Does anyone know about the Desert Chrome theme?
Thursday, March 31, 2016 by Weboh | Discussion: Skinning
So, I use a program sometimes that has skinning capabilities. It has several built-in skins to with OSes, like Windows XP Ubuntu, etc. But one of themes—the "desert chrome" one—I can't find anywhere. Since its other themes are all based on actual themes you can have, it makes sense that this one would be too. Does anyone remember seeing this theme anywhere? Or would anyone be willing to make it for Windows 7?
Here's a link to the theme:

And here's a screenshot of how it looks:

Based on your thread last year asking about MuColors and an Alienware skin you like to live back in the xp days or expect to have xp skins work correctly on win7.
The link you provided above also goes back to 2005 and it seems that you didn't want to take anyone's advice. News flash this is 2016 Please understand that there are things we all have to let go and I believe programs you may have used in 2005 and before are no longer available.
I don't understand. By asking for help locating a theme, I'm ignoring people's advice about trying to use themes with Windows 7 that weren't designed for it? I believe it's a Linux theme or something anyway, which would mean it would definitely need work. I know it would! But it would be easier to try to make a theme myself or have someone else make it by having the original files. All I asked for was a link to the original theme.
I don't believe anyone here is going to spend many hours and try to make a skin that looks like that.
People spend hours making other skins. They might like the look of this one. Believe it or not, I've had people do this very thing on other forums. I'd let them speak for themselves.
You are on Windows 7. My goodness just purchase Stardock Windowblinds.
I plan on it! I love(d) WindowBlinds! I planned to get it last Christmas when it was on sale, but alas, it never went on sale.

Thanks, I didn't know that. 
See how much being condescending helps? For what it's worth, that program works on Windows 7, and was running on it when I took that screenshot.

Based on your thread last year asking about MuColors and an Alienware skin you like to live back in the xp days or expect to have xp skins work correctly on win7. Not going to happen. The link you provided above also goes back to 2005 and it seems that you didn't want to take anyone's advice. News flash this is 2016. On your other thread someone asked you if you used Windowblinds as there are plenty of skins available but you just let that go with no answer. I don't believe anyone here is going to spend many hours and try to make a skin that looks like that. If you did have someone make this skin does that mean you do use Windowblinds? It may be helpful to know that. After all you are asking if anyone would make a skin for you.
You are on Windows 7. My goodness just purchase Stardock Windowblinds. All kind of wonderful skins available for win7. Light, dark, in-between, take you pick. Another idea would be to purchase Windowblinds as it comes with skinstudio. Skinstudio is what you use to make a Windowblind after you make all the images and adjust them to work. That way you can make any skin you wish.
Please understand that there are things we all have to let go and I believe programs you may have used in 2005 and before are no longer available. In fact Stardock has been a wonderful company to keep skinning going forward. Without them the whole OS changing design would be gone. It's cool stuff so if you want to move on get Windowblinds.
