I prefer Coke over Pepsi anyway. Very not bad JC. 

BTW: You forgot the rum.   

 

I guess "Very not bad" means Very pretty good, lol and no I did not forget the rum, it I behind the start menu hiding. With my van in the picture I did not people to accuse me of drinking and driving.

I don't understand why the pic always goes in above the text. It used to go in after.

 

I usually have to edit to get it right....grrrr.

Do  you click under your comments after writing them and then add the picture? I have to always make sure I click in the comment box under my comment before adding the picture or else the picture will be above.

Yes, Ken. But since I "upgraded" to 8.1, and using IE 11, I click below my text, then go to the add a pic icon at the top of the reply box, add the url, and it puts the pic first. Editing that is hit or miss.

Been having to edit every reply with pictures since getting Win 8.1.

 

I dunno. PITA.

Well I was browsing in the Windowblinds, becoming a bit nostalgic seeing names of skinners/friends I hadn't thought ofor seen for a long time.  Also looking for the Windowblinds that first drew me to this website a long time ago.  This one Heavy Equipment was always a great favorite of mine, but as you can see it doesn't look so perfect on Windows7...well it wasn't made for that, but I wanted to try anyway! The graphics are still excellent, the only thing that doesn't really work is the title bar...there isn't any.  Just reminiscing....

WindowBlinds is 15 years old today!

congratulations to Windowblinds and all involved in developing it and bringing it to us... the amount of fun and pleasure it's created for me over nearly 10 years... it's just the best money ever spent...

and thanks to all the skinners who have spent an incredible number of hours to bring us such wonderful creations to play with... blinds..and all the accessories...

We want to see your best desktop screenshot using your favorite WindowBlinds skin.

How the hell can you pick just one...   :|

 

an all time fave for me is v's Penthouse... it makes for a beautifully subtle and serenely toned desktop...

 

Sakura is probably my most used as it is by far the best blind for superb recolouring tones... pick any wallpaper... and Sakura is the perfect match..

 

It's Agenda when I want a classic, classy desktop...

 

LED is another blind that recolours really well, making it extremely versatile & one of my regulars...

 

Andromeda for a blue, techie mood...

 

Frontier for it's luminescence...

 

VOX for those amazing buttons....

 

then there's.....
