The Most Popular WindowBlinds Skin of All Time!

from JoeUser Forums

Since we’re spending this month celebrating 15 years of skinning WindowBlinds, I wanted to find out what was the most popular download on WinCustomize.com.  From the best I can tell and confirm, Vista Plus Version 3 comes in with over 900,000 downloads since it was released in 2006.

Vista Plus Version 3 by adni18

It’s a little funny a Vista skin has been one of the most downloaded, but as some of you might remember the glassy look was really popular and many skinners created a bunch of skins with that look during that time.  This was a skin that was designed to be used on XP to get that look, and as with all of adni18’s skins, he did a remarkable job at creating this style.

Nikos's been around since Adam was a pup......he knows his stuff.

If there were a level beyond 'Master' he'd be on the short list....;)

This means that you are going to enjoy the foot a lot, because I drink Sambuca as digestive... ;)

Those were the good old days.  Adni has a couple in the top ten and holds the record for most downloads for windowblind skins.

Who says 3D plastic is passe?  Certainly not the 900K.

Nikos pays close attention to detail And it shows. And Plastiglass is still kool! He's a very prolific and gifted Imagineer. A toast of Ouzo to you Nikos for all the great work you have brought us!  :w00t: :thumbsup:

Most definately one of my favorites when I was still using a PC. A great skin - universally appealing, timeless and very usable.
