Thank you. You do excellent work and I am looking forward to your blinds. I am currently using your Ubuntu 11 skin with a little bit of modifiucation to match my personal preferences. The Ubuntu Tanergince icon package from doogee on Deviantart compliments the colors perfectly. Very easy on the eyes for everyday use. I am very anxious to see what you come up with here. I can't see your screen shot right now, but will check it out w

benmanns - on the surface there doesn't appear to any consistency. When Vista and Win 7 were released, there were multiple offerings to transform XP to a Vista/Win 7 lookalike. There are offerings now to make Win 7 look like a MacOS or a Linux system. It's seems odd that your attempt to make Win 7 into a Win 8 lookalike was rejected. Perhaps there are some unstated legal issues? It's been quite awhile since I used any downloaded skins. People pour t

Thanks benmanns for trying and for letting us know. You effort was very kind and appreciated. Not sure who is not giving you permission, but I am sure they have a reason.

benmanns - sounds wonderful. Thank you for your kindness. I will watch the WB skin offerings. Uvah - sorry. Hard sometimes to interpret the words without the voice inflection. We move on.

If anyone else was having the same problems I described above, I wanted you to know that the newly released version WB 8.06 solved both of the issues I described. No more transparent Chrome top border and one can re-color the Windows Aero theme using the substyles. Thanks Stardock for fixing this.

Thanks benmanns. I appreciate your offer. It s very kind, but not necessary. My question was more to support the original poster and to determine if anything already was available. Sorry for the slow response. After the replies I received above, I've pretty much written off coming here anymore. Hope you're enjoying your games [e digicons]:D[/e]

WB 8.05 (the latest version) fixed the disappearing Chrome top border on my system, but 8.05 messed up the coloring options with Windows Aero substyles. I submitted a support ticket, but no response yet. It's been long enough that it probably got lost and I didn't keep a copy. Not a biggie.

Like the original poster I was simply curious if there were any good Win 8 skins to be found. I learned my lesson. Thanks guys.

Reply to looking for windows 8 skin for windows 7 in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Uvah - hopefully you didn't intend it that way, but I found your response disrespectful. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask if anyone has seen Win 8 skins with different colors. I also don't think it's unreasonable to give a little more detail what one is looking for just in case work like that exists. I surely didn't need the leave us alone and go do it yourself lecture. Sorry about that.

Thanks Gasper. Those screenshots don't look anything like Windows 8. Also, I think the skin was designed to be used on XP - at least what the author states. What I'm looking for (and I think the original poster wants too) are themes for Win 7 like the Win 8 ones that come with WB, but with different color options and different colored (preferably glow) min/max buttons. The black Win 8 theme with WB is very nice, I'd just like to have more colo

dsbig - I looked at the deviantart site a while back and found nothing. I'd really appreciate if you should find anything, that you post a link. I'll do the same. Thanks.

Since there were no responses here, I submitted a support ticket. I received a request from "Brad" for screen captures to show the issues I'm seeing and submitted those. Since I haven't heard anything (here or support), I'll work on the assumption I may be the only one seeing the Windows Aero substyle coloring problem with WB 8.05. It happens. Maybe a WB 8.06 in the offing soon? That might eliminate the iss

Windowblinds 8.04 or 8.05 - which to use? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I have a dilemma. Windowblinds 8.04 works great with everything but Google Chrome (v36 +). Windowblinds 8.05 works with Google Chrome, but I'm unable to use the various substyles of Windows Aero with 8.05, Every Windows Aero subsytle I choose has the blue color of the aero substyle with WB 8.05. Just wondering has anyone else seen this issue? Any checkboxes I need to change? Any plans for a WB 8.06 or a WB 9? Any suggestions or comments apprec

I'm curious if anyone else has seen this. WB 8.00 through 8.04, all worked great for me. OS = Win 7 Pro, 64 bit. Installed WB 8.05 last night. Installed it over 8.04. Installation went smoothly, no issues. Everything appeared to work fine until I changed themes. When I changed the theme back to Windows Aero, the taskbar and start menu were blue as they are with the aero sub-substyle. The blue aero color remained even if I changed to any o

What a great read. Glad I found this article. As a customer, Stardock's Impulse period was also my least favorite. I stopped updating everything Stardock. The replies to my criticisms to Stardock about Impulse were either defensive or ignored. Your posts on the forum, forgive me, too often went off unprofessionally on posters who criticized Stardock. Adding it all up it felt to me like a company who grew too fast and was too "full of itself" to appreciate

Zubaz - sorry to bother you again, but I am still struggling trying to get support. I received an e-mail response a week ago asking me to do some things including installing a registry patch.

I purchased IP 5.1 several weeks ago and have been unable to install it. I submitted a support ticket - Ticket ID: RRW-220-60943 Oct 22, 2012. The support advisor asked me to run a support tool and send the zip output file back. I did that. I received a response several days later that I had 48 hours to respond to the request to run the support tool or my request for support would be canceled. I sent the zip file in a second time, waited several days and
