No... if you will look up to reply # 30 there is a link to a post where I explain in detail the issues I am having and without starting a revolt I can provide at least 3-4 other skinners that will corroborate the same problems. Its nothing to do with installing Windowblinds (the program), sorry if there was a misconception and again I am NOT complaining just for the sake of it. i do this for a living and it would behoove me as well as every other skinner of WB and Stardock to try and re

I realize SKS is sort of in the doldrums right now, heck i can't raise Adam from the dead thesedays...however I think I have more problems with installing and updating WB's though.. and while I fully understand what you say Im sure some attempt at some point could be made by Neil to at least fix Install\apply issues..

Why not make the text white or light gray? XP is tricky.. some areas u cant change text color, you have to balance all colors in all areas with respect to how its going to affect elements elsewhere.

I think in a nutshell Brad your right about no company being perfect..but there are ( and theres no way to candycoat this) some things about SKS and WB that are in your face problems that have existed for a good while and no matter what is said by anyone seem to never get fixed.

more than anything else I have to agree, that actual blue is almost half way up the Brightness scale.. its just dark of midway..

Hilarious jafo.. Anyway.. this is really saying a lot but at the same time very little. Im wondering if its monitor settings or people's eyesight or just preference. It'll drive a skinner nutty.

To solve an ongoing discussion with a friend I would like to ask anyone who cares to give their opinion two questions. 1. Can you read the text over the blue BG? 2. Would these menu's be useable in a a WB? This is an Unskinned menu but the skinned menus are same color combo A simple yes or no would be preferred please. <img src="http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/7098/untitled1k
