Monday, August 18, 2014 by dsbig123 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I having trouble finding windows 8 skin for windows 7.
most of ones I seen are skin packs which involve system files. dont want to have to go through that.
has anyone seen a windows 8 skin for windowblinds. not the one that comes with windowblinds. I want the solid color skin.

Thanks benmanns for trying and for letting us know. You effort was very kind and appreciated. Not sure who is not giving you permission, but I am sure they have a reason.

Sorry again...
Dont get me wrong but im pretty pissed by that E-Mail myself, it is not that im incapable of make the skin, but this is how I look like in this topic now.
"For personal use we do not mind if you use it. Any other use is prohibited."
Basically there is no reason to decline the request...
It is not any different than using Diamond and in the end IM NOT MAKING PROFIT it contributes to the skins section for Stardock products.
Im thinking about just throwing everything into Diamond.
But after this weekend because im celebrating.

benmanns - on the surface there doesn't appear to any consistency. When Vista and Win 7 were released, there were multiple offerings to transform XP to a Vista/Win 7 lookalike. There are offerings now to make Win 7 look like a MacOS or a Linux system. It's seems odd that your attempt to make Win 7 into a Win 8 lookalike was rejected. Perhaps there are some unstated legal issues?
It's been quite awhile since I used any downloaded skins. People pour their heart and soul into their work and while it is great stuff to look at, I find the very dark skins with lots of frilly art art work hard to use on a daily basis. I was hoping for some additional minimal options like the ones you proposed.
Anyway, thanks again. Sorry that your request was rejected. I can tell that you worked hard on this and I'm sure the rejection feels disappointing.

Diamond is the default skin in SkinStudio. Win8 is a skin that was designed for WindowBlinds, so that is why it cannot be modified and distributed.

Mhh ok...i understand that, the confusing thing to me is that i got a "should be no problem" from live support first.
I sended a mail just to be sure.
I will start over some time next week then i guess.
