But that's because I know where the issues are and stay clear of them. If you have a car that break down when you hit 60mph, would you say "it's running without issues" just because all the roads you drive on has a 55mph limit?

[quote who="2of3" reply="25" id="2429953"] You chose to install a beta, and this is exactly the thing you may run into when doing so. I totally disagree. WB7 is beta. Not the skins included.

Hmmm, no. I don't think so... They're good, but really... it's not as if they are doing top notch skinning.... .... who am I kidding?... I'm totally with vStyler on this. I would think this is something that is on the promotion to-do already though. So the only thing this post is doing is boosting some great guys ego.

Reply to WindowBlinds skin formats: The right tool for the right job in Object Desktop blogs WinCustomize Forums

So, we have 3 levels of skinning to choose from: UIS0 - Limited skinning. UIS1 - Basic skinning. UIS2 - Advanced skinning. If you don't do your own skins, you don't even need to know this much... You can just browse screenshots and install whatever skin you like the look of. I don't see how that is confusing?
