Thanks for the OldNewExplorer tip.  I was curious if those "Win10 Ready", "WB7 Ready" images are given by Wincustomize after some approval process, or are they left to the discretion of the artist, when they feel that they have reached that level of compatibility?

If you want to use the latest skins you have to have money. Gone are the days where skinning was fun. Now it's for profit. I have nothing against anyone being paid for their labor but it used to be different here. Not all but some of the so called Master skins are over priced for what they are. You can count the number of skinners who still offer some of their skins for free with one hand. I know I should create my own skins if I don't like it. 

What more skinners and more skins?  Help Stardock spread the word about skinning.  Share your desktop through social media.  Share your passion.

Nothing there.

Interesting and sad thread for Wincustomize, windowblinds and Stardock and customers like me.  Doesn't appear anybody considers this issue important.  Guess we're suppose to throw them all away.  Too bad, Starbucks will be losing a long time paying customer, since 2001

I have Win7 Pro and ten-fifteen skins that I either paid for or were free, that are excellent for my needs.   Not a clue how to update them for Windows 10 PRO, much less the time to learn to be skin designer while learning Win10 PRo. 

If any of those skins are by vStyler or myself, let me know. We have been working on updates to Windows 10 for a few months now, and still more to go. 

Its good you couldn't help yourself.  Stardock and Starbuck are one in the same, right?

Can anyone create an updated or new "NextOS" windowblinds skin like the one by i-Umami found here :

https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/6989/

I've so far been unable to contact i-Umami about updating this skin.  I've been using it for a very long time, and I love it, but it really needs to be updated for Windows 10.  Can someone help?

Stardock's 'responsibility' is to update their programs to conform with the new OS releases [as and when that is possible].

The content [skins] has always primarily been created by the Skinning Community, not Stardock.

Where Skinners are continuing to create/upload works there will be content supporting the new OS versions.....

Now, re 'Starbucks' .... no, the coffee is utter rubbish - to the point where I fear  Americans really have no idea what coffee is.

Certainly if you think that tasteless muck is coffee there is no hope for you...

We mericuns cain't hep it if we's ust ta sludge. We wuz brung up thankin it's normul. 

This thread has been officially hijacked by coffee fanatics.  Mountain Dew is my caffeine fix.

While we are on the subject of updating WB skins, do you think there has been a decline of 
"skinning" or modifying later versions of Windows in general?
