WB for Vista - compatible skins list?
Tuesday, May 15, 2007 by blackout77 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I have been searching for skins that looks ok in Vista, and have not been very successful.
Please, if you know a good WB skin that works well in Vista, please reply here.
If there is a list of such WBs, please post.
Thanks!

Many skins won't even load in Vista. This may be a result of my setup, even though I have a new machine with an OEM Vista. When skins aren't combatible with my setup, they resort to a sort of Windows Classic look with altered colours. It should be noted this happens with Essorance's Nuage Redux, even though it has Vista-specific sub-skins.
Now that I think about it, no skins downloaded from WinCustomize works. It may be a problem related to installing the skins in Vista - does anyone have any experience with this?

Figured it out - should have realized long ago that it was a problem with access to the WB directory. Made sure it was accessible from my account, and skins install smoothly now.
Yeah, even most of the old skins look surprisingly good - will have to look for some of my old favourites and see if they display properly.
Thanks anyway.

Most good skins look good in both XP and Vista.
