Venom for WB - Released

come to the darkside...

Tuesday, April 27, 2010 by vStyler | Discussion: New Releases

I wanted to make a red and black theme that took advantage of the dramatic contrasts that this color combo can achieve.

It's been described many ways by folks as I have been building it... devilish, menacing, provocative, wikked, luminescent, masterpiece, fierce, ''pushing the envelopes''  However you may feel about it after loading it up I truly hope that enjoy the experience. It has been a challenging and time consuming theme to construct.

All matching skins will be loaded soon on Wincustomize.com, and there are a bunch, and lastly as I have mentioned before all truly dark skins will have a couple of areas here and there that can cause problems, mostly in MS Office, I have included a light version for each OS. There is also a winflag Start button alternative included in the zip that can be dropped in the WB folder.

Please leave your thoughts on this theme, thanks and Enjoy VENOM!

Hmm......I tried reinstalling and rolling back windowblinds, and I still get the same thing. I also learned it's not just firefox.......all of the window frames are glitchy when I click the desktop. I believe you when you say it's not the skin, it's just kind of frustrating and unfortunate. Oh well.

Really odd, I know at least 30 folks + have the blind and no other issues, Have you tried redownloading the WB from Maxstyles?

Perhaps a corrupt download? and.. is it the same with all re-coloring settings reset?

Yeah it's the same with all the re-coloring settings, and all the default settings for that matter. Don't feel bad that I'm having problems, it's okay. I'll try re-downloading and see what happens.

Ah, well I tried downloading again, and I ended up with the same thing. I have no idea what's causing this.........maybe I'll trying reinstalling my OS? I don't know. Either way, I still love this skin, and you did a great job on it.

 THE WAIT IS OVER

 

I'm using it now on Windows 7, I must say it is the prettiest thing I've ever seen. Work flowlessly with all my application, even those programs I once hated now look awesome. This thing is unbelievable. I treat it rough and can't find any complain. It's like using the default window, but better looking.

I want to congratulate vStyler on a superb job well executed. This is magically wonderful

Things like this makes us all feel special.

 

I guess i'll say THANK YOU for your gift.

 

Thank you on behalf of the whole community

For what it's worth, I formatted my hard drive, reinstalled windows 7, and reinstalled windowblinds and I still have the same problem. I've tried updating drivers. It works fine on Vista (I'm dual booting). Oh by the way, it turns out that the window frame is messed up on every application I use, it's only normal in windows explorer frames. I think I just have bad luck.

In Vista it does, yes, Vista doesn't support coloration of the left navigation pane. in Vista, I hide that pane.

The Screen shot is Venom 7, which does support it.

 

I think I just have bad luck.

If only one more person was seeing this I might be able to form some kind of solution for you g3mpi3....

post your system info here and I will send Neil the blind to check out. We'll get to the bottom of your particular situation yet

 

...no really

There is also a winflag Start button alternative included in the zip that can be dropped in the WB folder.

 

Is it possible to make the Winflag a bit bigger ?? (I'm using Win7)
