files
settings.ini <- mandatory name

I used WinZip to look inside Colony.psf, and copied it's contents to a folder. There's no .uis file, toolbar.bmp (but there is a ToolLeft.bmp and a ToolRight.bmp), no .ICO files, nor settings.ini file. Did I download an incomplete skin? It's at least partially working, or maybe it's doing exactly what it's supposed to when it only skins PA, but no other apps are affected by it. Am I expecting it to do something it's not intended to do?

@spwolf I also searched that folder for "wb", and turned up no results for that, either.

I'm going to go look for another copy of Colony.psf, and if I can find one, will look at it's contents, too. I'll post here immediately as soon as I find a more complete .psf file. What should I do next if what I have is all I can get?
