WB looks great- how do you get icons?

Thursday, February 23, 2006 by leafdesigner | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Those who have been following the discussions here might remember me as the reluctant WB user. Well, I took the plunge and bought the full-blown version. (The scroll-bars in the trial version were murder to see!) Well, so far the "real" WB 5 works great. I was wondering- how do you get all those nifty-looking icons that I've seen when viewing the various skins on the screenshots? I suppose I need some other component of Desktop X?

If you are talking about the icons in the WindowBlinds you will need the IconPackager program and download the icon packages that either come with the blind or are available on Wincustomize. There is a shareware version available at the link below. It may be worth your while to also check out ObjectDesktop package.

Hmm...I tried the link to the shareware and I got the right page, but the "download" icon wouldn't work. So I right-clicked it and the "open" command was grayed out. Perhaps Stardock's having some technical difficulties? Anyway, is this shareware one of those limited time things like the trial version of WB?
