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!


I may be incorrect in assuming that the taskbar and start menu are skinned by Start10. If you have it installed, check the settings in Start10. I had difficulty with this as well starting out. First, I didn't have Start10 (only WindowBlinds 10), and then when I did purchase it, I did not have it set correctly.

Everything has to be adjusted in SKS to work correctly.

Great job ....still don't really see the point

Some of us really love the classic Windows look and Microsoft completely stripped it out of Windows 10 so we're stuck with a rather flat, boring, undefined mess of an incomplete theme. So I appreciate codewar65 taking the time to work on something like this. Honestly not 100% what I'm looking for but it's pretty close and I can only hope that in the future more themes like this are released.

This a super neat idea! I really love the retro concept.

So realistic it's scary!  Too bad blinds can't be applied standalone, it would be fun to change a cow-rker's machine when they are away from their desk.

One thing I happened to notice while using Winrar (and other programs that have toolbar seperators) is that vertical seperators have a strange appearance on the toolbar near the top of the window.


Thank you for pointing that out! I will correct and upload update next week (I don't want to flood the website with perpetual updates).

A couple issues:  The buttons do not push down correctly (the text or caption icons do not sink down with the button) and dialog buttons do not highlight correctly.

The taskbar background is the wrong color, and the taskbar is too tall in Windows 10 with small icons (this may be a bug in WindowBlinds 10.60).

I would suggest creating a virtual machine of Windows 2000 and working from that.

There are many subtle differences on how WB 10.5x and WB 10.6 render a blind (on Win10 afaik). I am aware of minor defects with this Blind, but waiting for any updates to WB 10.6 before updating my blinds again.

Thanks for the heads up.

Great theme, I only have one problem.

 

The shutdown button does not show for me on the Start menu, I use latest version of Start10 but its not there.

 

Any Ideas how to fix this?

You may not have used Windows 8.x, but it also didn't allow classic mode.  Windows 8.0 was when mandatory DWM was introduced, thus ending support for the Classic theme.
