I have a shareware version of Windowblinds 5 and the window frames (or whatever you call it) are neither transparent nor translucent (just plain white). Is that because of the shareware stuff?
P.S. I agree with DarkDragonAn. The old start button would be nice.
P.S.2 Could you make the IE icons more Vista like? (I know, I am asking for a lot)

Thanx

a brilliant skin, really close to windows vits aero UI, however, can u plz also release a non transparent version,like VistaXP Black by Kol, i like a mixture of both skins more then original like Shellstyle of arrow while Black theme or VistaXP, fonts of Arrow & non-transparent menus & non transparent un-maximised window titlebar of VistaXP Black, per pixel alpha blending & smooth edges are good but glass effect is not my thing

these are a few bugs which i noticed, plz have a look, i think these are bugs

http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/4663/28jr.jpg, it's transparent titlebar, because of which it's hard to read the text, plz also release a non transparent theme like vistaXP black or smiliar

When I download the .wba and WindowBlinds pops up the little box asking if I want to install it, the name in the dialog is blank. I don't see Arrow in the list of installed skins. I first saw this on the late betas but I have 5.0 now & it still isn't there. Anyone else? Advice?

I agree... These are some images of what I would like it to look like... (they're from Paul Thurrott's Winsupersite Link)


OR


I would also like for Arrow to include the upper righthand corner X (that closes the window) in red (like in the screenshot above) and the 'window/s' that maximizes and minimizes the window also like in the screen above.

Thanx

I also agree. This is one of the most beautiful WB skins I've ever used but the transparency in the titlebars make it a bit hard to use at times. I tried the VistaXP skin but it is not nearly as polished and nice as this one. At the very least can you make a substyle that uses the black titlebar for normal windows like the one you use for maximized windows? Also the only other issue I noticed is when you click on the icon in the top left corner of the window it does not give you a menu, and if the window is maximized and you double-click all the way in the top left corner nothing happens, it should close when you do that.

Thank you!!!

by the way, i was using your other theme called "Aura" and the transparency on the borders work fine...so i think it's just this particular theme that something's wrong.

Bloake, the shareware version only supports per-pixel transparency in the skins that come with it. Aura is among those. If you want to download additional per-pixel skins, you need to buy WindowBlinds.

Hello MikeB314,

nice job !

But, in my opinion, the windows titlebar are too transparent and need to be more opaque or more fuzzy.
Otherwize there is no shadow under the start menu, is it normal ?

Thanks a lot and keep up the good job !

arichardson1987, WindowBlinds doesn't skin your icons. You need Icon Packager for that.

Oh right, thanks for that info. Can you please tell me what icon skin you used for the arrow screenshot shown here?

A great skin - however, is it possible to increase the opacity of the border on the focused window, it is sometimes difficult to "grab" the correct window to drag.

Thanks

To arichardson1987: The skin is included with this skin... You just need iconpackager to use it...

To MikeB314:I'm still hoping for a non-transparent version. Thanks
