WindowBlinds Skins I’d Like to See Updated for Windows 7

I was looking through some of the older skins today, and saw so many that I would love to see updated for Windows 7 and WindowBlinds 7.

Wasn't there once a rumor that Stardock bought the rights to it from Pixtudio along with all the others?

And there is the problem. Updates to once great suites are not too high on Stardocks priority list, I fear.

Instead of that the hired skinners are damned to mass produce sports and university skins for the rest of their lives (is my impression sometimes). [The last one was over the top on purpose.] ;)

Stardock doesn't own the rights of PixOS, Stardock and Pixtudio are sharing rights on Universe Metal and Logika only, which means Stardock and Pixtudio is allowed to sell the suites and their own update/modifications at the time the contract was signed. So technically you could see Universe Metal update completely different from Stardock and Pixtudio.

Yes and no...

Alexandrie = I-Umami (see reply #27) = The former Pixtudio.

So many! I would love to see true Win 7 udates for a ton of V's skins, like Vienna (all, but Rapture if only one could be done), K R O M E, V O X, Harmony, Havana, and on and on... Also would love to see Dogma X updated as well as as many JosephS skins and JJ Ying skins as possible. The list just never ends really. :grin:

These are some of my long time favorites, and it would be truly awesome to see any, much less all, of them updated for Windows 7. Similar updates for each for IconPackager would likewise be sweet.

+1  There are many excellent IP's that I wish were updated for Vista/7 as well.

 There are so many great WindowBlinds and IP's from days gone by that for me, making a list is an impossible task. All I can do is say thank you, thank you, thank you to any skinner who takes the time and effort to bring these classics up to date.*

* So come on, you know you want to.;)

Just wanted to add another vote for Caffeine by Brewman. This was my most used XP skin, and I miss it dreadfully since I've been in Win 7. I'd also love to see Nascent and Sinter by Essorant. I also loved Latte back in the day. http://gillon.deviantart.com/art/LatteXP-308091
