Very well done, looks exactly like the old classic theme to me. Keep'em coming! 
Comment #4 Tuesday, February 7, 2017 2:59 PM
I have an updated version here that I am testing out. A few tweeks here and there. I will update this once it passes my OCD.
....still don't really see the point

The point was I really liked the old classic 3D UI from WinNT upto WinME. You were able to enable it in all the Window OS's upto 7 (that I know of, never used 8.x). With Windows 10, Microsoft completely removed the ability to use this style of UI. I like it. I am sure I am not alone.
I was forced to upgrade to Win10 from Win7 during a stealth update from Microsoft. The 'metro' UI they are forcing on everyone looks like hell to me. I tried my hand at writting my own UI override in C/C++ but found it was easier to support and promote an existing solution: Stardock's WindowBlinds.
I'm old fashioned. I like my 95 UI. I use it here. I am somewhat happy using Windows 10 now.

This is great. I always preferred the clean, professional look of pre-XP Windows.
Most of the modern UIs looks like Fisher-Price toys with lots of unwanted superficial effects and clutter. For me the most important aspect of a UI is its ability to stay out of my way and let me work. Your theme is perfect for that.
Thank you for this one.

Love the old school look yet clean and modern at the same time.
The only issue I've noticed, and you may have already adressed in you're to-be-released update, is that the title bar looses the skin when maximized .. Win 10.
Again, awesome job.

I had the same issue as well. I thought maybe I didn't do something right. I'm glad it wasn't just me. Everything else works great with it.
Keep up the great work.

I am still polishing the theme. I will do another upload as soon as I iron out more issues. Thanks for the kind words. I will look into the Max Title Bar thingy as well.

An updated skin will be uploaded later this week as I test out the latest fixes as I learn the quirks of the skin editor..

Thanx for the update. It's shaping up pretty good so far.

Phenomenal first skin.
Seeing the max titlebar issue also.
Another thing, the Windows Explorer Back and Forward buttons are pretty chunky. Is that by design?

There might be a coding difference between how BMP and Targa are handled. Rounding of scan line lengths and what not. Who knows. I might just stick to Targa in SKS in the future.

This is the blind I've been looking for. Win 10 default skin looks like rubish. Thanks.

Finally! A reason to install windowblinds again. I was waiting months for a skin like this. I would have done it myself but I don't have those skills.
Thanks a lot for making this!
Comment #19 Friday, February 17, 2017 7:16 PM
Hooray! Just the kind of theme that i like!
Can't wait to see it updated aswell, using it and its amazingly well done!

awesome skin codewar65, but I'm having a problem; the taskbar doesn't seem to want to skin properly in windows 10. do you know of anything I might be able to do to make it work? I'd really like to be able to use this great skin you've made. Thanks!

This is my first attempt at creating a skin for WB. It works well here, your mileage may vary.
