After years of being away I came back to try out the latest Windowsblinds specifically to skin Office 2013 apps.

No Joy.  I guess it isn't possible to do anything with that dreadful look in Office 2013? </sigh>

 James Gandolfini has died, according to CNN, reporting on a statement by Mara Mikialian, HBO's vice president for program publicity.Apparently, the actor was on vacation in Rome when he suffered a massive heart attack and died.
Gandolfini was best known for his role as Tony Soprano in HBO's "The Sopranos", but he acted opposite Robert Redford, and many others in important film roles. 
He was only 51 years old. I will miss his work a good deal. H...

I am new to making my own skins. Is there a default Win8 skin (i.e. looks as if you don't have windowblinds running)  I can use as a template to modify starting from there, or is that a copyright no-no? I wouldn't necessarily plan on sharing the skin unless i end up modifying it a lot.

There seem to be quite a few problems with WB8. Amongst other things, when you apply a skin it usually changes the desktop color. If you want to keep your own choice of desktop color then, previously, you had to right click on the desktop, go to personalization and change it in the advance settings, Windows 7 color and Appearance app.

Now, in WB8, when you go into the Color and Appearance app and change the desktop color it indicates that it's doing that but the color doesn't change. ...

When I place the email icon on my desktop, it works great. However, when I restart my computer, they disappear, and I have to reload. How can I fix this?

Hello,

My main purpose in purchasing Windows Blinds 8 was to change the annoying default Windows 8 "feature" in which a window title bar is the same basic color as the window background.  The "Diamond" skin supplied with Windows Blinds 8 is a pretty good match for what I want except for the entire desktop background color.  I want a solid black desktop since I have 5 monitors and anything else is pretty distracting.  I've opened the "Diamond" skin with the SkinEdi...

Hey guys, I made some pages with fences and I have two problems.

 

Firstly, when right clicking a folder and adding to desktop, twice I had it not show up. Later, when making pages, I drag the page to the right, and I can see two identical sets of icons with no fences, yet they move across the screen with the other fence portals.

 

Secondly, when I drag the pages to the right, they snap back to the left when I let go of the mouse.

Is this actually for real? I mean do they really have working 512-qubit quantum computer and its possible to use it for some serious computing?

I have WindowsFX installed both an a laptop and a desktop.

 

Both use Windows 7 x64

Laptop uses an Nvidia Optimus setup (Intel 3000 and Nvidia GT555M)

Desktop uses an Nvidia GTX660

 

WindowsFX settings are exactly the same. On the laptop the FX are handled through Intel 3000, on the desktop through Nvidia card.

Thing is, while on the laptop wobbly animations appear even while I drag the windows, on desktop the effect is different.

 

I drag the window, it...

Saw it today....Terry spent a lot of time 'hiding'....she enjoys Zombie movies.....

It was good, we both enjoyed it.

Movies re Zombies, Vampires, and such always make me wonder....is there a book of 'rules' by which everyone MUST follow...re how to kill/avoid/beat/etc such critters?

I hear tell they don't actually exist so are the 'creation' of someone's imagination....

 

 

....but I could be wrong....

Hello,

I have an anoying bug:

1- If I run photoshop using skin on it: I have an horizontal offset (to the left) when using the color selector (for example). So I tried over skins and the conclusion is that the amount of the offset is related to the width of the perpixel side frame.

2- Then, I tried excluding photoshop skining in WB8 options, And in this case I have not the offset problem BUT I have no image displayed !! (my image only appears in the navigation preview area (at top right...

Putting aside the debate over whether the  I in Into is capitalized or not, the movie was terrific.

No spoilers in this post.

Having managed to avoid spoilers going into the theater I was surprised again and again as the movie progressed. It’s very much a character driven story.  Sure, there are some great special effects and some surprisingly detailed depictions of Earth in the 23rd century (more than I think we’ve ever gotten in a Star Trek film).

Having tried many options and searching forums, I have yet to find a solution to why Taskbar will not skin on reboot or cold boot after having chosen skin. Also the Charms/Settings bar will not show any text below Title.

To work around this issue, I must load default skin, then load desired skin.

The picture links below will show issue and also provide all needed information.

And yes, that is Treetogs Sputnik from 2005. However, I have this issue with any and all skins.

Hello,

I'm using Win8-64bit and I have 5 monitors driven by 3 nVidia cards.  I'm also using the latest versions of Start 8, Fences, and Blinds.  All software, including the OS, is up to date.  My monitors are configured in a 2-above/3-below (like a pyramid) configuration with the top two being standard 16:9 and the bottom three being standard 5:4.  Without fail, whenever I open a Windows Explorer window and drag it onto either of the top monitors it gets locked int...
