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!

Killasauce - not sure whats going on with that, it seems recent versions of WB are borking diff things on different systems, I'm almost at my wits end with it all, If you havent updated today, recently, I would suggest it. If you have, might try rolling back. I can't really vouch for using it at anything other than default settings as well, lord knows what WB is doing when folks are trying to customize with WBconfig.

i bought at your site so i can't update....can you update the file at maxstyles?

Hi again, I think I found the culprit.
I was using this little mod called ezgdi. It renders the windows fonts on 64 bit machines smoother like Mac OS X.
This mod is sill experimental so It does carry some warnings. But never had it conflict with any apps on my system before.
Other Windowblinds skins do not give me this conflict,
But I'm guessing Venom is different because alot of the fonts are white instead of the default.
When I uninstalled ezgdi, I have not experienced this anymore.
I will live without it since the fonts are pretty bold and smooth in this skin anyhow.
Thanks for the help tho. And again awesome job with this skin. Definitely my new top favorite!
P.S. I'm new to messing with the colors of skins. Is there a better way of getting light greys or other neutral colors?
As of now I just bring the saturation down all the way. Is there a better way with more options? Thanks!

when using Venom or Svelte, i have the following problem with any office 2010 app (yes, it is the rtm of office2010): in order to minimize the app, i have to position the cursor at the very top of the minimize button. it's so close to the edge, the cursor changes to the 'resize' state.
positioning the cursor anywhere else on the minimize button doesn't work. i've tried a few other skins for Win 7 and haven't experienced this issue with those. any ideas, john?
Venom doesn't look bad in Colts blue, either.

Should be getting Office 10 soon Pas, will have a look and get back with you 
Special Key, I meant update Windowblinds not the WB. Although you can also update the WB on Maxstyles as well, I have updated it.
Killasauce, glad you found the culprit, as far as making a skin greyscale all i know that is possible is removing the color and changing the lightness\darkness.
Thanks Storm!
