Themes and Windows?

Sunday, August 26, 2007 by Anton76 | Discussion: Skinning

First of all, are skins/themes separate from windows and browsers? I am using the Vista Style theme for XP (https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=3623&libid=31) and I like the theme and all, but the windows and browsers are still silver (from when I didnt use any themes) and the taskbar at the bottom just doesnt match the titlebars of windows. Also, just asking, but is there another section that I may have missed on the site so I can get them to match? For those of you who dont know what im talking about, heres a pic... http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/8183/windowsci4.jpg.

Okay. The theme you downloaded is Vista-style by gef - very nice choice. It's a DesktopX theme and doesn't skin window frames. To skin window frames you also have to run Window Blinds and choose a complimentary blind theme. There's a large number of free ones you can try. How about this one? WWW Link
gef has said this is one of his favorite blinds. Give it a try.

Ive previously had WindowBlinds and my trial ran out... Im currently downloading it, but before I started downloading, I downloaded that Eminence frame and it said it installed it so I went to the Theme Manager and tried to use it, but it just made my frames the old square Windows theme. So I dunno if ill still be able to use WindowBlinds again and if using it on the new frame thing will make a difference.

EDIT: Cant use it anymore.

Okay then Anton76. Have you considered buying Object Desktop? It's a complete package and well worth the price.
