RIP_2007 Suite

from WinCustomize Forums

I still have the WindowBlinds Skin RIP 2007 (it DOES work on Windows 10 & 11 using WindowBlinds 10 & 11) from the Suite found here:

I LOVE this Skin for Halloween, in particular the Animated Start Menu, but it looks like there are some bits out of place.

Would there be any chance Mike Bryant/Stardock could update this Skin for Windows 10/11?

I'd buy it again if I had to...

Mike has not been active here for a long time so an update on that skin is not likely .

I've been using this skin for years on Win 10. Everything works for me.

Pity, best Halloween skin ever.

Could Stardock not get permission for someone else to update it?

Mike is no longer skinning and is busy with his music career.  I keep up with him on Facebook.

That being the case, maybe you could ask him to give someone permission to update the skin?

I'm pretty sure I made that skin for Stardock and they would need to give permission to update it. It would be fine with me though. Unfortunately, I no longer have any of the files.

I have not done any WB Skinning, so this is just a best guess:
Would the files needed to update it not simply already be in the Skin Package?

The flat files would be in the skin package. I just don't have any of the original Photoshop files anymore, which would be a helpful resource for creating any new parts.

Ok, so that being said, is there any Skinner willing to take this on?

As I said before, I can't Skin, but I'd be willing to do a Start Menu Button to throw in the package.

Any chance of getting this skin back? I bought it and lost it. Since Mike is not deveolping anymore, is there a WBA of this or can I install theme manager and still install this great hallpween theme?

 

Please help...

Well then STARDOCK, how about sharing this theme! I paid for it and now its gone. And how do I download the latest theme manager? My 2007 versions says I don't have Windowblinds installed and I do.

Theme manager was supported by Winndows 7, 8 and 8.1 none of which are supported any longer by Microsoft.

Thanks,

Stardock kept referring it was part of Objectdoc package but I didn't see it. 

And its too bad on an old theme such as RIP 2007 or 2008 and somebody posted they had it working with windows10 which I'm still running can't offer up how they did it or provide that file I must be missing. 

I have the suite version RIP 2007, but my older version theme manager 2007 doesn't recongize I have Window blinds already installed. 

So it doesn't work.
