Blinds you'd like to see updated with more modern features

Post any requests/permissions/etc here

January 21, 2007 12:24:13 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
Hello I was reading the Heavy Equipment thread and I had a thought.

How about having a single thread where you can request updates to some of the old school bllinds or ask permission if you have updates available?

I know for myself I lack skills but I wouldn't mind to see an update to this awesome blind by SkinStudio.

Excellent idea, TheD2JBug! Many, MANY, of the "older" skins and themes are of exceptional quality and it would be a real pleasure to even see them up again, let alone "upgraded. So many come to mind that I've got to jump off the 'set' here and do some research lest I leave anyone out...back after...

Alien Technology! WOW! What a great skin. Used it for mouths. I even skinned a bunch of programs for that one. (And I Don't Skin).
What a great idea.

The Blinds with trick buttons a la kol's Fresco and Crumbut's Heavy Equipment. Some of the options are "transparency" and a media-player toggle on/off on the bottom frame. There was a period of time when many of the creators were including various options like this. Seems like 2001-2003.
Especially attractive for me are the Blinds that have "recessed" and "outlined" entries on the Start Menu and its sub-menus.

In the works.
Just need to finish up BluNite, which was deleted yesterday.
I'd be real surprised if anyone remembers it.

You know bug, what a great idea!

It'd be great if some of the old skins were updatted.  What could be even cooler is if the old authors mentored some of the new to get the skins updated.

{It makes me almost want to try skinning; but first I need a tutorial on how to open a graphics program, I'm that big a noob.)

Marinara (exklusive Skin on the 1st Wincustomize CD, already have shellstyles and the taskbar done, but stopped at the startmenu, too hard without the origial graphics)
Sputnik
Synchronus (+ the whole Carbonix Suite)
Unorthodox Suite
Synapse
CopperDeck2

There are so many good old skins that would shine in new glory by updates...

Thanks Ross

If you've really got the update bug, my wife's all time favorite is Virtuality and I always like the Candyglass skins too.

I only wish that per-pixel supported smart buttons.  I loved having those available.

[What would be really cool, was embedding DX objects in a WB skin.  A whole new catagory of micro-widgets could pop up]

Lantec, working my way up from my very first skin until now.
So, I'll try to get to it. At this point, we'll see what I can do...
Alot of my first 10 skins didn't go over to well. (Anybody remember "Try This"? What a nightmare). So hopefully I can put a little spark in them.

BluNite-75% done.

YES YES YES. Gonna be hard to get that one any better.

Carl(c242) CopperDeck2 is the update. Maybe I am wrong.

Nitinol by neophile (long gone from the scene, I'm afraid).
Any/all of essorant's early skins (some of which he's already updated).
Any/all of Mike Bryant's early stuff, especially Grayce & ProjectX.
Crystallized by honz.
Jafo's BlindJafo series.

That would be a good start.

DMX-Tweak-R2 by Jay is one of my all time favs (works well in Vista BTW) and is one of the older skin that'd look great with some of the newer features of WB5.
