Blinds you'd like to see updated with more modern features
Post any requests/permissions/etc here
Sunday, January 21, 2007 by TheD2JBug | Discussion: Skinning
Hello I was reading the Heavy Equipment thread and I had a thought.
How about having a single thread where you can request updates to some of the old school bllinds or ask permission if you have updates available?
I know for myself I lack skills but I wouldn't mind to see an update to this awesome blind by SkinStudio.

A blind I would really like to see updated is Tronnix by Mike B. I've always loved that one.

DMX-Tweak-R2 by Jay is one of my all time favs (works well in Vista BTW) and is one of the older skin that'd look great with some of the newer features of WB5.

how about all of the "dinks" versions by greyhaze, he created those wb's years ago and the overall design & the gui elements he created for those themes are still comparable/if not even better than alot of the wb's being released nowadays. Unfortunately if you try to apply them in a winxp environment you end up getting alot of system errors, they were probably created for early versions of wb (v3 or 4) for a win3x/win9x environment. I'd love to see him to update those wb's and make them work in a winxp/wb5 environment.
Check them out, they're still in the wb gallery: look at the design of the windowframe elements, the min/max/close buttons & other windowframe buttons , the scrollbar thumb buttons, push buttons, etc - all of these items are quite excellent.
I wonder what greyhaze is up to these days, I don't see any recent work being submitted by him.

Yeah, add MetalX also 
I think it is the plugins causing problems nowadays though.

c242 - you have great taste!
- MetalX is awesome, I can't believe I didn't mention it.
Greyhaze added tons of custom buttons to his wb's, something that isn't being done alot with most of the newer skins that have been released lately.
He had buttons on the windowframes for activating winamp, opening up some custom wb menu for adding shortcuts, rollup/down window commands among many other features (shortcut to the desktop, etc.)
His stuff is great, I'd love to see it updated to support the newer wb5 features.

Here's an idea...it may be too complicated to achieve, I dunno....
A contest where maybe 5 to 10 skins are made available for update (you'd need permissions) and it would be open to anyone who has NOT made or submitted a WB.
My thought on this is that some folks can't make a skin from scratch, but know enough to tweak and such.
Possible?

Any/all of essorant's early skins (some of which he's already updated).
Any/all of Mike Bryant's early stuff, especially Grayce & ProjectX.
Crystallized by honz.
Jafo's BlindJafo series.
That would be a good start.
