Looking for a skin (blue/beige rounded)
Monday, September 27, 2004 by geekboy2000 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I recall having and really liking this skin a few years ago, but of course I can't find it now. I think what stood out most about it was that it was relatively simple, shades of beinge and blue (I believe), but it had the best rounded/beveled look I can remember ever seeing. I think it *may* have been a Dawn Simon skin, but a search didn't find it. I'm not sure if it was ever XP compatible, but any thoughts, recollections would be appreciated.

A very good call indeed, but alas, that wasn't it (grabbed it anyway though, as Paean is terrific!). The colors were similar, the rounding, about the same, but I recall the min, restore, max buttons to be standard. I'll keep hunting, but Chris, that was a very good/close call!

"Clouds", "Cloudless", and "Atmosphere" compound by gillon, are it - I'm 90% sure. Great skins that I remember using regularly, but I still seem to think there was something very similar that was a combination of the blue/beige thing.

Sounds like an "Aleksyander" skin to me....... he did skins in that style, might be worth a search.

Once installed, the author info reveals Dawn Simon on gillon's skins. They are *very* nice. Thanks for the recommendation to search Aleksyander's skins. I'm off to do that. Some of the older stuff sometimes get forgotten, but many of them are great, and still work quite well.

The correct spelling is "Aleksyandr". That may save some frustration.

Yes, thanks. There's still on elusvive skin out there, but I'll find it. I'm not sure if it'll be easier to search here, the web, or my own only semi-indexed archive. But I'm determined!
