I have been using luna HoE with windowsblind for almost 3 years now , before that i was using the Longhorn Slate 4051 skin for WB 4.5

i m looking for some recomendation, for minimalistic, day to day usage skin, i prefer the windows classic style layout, thats Y, i stay away from longhorn aero style Transparent theme, with transparent Titlebars

i have recently used Soluna, which was good, but i would like to see other themes too, something dark,

Blister is also an good option for me, but the text is dark on it, even the text on menus, i really like the theme glyhs though, speciallt black & blue theme,

i have used Tigar 2 by KoL, but the buttons were on the other side, while Steve grainer's skin was really beautyful but lacked the shellstyle of tigar 2,

looking forward for such recomdations

iflex is looking good, i wish it had an dark colored shellstyle, making a request to danialOC now

i visit wincustomize & deviantart, but there are tooooo many nice skins to choose from that i m going banana

You do know that if you like a shellstyle from another theme and it seems to fit with one you are using you can use skinstudio to import and apply it to that theme. Then you have the best of both worlds.

So if you wanted Steves tiger skin but KoL's shellstyle just use SS to import the shellstyle into the tiger skin and bingo.

but for this, i will need skinstudio pro, which i don't have

gonna check opus, Glitch, Foton, or Antimatte

edit : Just checked, Opes 3.0 is not available for Windowsblind, while Foton, is awsome, but it's white, i was looking for a dark theme, anyway, the shellstyle design of foton is just perfect

Antimatter & Glitch has the same problem, too small buttons, not my thing, i m waiting for the Opus 3.0 port

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
