Sorry Ryan, but I just don't see a good combination here. :no: i know, me neither, but i don't have any other choices since i don't have xp anymore to use msstyles or whatever other method we here used for skins.

Well all I can really recommend is too look through Deskmod and Deviantart for some WindowBlinds skins, and sort by the the # of downloads. You might find some good ones that way. ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/71280-new-to-this-section-of-the-boards/#findComment-752920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thornz0 Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 win me, thats a shame. Your going to miss out on many of the 'spiffy' xp features new to wb4, but should still be a huge improvement over the standard windows me window look. in anycase, welcome :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/71280-new-to-this-section-of-the-boards/#findComment-753035 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thornz0 Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 what is this "PixOS" or whatever and what does it do that would make me have to pay for it? its by some skin artists who make their living by designing skins. Theyve done stuff for many companies, among others including Nintendo and nvidia. Pixos is a skin suite that skins a good deal of popular applications Pixtudio Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/71280-new-to-this-section-of-the-boards/#findComment-753061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlliniPi Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 what is this "PixOS" or whatever and what does it do that would make me have to pay for it? From what I hear, you can download a "suite" of PixOS stuff and pretty much change your whole system look to look like this one theme. Here's a link to some stuff about it. clicky click Edit: what ^^ he said. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/71280-new-to-this-section-of-the-boards/#findComment-753067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ryan Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 so were they by any chance the ones who made that Super Mario Sunshine skin that was popular around here a while back?

thornz0 Posted April 9, 2003 Share Posted April 9, 2003 is that skin available for free download anywhere?hehe, well not really. Its a promotion thing they [NOE] were doing for buying certain Cube titles. It was a NOE thing only, and NOA customers got left out. Since I did buy the games, I justified it...still may not have been right. In anycase, I dont have them anymore, and Im not sure if the original threads survived neowins last crash n burn, you might look.i noticed when i soemtimes download windowsblinds skins, they are in a zip file.i just made a new folder for the necessary files in the skins directory of windowsblinds. how do i get the skin to work? if theyre in a zip file, just extract them to a folder of the same name under the windowblinds folder. *.wba files, which are how themes are usualyl packaged are just renamed zip files and are treated the same way Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/71280-new-to-this-section-of-the-boards/#findComment-753393 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinStudio Posted April 19, 2003 Share Posted April 19, 2003 try the second link in my sig :) It's hosts the biggest repository of WB skins. Sorting by rating or trying the top 10 authors may give interesting results (to aoid flames - not necessary the best :p ).

Guest Ryan Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 GamecubeSuperMarioSunshine :omg: How disturbing, I quoted myself. That would be a first. :blink: I just reinstalled WindowBlinds after a clean install of Windows2000 Professional (hopefully this would be wiser than WindowBlinds on WindowsMe) and am looking for these skins again. I found them once but do not remember where. :huh: :unsure: :shifty: Is someone willing to send them to me who would have them? :ninja: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/71280-new-to-this-section-of-the-boards/#findComment-866662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
