[quote who="WebGizmos" reply="49" id="3542933"] Greg...Facebook is just one mouse click away from Winstep...is that to far for you? Keep in mind that Jorge has been solely responsible for the idea of...coding of...and production and continuing development of Winstep. He has been at it for years and he has tons of people hounding him daily over little things while trying to keep focus on all of that...and sometimes you just need to step away and try and have a normal life and not go nuts.

[quote who="RickJP" reply="90" id="3526957"] My first thought was that is a bit much, but a quick check on how many free skins I had downloaded by the same person changed my mind, divided by the total number of skins it is very cheap for all the work involved in making them. [/quote] Not an accurate assessment unless you make it from the time of promotion to master, going forward.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="24" id="3526302"] The tile colours is a Microsoft thing, you would need to complain to them about that. As for the background, yes they do let you use your wallpaper, but that is very limiting and it does not automatically create a suitable colour scheme. [/quote] Indeed. I knew about the tile color part and understand fully. As for the background, well, I like my start menu background to match my desktop. I

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="20" id="3526085"] On Windows 8 the only OS start menu is the fullscreen one and the colours and background of that are catered for by Decor8. [/quote] Neil, Decor8 has been FAR less useful since 8.1 came out. You can natively use your desktop background as your start menu background. Decor8 does NOT do a thing for the tile colors with 8.1 either.

[quote who="Jafo" reply="17" id="3526074"] First you have to FIX "the native UI' . [/quote] My points are getting muddied. Start8/10 are UTILITIES, and as such they provide a nice function. The necessity of this function is only in the eyes of the end user. For ME, I don't use it. It's nice, but if I had relied on this then I would not be as familiar as I am with the natural state of the OS. I get paid to know how to support the native OS. I'm

One thing is for certain. Unless SD is able to provide the ability to customize the natural interface of the OS then you can number the days of skinning. There comes a point where you have to give up the legacy and antiquated start menu that was Win7 and move on. Unless I missed something in the presentation, the new start menu will be a combination of tiles and legacy start menu. Those that have had to rely on apps that give that old style start menu are going to be e

Reply to Master Skin prices skyrocket! in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I have no big problem with Master Skins. However... let's be honest. The days of high quality skins being free are few and far between anymore. Most times when someone achieves the degree of high quality they are promoted to master and the free ones are seldom put out there. I'ts all about $$ anymore and no longer a hobby..

[quote who="WebGizmos" reply="6" id="3514638"] ask Jorge how to create one since he is the developer of Winstep [/quote]EXACTLY!!! Jorge needs to realize the importance of the theme creator if Winstep is to have any lifespan. I do understand the load that he's under, but this one is absolutely essential and long overdue.
