Windows 7 Themes

from JoeUser Forums

Windows has come a long way in the GUI department, but it is still limited, and it’s hard to fully express your personal taste with the default themes in Windows.  Windows 7 offers way more choices than it's predecessors, but if you want more than changing colors you are going to have to look beyond the default themes.  In comes WindowBlinds 7.

WB7 is still in beta at this time, but it already supports Windows 7, and there are skinners out there who are already creating new themes, or updating previous themes/skins to support Windows 7.  We will be showing off some of the cool features of WB7 in the coming weeks, but I wanted to show some themes I’m currently using on Windows 7.

The first theme is Leo, which can be found included with WindowBlinds, and the second is Carbon Fibre GTV which can be found in the WinCustomize gallery.

Not to be a spoil sport but the windows button on the carbon skin is a little flat, could do with more 3dness to it. But they sure do look purdy *checks his bank account*

Even regular Vista WBs work pretty well with 7.

bmetelsky: Are there any particular ones you are having problems with?

Alignment issues on a few that were not revised for W7. Nothing major. Some just don't look right in W7 because of the taskbar size. I know I could change the size of the taskbar, but like the default width.

True. I thought you meant he was using the leaked RTM with the leaked key seeing that it's all over the Tech News. :)

+1 for this -- as I don't see a way to "filter" just for Windows 7 compliant WB skins when doing searches.

A filter was added when Vista came along so I am going to guess that a Win 7 filter might be added in the update to the WinCustomize site.

I'm going to see how much work it is to add it to the current site, if not, then obviously the new site will be set.
