Updating old WB skins

Windows versions ready

There aren't many new free WB skins these days. I have around six old skins I made for XP. Most were rated six stars, so I feel like I at least have a decent foundation to build on. How do I go about updating them to get the Windows 7, 8, and 10 ready badge for my skins?

Please keep in mind, I am an old fart 10 years out of practice on making skins.

Thanks in advance for any help, you can offer.

Yes, I do believe there's a decline in skinning. Use to be all sorts of people were making them, now seems like only a few.

One of my favorite skinners is "Essorant". Tried reaching him/her a few times, but no response. Current blind in use is "Laguna", and listed by Stardock Design. Will Stardock Design be updating their Windowblinds to Win 10?

If it's a win 7 skin it will work pretty well. If it's xp or vista not so much. As far as SD updating old skins. Anything is possible but from what I have read when asked by others I doubt it.

I really doubt that SD will make the investment of time an labor to do much of any more updates to Windowblinds in general, much less the older skins. I asked the question about the decline of skinning, and even it didn't get much response. If there isn't a profit in it for them, it doesn't make sense for a business. Individuals who do it for the love of skinning might, but they'd have to be pretty dedicated.

Back in my early days I skinned .MSStyles for StyleXP until TGTSoft folded. I for one will continue to design Windowblinds skins until either I, or it, dies.
