One thing Neophil...it would have been better if you had used the "insert web link" option ...it would have been easier to read.

But its still cool that you posted the updates!

Well that's just because i had to prepare the article in a text editor (because of searching for everything's existing

) and i forgot to use the "insert link" when i paste it ...

N.B: BTW, in reading it here i have everything with the word "link" mentioned and not the web adress ...

Hey how are ya. I haven't been very active here The last 18 months. So now that I am back and being active I was surprised to see you have taken a interest in updating Heavy Equipment, which is great! The most massive theme ever put together by so many talented people. I hope that one day someone could update the WindowBlind and DX parts. I am going to update the Suite I made for it, so look for it in the coming days.
I will not include the DX for obvious reasons and for some reason i cant get the wallpaper to download and install correctly through ThemeManager. There are four walls in the zip so that might be the problem. If no one objects I will have to include the first wall with the suite.

oh one more thing, you created the Rainlender skin right, Well mine shows the Magic Pink on the corners. Do you know how I can get rid of that?

Thanks! elvee

Great to see a bump on this thread, elvee!
I DLed all I could find that would work with my current apps, had to do an hour's worth of tweaking and gnarling around first, but got the DX to run(sort of) on DX3, the blind on my WB5 and 1280 X 1024 Samsung. Soon as I shut down and restarted the next day, tho, it was again a bit crumbly round the edges.
Been looking forward to the re-up of this collection to 2007 specs.
Very expectant. ...

Halloo...!
Any WB/DX masters ... ... ??

WB in progress...
I just could'nt help it

But after that, nothing more ...

I've re-asked if he was still on, but no answer ...
After a long time i've asked if someone else should want to do it, but still no one ...

I've also suggested in another thread, maybe Stardock Design may do it (+ some gadgets, why not ?

), but no reaction as well ...

Though i'm also a bit sad, because there's not the WB and without the WB it will not become a usuable suite ...

BTW, i'm taking that occasion to throw once more a S.O.S

I'm considering attempting the blind. I've never tried a WB before but I'm gonna take a look at this new SkinStudio that's supposed to make it easier.
