Question for WindowBlinds users

from WinCustomize Forums

When you browse the WindowBlinds gallery on WinCustomize or go directly to a WB skin page, do you look for anything that describes what OS the skin will be compatible with?

If so, do you look at the description, or the older Win7 compatible icons (if skinners check that)?

Or, do you not worry about it and just download it and see how it works?

I don't worry about it and just download it and see how it works.

I check OS compatibility.

I don't bother with OS. I downloaded some very old skins that have worked fine with no issues or very minor issues I could live with. I don't usually keep anyone blind active for very long anyway and if there is one that will not work it is easily deleted.

I look at the description for o/s, just so I know what I'm up against.

I only worry about it on a Master skin.

I check compatibility because I run a freaky dual boot system that hates everything ;)

That's not to say I'm adverse to the "try it and see if it flies" routine, if I really really LOVE the windowblind in question - Mormegil's "ChristmasTime" for instance. Good, bad or indifferent, THAT was going on my machine for the Holidays!

I do check, but if i like a skin to a certain extend i will download it anyway even if that means that certain cool things wont work under my OS.
Good example Animations in Startmenu since Windows8.

I check to see what OS its made for.

I look for compatibility but I'll try and run it anyway. Sometimes I tweak older ones to work better for win7.
