Published on January 23, 2015 By WOM In WindowBlinds

I remember in the old days(Good Old) you had skinners making minimalistic, thin border window blinds with a roll up button.  Damn few skinners put the roll up button anymore and it seems thin borders are out.  One reason most of my blinds are old.

Would you being old also have something to do with it WOM?   

I'm truly sorry, but I just couldn't resist, especially since I'm old myself.

Ah, those were the good old days.

I too prefer thinner frames and rollup buttons. But since WB allows rollup on a double click of the titlebar, skinners have abandoned the button.

I seem to remember other extra buttons used to be added as well. Seems like I remember media buttons? Maybe others?

WOM = Weary Old Man, doesn't it?

It used to be easier to set the roll up, I think there was an actual setting for it, now you have to hunt it down. I'll start putting them on, thanks for the reminder.

Gonna kick your Butt RND.    And yes there were other buttons.

I put the roll up buttons on all my skins. The forums use to rock. Now what is going on. Never mind no additional comment.

Damals als die Gummistiefel noch aus Holz waren! 
I would love to see some skins from 2005 updated so that i could use them on my machine.
But i know how time consuming it can be to adjust things.

I also like skins that have a small windowframes and also I tend to run a small taskbar even on windows8.
Note to myself: wanted to ask Dani if it is possible to animate mouseover in the startmenu

benmanns...if you make use of the Wiki and Vampothika's lessons and pm questions to Masters like Lightstar, you can learn to update skins for yourself.

Emphasis on "for yourself". You can't distribute them in any manner, but you can use the updated versions on your machine/machines.

Dr, I don't believe the WC Wiki is available anymore.

Im aware of the process Doc- but when it comes to animating or inserting sounds for skins i think nobody knows better than Dani
or i could try and ask MrPaul
maybe i check his Gui submission for answers or LS can tell me how many frames i would need for the mouseover to recognize that i want an animation instead of a 5 stage picture, since i think adding more would be confusing because of the order...  

For example on the left hand side Program list i would like to have a color indictaion on the left of the mouseover for each listed program if possible with the used colorcode that is defined by the program icon or the program itself and when i mouseover i want that stripe of color gently animated to pull out.
I wanted to do this for a long time but i think it is not possible i know i can have one mouseover that would then used for each listed program.
something like this:
