I'm not sure if that is for Vista, I cant try it, I dont have Vista
Hope that helps

Let's see....$60/hr for design services and a minimum of 40 hours to get a basic Windowblind together.......OK, I could probably get going for $2,400.00 up front

May be cheaper to buy a Mac

How much is a fully Vistafied OSX clone worth to you is the question?

The cold hard light of day tends to put a dampener on it all....but that's probably not too far off 'the money'.

Genuine commercial enterprises [commissions] can put a sizeable hole in your bank manager's 'bon homme' ['scuse the French....probably wobbly]...

im a childcare worker...so considering my wage, probably at least AU$100

Looks good on Vista for me.

 

That has to be the ugliest Vista shot I've ever seen. YOU NEED SHADOWS.

Hmmm.....maybe you haven't looked hard enough.  


Anyways, here is a couple of shots I just put together as that one is quite outdated as was pointed out.  The first shot is just WindowBlinds on Vista with a "Leopard" skin and ObjectDock at the bottom.  The second shot is using a Mac Objectbar theme as well.

 

oh ok, that looks mad as...

i guess my problem has been windowsblinds from the start ay...what it does is whenever i select ANY custom skin, it reverts the appearance back to the windowss classic look...how am i able to get it to APPLY the skins PROPERLY??

I am using Windowsblinds 5.5 enhanced

Well, as much as I understand how hard money is to come by these days a hundred dollars might buy you a start menu and taskbar from any competent professional artist.

What you may try is finding the closest to what you want in a Mac theme and asking someone to alter it \ vistafy it for you.

Making a quality wb in most cases is weeks of work, Perhaps you could pick up a copy of Skinstudio, take your time and adjust the areas u want modified..bit by bit at your own leisure.

Is this the purchased version?  If so you should first make sure you have the latest update by using Stardock Central.  It would also help to post your WB system information from the configuration screen.

@ Island Dog: Bah, they didnt show any shadows on your first shot. Besides I only see the normal variant there, wheres finder?

FinalCause -

Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on View my system information.  Copy/paste that info here.

Where did you obtain this copy of WindowBlinds? You should have better results if you remove this copy, reboot and install either the 'trial' version or purchase the full version at - https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/

You neglected to mention running a virus scan, malware & spyware scans, trojan scans......etc.

You didn't REALLY think it was free with no strings (or bugs) attached did you?

im here clarice

I've been looking for a decent OSX skin for WB 5.5 (Vista) with no luck...

I'm using one of those XP skins which Ermmm... well they aren't too bad...

Hope someone releases an OSX skin for Vista soon...

By the way Windows Blinds 5.5 is a little buggy under Vista... Every time after rebooting my PC it shuts down (DWM) so I have to unload Windows Blinds, Enable Aero again and reload Windows Blinds... Kind of a little frustrating but I have already paid for my copy... Hope to get WB6.0 update when it comes out...

One problem! I hate Mac to begin with ... Plus my time is very tight with things I have to do here and at work.
But I would suggest that you upgrade to the newest WB release and install Skin Studio to do your own work. But using Skin studio with Vista is not for any beginner at all. Just getting the program to work or run correctly with Vista will take some tweaks.
If you will give me a link to a skin you want to work with Vista. I'll take a look at it and see if it will work. That and work out the changes for Vista compatiblity.
I do not charge anyone for my work. I get paid very well at the position I have already.
So if I can find sometime and the skin is compatibile. I'll see what can be done so it will be what you want in a Vista WB skin.
