vista compatible windowblinds?
Sunday, July 29, 2007 by xDeVsFaN1830x | Discussion: OS Customization
I think this site needs to have some kind of indication of which new windowblinds are made or have special substyles for windows vista. I know vista users are a minority but we still deserve some love. and i know some will say most skins work fine but they really dont. Theres a difference between a skin tailored to vista and one that is simply forced to work with it.

I was for this too, but after thinking a bit there really arent many Vista "compatible" skins yet..perhaps as SKS6 and WB6 are implemented a seperation from XP may be a wise move.

Yes there are differences in Vista and XP for sure. In doing this Vista blind there are different areas (as far as graphics) that show for Vista and not XP. Waiting on SKS and WB6 for their implementation, sooo, in short, even if the bind says Vista it will still be lacking in some respects.

as far as I knew, most blinds *though not ALL* are Vista compatabile.. even if its an XP theme..
I have downloaded lots of themes and really have had very little issue with compatability...
BUT honestly I do make sure my WB program itself is updated and Vista compatabile so...

The majority of skins I download are not compatible, problems with the start menu etc. I too would like a tag of some sort to say if it works/has been tested on Vista.
Same goes for Iconpackager, unfortunately a lot do not seem to change all of the Vista icons and they revert back to standard

I dunno about you but when i run an iconpackage and i find it is not fully Vista friendly and i try n revert back, a whole bunch of my icons come up as missing (ya know that look of an icon when the art isnt specified) and the only way I can fix it is with a reinstall of Vista. Ive not installed IconPackager in a long time because it fails to give me back my default icons properly.
