Did You Know? Find WindowBlinds 6 and Vista Ready Skins
Fun with filters
Monday, October 8, 2007 by Zoomba | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Last week, Stardock released WindowBlinds 6. In addition, there's the impending release of SkinStudio 6. So there are a lot of changes happening in the world of Windows skinning. WindowBlinds and Windows Vista are opening doors to new skinning possibilities. In fact, we have skinners now specifically targeting the new capabilities of WindowBlinds 6 and Windows Vista when creating skins. Unfortunately, until now there wasn't an easy way to find those skins.
Skinners who have uploaded WindowBlinds skins in the last week or so probably noticed that there are some new options at the bottom of the upload form:
Checking the 'WindowBlinds 6 only' or 'Vista Skin' options results in one or both of the following badges being added to a skin's detailed view:
Which is all well and good if you're clicking on each skin individually, but what if you want to quickly find all skins that have WindowBlinds 6, or Windows Vista features (or both)? Today, we've added a new filter to the WindowBlinds gallery so you can do just that. You can filter by WindowBlinds 6 Ready or Windows Vista Ready (or both). To make things even easier, we've added the filter links to the top of all WindowBlinds pages:
We hope this makes it easier for everyone to find exactly what they're looking for in the WindowBlinds gallery.

Just click on "WindowBlinds" in the description box.
I'm adding a "remove filter" link, it'll show up in about 5-10min

I know that you can color many skins, and I know that it would require (or maybe just encourage) authors to label their skin colors, and that it would require some programming of the back-end for Stardock, but since features were being suggested, I just thought I'd chip in my nickel.

As an 'old boy' my eyes are definitely not as good as they were .. and even with my specs on they look sort of blurred ...Especially the wording ..
I am sure a lot of other short sighted people might feel the same ...
