Skinning of Stardock software

Is it possible to make WindowBlinds work on Object Desktop Software

Is it possible to enable WindowBlinds themes in Object Desktop apps? It seems strange that these themes don't take effect in WindowBlinds own settings window, or in any other Object Desktop software.

If this isn't a current feature I would like to suggest it be added in future builds, but I haven't been able to locate any feedback or suggestion pages to do so.

Cheers

Each "app" is skinned individually, For instance a Cursor won't look like the Windowblinds skin, but looks like the skin you applied for that. This gives people the option to mix & match to their own liking.

-Often there are matching skins to download for those who want.  :cylon:

ThemeManager used to work like that. Sadly, it has fallen by the wayside and no longer gets the attention it deserves.

I'm using theme manager for WB, IP and the wallpaper.  Works great with only those three items :-)

Back in the day, ThemeManager would load CursorXP skins, DesktopX skins, WindowBlinds skins, etc. Whatever the TM Suite contained.

I remember those days. There were some awesome suites back then.

Thanks for the info. Ideally I'd like to reskin spacemonger. I'm setting up for low light conditions and would prefer the text was light and background of the window was dark. Is this at all possible?

DX works fine on 10. All you gotta do is disable UAC, which should be disabled anyway. First thing I do on a fresh install. UAC is useless.

A word of caution here... If you are in a domain and you disable UAC via Group Policy, you will not be able to use any of the native Microsoft Apps (photo viewer, calculator, Edge, etc).

If you do it the normal way you will be fine.
