Good Old days
Friday, January 23, 2015 by WOM | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I remember in the old days(Good Old) you had skinners making minimalistic, thin border window blinds with a roll up button. Damn few skinners put the roll up button anymore and it seems thin borders are out. One reason most of my blinds are old.

Ok Dave, duck, here comes the bulldozer and the trout for extra ammo. Five minutes, hum, I gave this one extra time as it normally only takes me a minute.

Thanks starkers, that made sense (I think?????).
Of course it did!
And fish tasted better in the good old days cos there was waaaay less pollution.
Unlike the fish of today, tt only had one flavour back then... that of fish, funnily enough.. And the chips weren't bad, either.
Hmm, reminds me of my teenage years back in the 60's... my mates and I would each take 2 bobs worth of fish n' chips wrapped in newspaper into the flicks with us on a Saturday night. Now cinemas wouldn't allow that to happen in this day n' age.
Nope, they'd wanna sell you a quarter as many chips for 500% more... and NO damned fish..

Ditto on the kipper starkers. I also learned something, they are for slapping and not eating. Boy was I ever in the dark about trout.

Ooooh, Redneck, I hope your ex doesn't read this forum post or you might be double ex'd.

To wander dangerously close to the OP, I'm a big fan of thin (as in single pixel) frames myself. Both of my published skins have 1-2 pixel frames. They are now nearly 7 years old (hard to believe) and I would update them had skinning for Win7 & up not become so much more complex and time-consuming. On the off chance someone would like to update Granular (the more popular of the two) for publication, I'd be glad to grant permission on request. Of course, it's freely modifiable for personal use anyway.

Well, after deeply pondering for about 5 minutes, I have come to the conclusion that maybe it's time for a fishy windowblind to give everyone something to chew on as I can't seem to find the fish. Age, well, haven't quite come up for a solution on that one, guess it will just have to pass me by. I'm beginning to think this place is the twilight zone anyway where no one sleeps.
