Venom for WB - Released

come to the darkside...

http://maxstyles.com/news.php

I wanted to make a red and black theme that took advantage of the dramatic contrasts that this color combo can achieve.

It's been described many ways by folks as I have been building it... devilish, menacing, provocative, wikked, luminescent, masterpiece, fierce, ''pushing the envelopes''  However you may feel about it after loading it up I truly hope that enjoy the experience. It has been a challenging and time consuming theme to construct.

All matching skins will be loaded soon on Wincustomize.com, and there are a bunch, and lastly as I have mentioned before all truly dark skins will have a couple of areas here and there that can cause problems, mostly in MS Office, I have included a light version for each OS. There is also a winflag Start button alternative included in the zip that can be dropped in the WB folder.

Please leave your thoughts on this theme, thanks and Enjoy VENOM!

It's hard to find any SUITABLE words for this creation...it's like something ahead of its time, you know like some piece of technology that shouldn't exist yet, but in some 40,50 years.

I think John should be given an ISO certificate that proves this skin into a flawless product, like there should be a standard which defines PERFECTION!

All I can say is Thank You for keeping us so happy ^_^ and impressed :(O !

Anyone else having problems with Firefox window borders? :\

Anyone else having problems with Firefox window borders?

 

What operating system are you using?  If it is XP, Windowblinds has some problems in that area right now from what I gather from Neil, so you might want to wait for the next update to it and see if the problem goes away.

I'm using Windows 7 64 bit. It seems firefox is the only program that has this problem. I get a wide variety of window frame issues.......

I hope your sales reflect the quality and craftsmanship that went into this. Beautiful job! 5* My Green Dot card is inactive or I'd buy it myself right now. Definitely on my wish list though.:thumbsup:

This isn't just a windowblind skin it's an outstanding work of art John.

Def and odd one there G3mpi3, Running latest FF here , 7X64 too, no issues. Does it do that un-recolored? Certainly doesn't look like an issue with the blind and I haven't had anyone else report it, Maybe Neil can shed some light when he wakes up :thumbsup:

 

Thanks everyone, really nice comments from all of you, I worked very hard on this, nice that its going over well :inlove:

Same thing here G3mpi3, I checked Venom in Windows 7 64-bit and latest FF, no problems at all.

I hear some folks are rolling back their WB version a bit, newest I guess has some issues with some skins on some comps as far as I can tell..

Reply #19 Top

I mean....who'd have thought you'd come across a cartoon like this....  ....what a fluke.... 

 

 

this skin is wild!!......anyone who doesn't have this skin on...will look naked.....mind you....  :|    Naked is good too...    :w00t:   ;)

 

seriously though......awesome work mate.... :thumbsup:   just superb... :)

Thanks Syd :smitten:

Hmm......I tried reinstalling and rolling back windowblinds, and I still get the same thing. I also learned it's not just firefox.......all of the window frames are glitchy when I click the desktop. I believe you when you say it's not the skin, it's just kind of frustrating and unfortunate. Oh well.

Really odd, I know at least 30 folks + have the blind and no other issues, Have you tried redownloading the WB from Maxstyles?

Perhaps a corrupt download? and.. is it the same with all re-coloring settings reset?

Reply #23 Top

Yeah it's the same with all the re-coloring settings, and all the default settings for that matter. Don't feel bad that I'm having problems, it's okay. I'll try re-downloading and see what happens.

Don't feel bad that I'm having problems, it's okay

It's not ok with me tho, I'll like to get it resolved. Said it before, can't tolerate unhappy campers :\

Ah, well I tried downloading again, and I ended up with the same thing. I have no idea what's causing this.........maybe I'll trying reinstalling my OS? I don't know. Either way, I still love this skin, and you did a great job on it.
