Original XP theme windowblinds
Wednesday, March 26, 2008 by bartthman | Discussion: Skinning
Hello, Im using windows vista and I hate the themes that follows... So I decided to use WindowBlinds to cover a new theme. Acutally I want the "Luna" theme from Windows XP. I have searched on this site for themes but the closest skin i can find is "Windows XP Style" by MessiahVWVKD and as far as I can see it's not a real copy... So please Is there a soul out there who has a theme like this or a soul who is able to create one? I would be very thankful!

Well, the Classic theme that comes with WB didn't look like XP in any way...
And this is the theme im currently using :
https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=2776&libid=1
Looks almost the same as Luna but theres one small problem, the "s" at the start button should be big, I mean: Start, not start. Is it possible for me to solve this problem with the 's' char?

You can change it easily with any graphics program. Just browse to the folder of the WindowBlind you are using and look for an image called start_button.bmp (or a similar name). Open the image in your graphics program and change the text. The start button image is made up of five image states, so you will have to change all of them. Once you have made the changes to the image re-apply the skin in WB.
