Applying a non Win 7 WindowBlinds on a Win 7 system

Saturday, November 21, 2009 by Philly0381 | Discussion: OS Customization

With the recent updates to WindowBlinds to be compatible with Win 7 I find that I may just be a little confused.  If you find a non Win 7 WindowBlind that you like will that skin work correctly and properly if you download and apply it?

It should work fine.

Okay, so now I'm off to find more WB Themes to make Theme Manager Suites with. 

How come no one said anything about this before?

I use many "Vista" blinds and they all work fine. I just assumed everyine knew. All I had to do was try. So I was able to keep my older blinds. Example: the new "Tiki" blind. Looks great on Win 7.

Some work great, some don't - even quite a few xp skins work. I just finished copying over my skins from my old xp laptop. Just delete the ones that don't work.

Philly-here's a link to Frogboy's "WindowBlinds 7- A Guided Tour", where one of the features listed is, "Auto-conversion of Windows XP era skins to Windows Vista or Windows 7".
