Please guys allow us to theme this app as well. I can't stand the stinking bright white background. Thanks.

Window Blinds. Or you can just offer a dark theme for this app it would be much appreciated. Most of the users are trying to get AWAY from bright white backgrounds. Thanks.

Most users prefer white background, only 1% users prefer black background.

Yes same here.  In a recent survey 75% of our software users preferred dark theme and it is VERY trendy.

Speaking of sales can I sell a dark theme that is a revision of an existing Windows Blinds provided theme HIGHLY improved with the colors and graphics changed?

You would need full permission from the original skins author to do that anywhere on the Internet.  Also, you cannot sell on WinCustomize unless you are at the Master Skinner level.

I tried to message the creator https://www.deviantart.com/danioc but no reply and he seems inactive for years. My design would be a big benefit for your Window Blinds software so I'd like to sell it to your users.

Dani is active, some of his design can be seen in Curtains. Not sure why he does not respond to your request. https://www.wincustomize.com/users/20239/danioc

As for selling on Windowcustomize.com, yes, as what Tom (LightStar) mentioned, only Master Skinner level will be allow to sell their work.

Thank you,

Just curious, I installed 10.86 Beta on my laptop, all is fine, but how do you activate the Dark UI option Neil? I looked everywhere.

Yeah, I knew that, but there is nothing in that menu to set the background color of the UI.

Uninstall, REBOOT, reinstall.  Your config is still from 2019 for some reason.

Was the config window open when you updated and did you have a WB applied?

Reply #20 from WinCustomize Forums Top

Nope, config window closed after I went back Default theme before installing Neil.

All is fine now.
