Even tho i am very new to all this:), i think WindowBlinds is awesome:D, but am shocked & > to find none that are Lime, and only ONE that is orange!!!!to me this is, discraceful!

It would make my day if any one could tell me where to get thse colours, any colours that are bright!!!

Cheers

Alas, most people don't like them. Since most people include most skinners, most skins are non-bright. For those few skinners who *do* like it, they have to fight against the urge to create non-bright skins because more people will download them.

Do bear in mind that good skins will often be colourizable - you can change the predominant colour to be whatever your want (*if* you have a registered version of WindowBlinds). Even skins that don't officially support this may be forced to via the WB control panel (although results may not be good as you would hope).

Aleksyandr made one pretty close to lime called Tempest. Search for it here.

Oh yeah, essorant made a totally green one, too. Forget the name of the skin, just search on his name.

What about the "Serene" or "BlueShade" skins? More bright than this ones?



Hehe, crae, I must admit that you have a style!

Two words: gamma correction. It's in WindowBlinds 3.1 That's how I brighten my skins.

Frogboy,

Is the version with gamma correction available yet in component manager? I've installed WB 3.1 beta from Comp Mgr and there doesn't seem to be a gamma correction option as in your screenshot.
