WindowBlinds skins for Vista

from WinCustomize Forums
It would be nice if there was a separate section for WindowBlinds skins that are designed to be used with Vista, or at least a "compatible with Vista" check-box that skinners can check/un-check when they upload. Often skins developed for XP are not compatible and the skinners do not always mention whether their skins work properly with Vista.

What version of WB are you using?
What skins are not working?

Most skinners don't have Vista but XP skins should work well.

Good point, Vicsan. Not all skins work properly in Vista. Due to the way the start menu is built some skins will not skin the all programs scrolling section right. I know this because I downloaded a few that did not work right.

WinCustomize should have a section just for Vista WindowBlinds skins. that way we know for sure they work right. That way we don't have to waist our time downloading and getting our hopes up that a skin we liked works when it doesn't.

For the most part, all skins design in XP should work great on Vista. The only place they will have problems is the startmenu depending upon how the skin was created.

Most of the skinners right now are either hoping it works well with vista or doing their best to create a vista substyle. Once the next version of SkinStudio comes out there should be no questions on if it will work with Vista or not, least that is the hope for most of us

Be patient, soon it should not be much of a problem and keep a lookout for those skins that say they are vista ready and pray for the rest
