Good Luna (the new WinXP look) theme for Windowblinds 4?
Tuesday, April 15, 2003 by AceMarkE | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I've been waiting for Windowblinds 4 to come out, mostly because I get a bit tired of seeing the old dull gray look on my nice bright WinXP box. Unfortunately, there's a bit of a problem. I actually like the default WinXP skin. Yeah, the blue one called Luna with the blue scrollbars and shiny white buttons. Since Windows itself doesn't skin all programs with the new look but Windowblinds can, I've decided that my best bet for getting all my programs to share the blue look is to actually use a Luna skin.
That's where the problem comes in. There's no decent Luna skin out there. I've run across two mostly okay ones here on Wincustomize, but they both have a few problems, the biggest being that if I have a maximized program and move my cursor to the upper right corner, the close icon isn't highlighted, which kills years of muscle training. Some of the graphics are a bit off as well, and the taskbar gets changed.
So, here's my request: since I'm pretty lousy in the graphics department and don't have much free time, would any of you talented skinners be willing to put together a Windowblinds 4 skin that perfectly matches the Windows XP default look, but also skins non-compliant programs like MS Office, Open Office, and Visual Studio 6? I'd greatly appreciate it.

but have any of those (aside from your UIS1 port) been updated for WB4?
