Reply to Just Wondering in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

I just thought you were wanting to talk to the skinners, so I wasn't going to intrude. Sure, I like Steampunk skins, I have almost all of them that have been done. Also like other antique-type skins. A post in another thread prompted me to re-install the Dragon skin, which I had cycled out as I do - the pile gets too big. Always liked that one too. A dragon/Steampunk could be cool. Maybe brassy/coppery with scales and armor and such.

I usually end up with one there that I like and it stays for a couple of months. I do change them every once in awhile though. It's a good place for wallpapers that I like but really don't want to constantly have in front of me.

Reply to WindowBlinds 10.8.9.0 Beta Issue Report Thread in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

The exclusion surprise in Reply 42 seems to have been the result of WB now sharing the exclusions between logons. Don't know if that was intentional (or even for sure that it's totally new), but it does seem to be what it's doing now. I'm ok with it either way.

Reply to WindowBlinds 10.8.9.0 Beta Issue Report Thread in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

fwiw- I uninstall old, reboot, install new, reboot. Afterwards I noticed my Chrome links (with the -disable... switch) weren't getting Chrome skinned. My WB setting "Allow WB to skin Chrome..." was still enabled, but I looked at the Per application exclusions and the Chrome exclusions were there. Don't know for sure that I had deleted them on the previous version (Chrome was getting skinned). Anyway I deleted them and Chrome skins. <img src="https://cdn

Reply to Any way to get WindowBlinds to respect Windows 10's dark mode? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

No, all of those areas are required to be defined within the WB skin. If you want to fundamentally run in Win10 dark mode, you may very well be interested in Curtains, it does exactly that - uses Win10 dark or light mode: https://www.stardock.com/products/curtains/ You can have both WindowBlinds and Curtains installed at the same time, you don't need to pick one or the other. You can of course only have a th

I would guess that you were changing that color in WindowBlinds by changing a system color? Curtains has no provision for changing system colors. The good part is that it avoids the color mismatching and illegible text you mentioned.

Reply to Curve the edges of explorer in Curtains WinCustomize Forums

If you just want rounded corners on the top title bar you can do that by making the titlebar image with rounded corners (transparent around the corners) and checking the "Replace default frames" box here: If you want the rounded corners on the bottom, you'll probably need to use the "Shadows" images for it. You can see how he did that on this s

I've done a simulation of what I think he's wanting to do - pack the buttons more closely together as opposed to just changing edge transparency around the image. Pretty sure you can't do it in Curtains (not sure you can still do it in WB on Win10?). Something like this:
