Long, long ago in a faraway galaxy.........

February 25, 2010 9:53:36 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

... like maybe TEN years, and Window Blinds was very new......

There wer quite a number of skins made that were animated.  I don't mean like start menus (XP wasn't even out yet), but window borders.  I remember one themed on the Matrix move, another one with green lightning bolts and yet another with bubbles in an aquarium.  These are just the ones I can remember, there may have been others.

Anyhow, I notice the repositary here has many skins in it from that timeframe (oldies, but goodies).  The problem is "wading thru" HUNDREDS of the things since there appears to be no catagory for animated skins.   Or did I miss it.   NE1 know how to EASILY find these old animated skins??  On this site, or any other site??

Thanks

Boo

Well, I can't really help you but to say that a lot of those really old windowblinds skins would likely not work correctly with the newest versions of WindowBlinds anyway.

No, they don't... not always.   I've had many in my library for years now, and while they usually have the windows frames and etc, the start panels are often missing/replaced with Stardock's 'Diamond" one.... defeats the purpose IYKWIM.

I made a few...... They were: "Beelzebub", "Clouds", and maybe a few others that I can't remember the name of. Not sure if they would still work with the newer versions of WB though.

Yup, just tried 'Beelzebub' and 'Clouds' in Win 7 with WB 7.01 (build 247), both work fine.  Must be the quality build/workmanship.
