The new poll

HEH... I was wondering how we will ever know the results of that poll, since there is no answer appropriate to select and open the results.

I noticed the same thing...

Same here. The first poll I have no answer to.

I was thinking of picking one just to see the results, but decided against it.

They could have added 'nothing' as an answer.

That would have helped us.

ahhh, I was wondering the same thing. I have no answer to the poll.

I might have a gripe though, but it doesn't fit into those catagories.

- They are useful
- There no too complicated (although it will take time to understand all the features)
- NO WAY is it too simple
- The only way for it not to look visually good is to have a skin that doesn't look good.
- If its fancy a gaudy then it is the skin not the program itself


soooooo... has to be for newbies to the skinning world or other people who just never used windowblinds.



I really hate not voting. I made voting a part of my nature. Now the poll just looks at me, begging me to vote.

Seems like it is for that 'uxtheme-hack-users'.

Yup, I too thought the poll should have included an "I have no gripe with WB skins." But I guess the target audience is those who do have gripes (or as c242 suggests). Still...there are so many different skins to choose from that there should be something for almost everyone's taste.

So far, here's the rundown. In order of most votes:

5
1
2
4
3

One option I think should have been on there was "unusable" which would describe nearly all of the dark skins.

/me does not have any gripes with WindowBlinds

Dark skins are nasty tho, some text in Microsoft is hard coded

I picked "They aren't useful enough" cause I ain't using WB
Take it or leave it

...maybe if Snowman voted, and so can see the results, we can know how the results are showing?

So Snowman was one of the 3.

Hey Aqua, if your seeing the poll results, that means you voted?



So Aqua's vote doesn't count.

Funny, I was going to do the same thing in order to see the votes. Curiousity killed the data, I always say.


Aqua, don't you have a dark skin? I am in the prossess of making a dark skin, but it will have 2 sub skins that have more light with dark borders to ovoid the 'I can't see anything' situations


What colors are hard coded?

i do not nescessaryly have gripes but it is hard for me to find a windowsblind that i like

Hmm, I can't answer the poll. I don't really have a problem with anything.

Why not include a "no comment" or "no opinion" selection in the polls?

A no gripe option is now avaiable.

Too late....

Not for me.

just log out and you´ll see the results.

it´s all a matter of personal taste. two great skins released recently (Rogue, Systronic-15), but if you look at the two current top downloads at the right most WindowBlinds users seem to prefer skins with technically poorer graphics.

i voted option number 2, "visually unattractive", that´s at least true for the huge majority of skins. the reason why not using WindowBlinds is that the program is not useful enough.

It wasn't too late for me

moshi....come on....WB is the perfect adjunct to LiteSTEP...and on-top and roll-up controls are definite added functionality...

So number two is for you!

(It rhymes so you know its true.)

Visually poor graphics? How do you know? What gives it away?

I got SETI, Nomad, Passive, Subterfuge, Watercolor, Woody, XP Corona, XP Jeans XP USA, Alias Redux, Ambient II, Blackcomb, Boron, Grayce, Denali, Goof, Generations, Ghost, Hot One, Ketix i think all of those are good skins and some you can actually use at work. (Ghost, Gracye, Alias Redux, Woody, Subterfuge, Ambient II)

I think there are allot of skins that don't have nice bitmaps but I still use cause its still cool.

I just can't go back to regualer windows... I just can't.

it´s a good program. roll-up and on-top are cool, but for my three windows desktops (LS, HoverDesk, BlackBox) it´s not really enough to make me use WindowBlinds.

BlackBox has both functions built in, and even more window managent as "keep sticky on all desktops" and "set transparency".

HoverDesk v3.0 will have roll-up buit in also.

with LS i currently use Freeshade, but i will soon get a new mouse and use the extra buttons with WndMan.dll http://www.loose-screws.com/comment.php?type=mod&id=327 both have more "usefulness".
