The Horror

May 30, 2006 10:51:37 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Greetings, all. this is my first time posting. I was trying to set up my new laptop with a horror theme, but noticed a complete lack of good Blinds to work with. There are lots of "Evil Windows" Loading screens, but very few decent blinds. I was wondering if I could either challenge some of the awesome artists here to create a Windows Blind with a horror theme (not based on any movie or holiday, just a generic creepy theme) Or have someone point me in the direction of a good creepy theme. Anyways, thanks in advance, regardless.

You ever read the book " How to win friends and influence people ?"

Perhaps you should.

This is what you're looking for>Link

I sure hope they don't cut the artist pay and benefits over this thread.

My apologies, Fairyy, I did not mean that there weren't ANY good blinds, in fact most that I have seen are amazing, and a definite improvement over Windows constraining interface, I meant within the genre that I am searching for. There simply appears to be a lack of interest, or perhaps I am searching incorrectly. By no means did I intend to imply that the art created by the people here was in any way crap, on the contrary I find this whole thing fascinating and marvel at some of the things people have done with the GUI, and thank you for the links both Fairyy and TheGuy

These aren't actually creepy, but all have a nice, dark, goth feel to them. You could also try searching the wb gallery (and others) under the subsection 'Holiday' for some great Halloween stuff.

This is probably my favorite Wall in the "evil" scheme of things.

Link

There is a WB skin on the same site called "House of Zoltar" by ToeNail that goes well with this wall, although it's not of the highest quality. Still, it is evil!
You can find it...along with a few "evil" others if you go to the link above and scroll down the page a bit.

MWAAAHHHAAAHHAAAHAAAA!!!

Cheers!

I kinda figured it was just the way you worded it. If im going for " Evil " i usually just go with a black blind or something with flames. If your just looking for your start menu to be a little bloody ..you could do it yourself in Skin Studio..You could just tweak a blind you like with a bit of ghoulish graphics yourself . Most of the creepy blinds come out around Halloween.
