Tab Launch Pad

June 10, 2002 9:59 PM from

I am hoping that the people at Stardock are reading this. I was wondering why Tab Launch Pad is not skinnable.. It woud be nice to change it's look such as the tabs and the background with skins. Are there plans for this in the future?

WindowBlinds will skin Tab Launchpad just like any other window. That's how I do it.

It skins the titlebar and the tabs. It isn't treated like a toolbar though, so, unfortunatley, it doesn't skin the buttons.

And while you're at it, take a look at NextStart, the other half of WintStep. And look at the NextStart themes on the left of the Wincustomize page as the majority of NextStart themes here include the corresponding WorkShelf theme.

Actually NextSTART is no longer showing up on the Library section at the left, at least not for new users - you will have to click on MORE to see it. My guess is that this is the result of some automatic feature implemented by Brad Wardel here at WinCustomize (I doubt he would ever do it on purpose, of course, hehe

). The section disappearence kind of happened at the same time we opened our own themes area at Winstep (which is powered by DeviantArt, by the way). Probably something to do with the recent low volume of downloads here - shame, really, since the NextSTART area is actually one of the areas with more themes in it (over 250 themes).

Hey Jorge!!

If you go into your account settings on wincustomize.com or in the skin browser, you can choose which sections show up. NS is absolutely in there. Wouldn't live without it

Yeah, I know that, but it is no longer part of the _default_ sections that show up.
