Skin called Aura?
Sunday, January 13, 2008 by cordelia0507 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I used and loved a skin called Aura or some deviation of this. Now I want to install it on my new (Vista upgraded) machine. But I cannot find it! This was a brushed metal skin with transparent borders. A bit similar to the Dogma skin. Do you know where I can find it again?

Oh that explains it! Thank you!
Any idea if I can use this skin in WB 6 - if so, how?

I'm sure you can use it in WB6 ... finding a copy will be the trick.

I uninstalled 6, reinstalled 5 - then rezipped the skin(s) I wanted into .wba(s)- then uninstalled 5, put 6 back - then reapplied the skin - works

Hello Snowman are you there? Can you help??
I sure am, and I sure can, but.....
Though I have the skin I cannot send it to you. It's copyrighted to Mike Bryant (MikeB314).
What you can do is contact him and ask him if he's got a copy of it.
He's a good man, and I bet he'll send it to you.
You can email him from here: http://mikeb314.wincustomize.com/

Hopefully Mike can upload it to WC so everyone can get it.

He'd first need to make it Vista compatible

That's weird...I upgraded to WB 6 and I still have Aura in my skins library!

According to this article, Aura came with WindowBlinds 5. Unfortunately, installing Windowblinds 6 deletes all the skins that come with WB5 and apparently they aren't in the library either.

Weirder still: Upgraded and lost aura, but didn't lose arrow or kol's vista. Go figure.

Seldomseen:
I believe that's because Arrow and Kols skin aren't part of the WB installation.

OTT - What can't the Stardock skins that are lost on upgrades, get added to the library by Stardock since they are the author of those skins.
