RIP_2007 Suite
Thursday, September 29, 2022 by Interceptor_One | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I still have the WindowBlinds Skin RIP 2007 (it DOES work on Windows 10 & 11 using WindowBlinds 10 & 11) from the Suite found here:
https://www.wincustomize.com/article/165766
I LOVE this Skin for Halloween, in particular the Animated Start Menu, but it looks like there are some bits out of place.
Would there be any chance Mike Bryant/Stardock could update this Skin for Windows 10/11?
I'd buy it again if I had to...

I've been using this skin for years on Win 10. Everything works for me.

Mike has not been active here for a long time so an update on that skin is not likely .
Pity, best Halloween skin ever.
Could Stardock not get permission for someone else to update it?

Mike is no longer skinning and is busy with his music career. I keep up with him on Facebook.

I'm pretty sure I made that skin for Stardock and they would need to give permission to update it. It would be fine with me though. Unfortunately, I no longer have any of the files.

Would the files needed to update it not simply already be in the Skin Package?

The flat files would be in the skin package. I just don't have any of the original Photoshop files anymore, which would be a helpful resource for creating any new parts.

As I said before, I can't Skin, but I'd be willing to do a Start Menu Button to throw in the package.

Any chance of getting this skin back? I bought it and lost it. Since Mike is not deveolping anymore, is there a WBA of this or can I install theme manager and still install this great hallpween theme?
Please help...

Well then STARDOCK, how about sharing this theme! I paid for it and now its gone. And how do I download the latest theme manager? My 2007 versions says I don't have Windowblinds installed and I do.

Theme manager was supported by Winndows 7, 8 and 8.1 none of which are supported any longer by Microsoft.

Thanks,
Stardock kept referring it was part of Objectdoc package but I didn't see it.
And its too bad on an old theme such as RIP 2007 or 2008 and somebody posted they had it working with windows10 which I'm still running can't offer up how they did it or provide that file I must be missing.
I have the suite version RIP 2007, but my older version theme manager 2007 doesn't recongize I have Window blinds already installed.
So it doesn't work.

If you have .exe file, it is "decompressable" with winzip to get Windowblinds file, wba, insides the package.

Well if it doesn't beat all, I only have the suite version and it doesn't think window blinds is installed.

Just renamed file extension to .zip to get .wba inside the package. In this way, it doesn't require theme manager, but get all files insides, such as wallpapers, icons, clock and weather gadgets.

Your a pretty smart guy. So I did and my suite is missing the .wba file.
Strange, everything else is there.
So after renaming to RIP 2007.ZIP, I tried installing the new theme renamed and IT WORKED!! Its not perfect but the little ghost runs across the screen now.
Sorry for being so obstinate about this, it just bugged me a lot.
