Hi all,

Well, I was waiting for the man himself to post the release news here, but I think I'll take the reigns on this one...

A few weeks ago, DanilloOc (of iFlex fame) released a screenshot of his new WB, aerial. I've literally been refreshing his DA page ever since then. Today, he released it, and believe me - it's beautiful... the attention to detail, the smoothness, the widgets, the little touches, the distinct lack of aero-ness - I'm in love! Get it at DeviantArt or WinCustomize

The only bad thing I would say about this is that on the full start menu the text colour for the right hand links is a little dark, other than that it's excellent.

My bad, I just rebooted and now the text is white :huh:

Edited by alex.

I found a colour scheme for winamp modern..wich fits nicely :)

Simplicity with the 'Black::GrayBG::White' colour scheme is also a nice fit...

@Alex - I was about to say - then I saw your edit, that the colours on my full start menu are cool...

Has anyone tried to recolour the skin yet?

I'd also like to point out, that this is one of those very rare dark skins which doesnt ruin firefoxes tabs readability.

  • 2 weeks later...

BTW, how do I get rid of this annoying line? (see pic)

I already turned off shadow on menu's, but the menu edge does not adapt to the new background.

Hmmm... I dont have that problem... I know it's lame, but a reboot might help.

Also, what does the 'System Information' option say in your WB Configuration window?

Looks alright:

WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:

STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

You have one monitor in total.

(Default Monitor) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200

Wblind.dll 2006/03/21 13:33:46

Wbsrv.dll 2005/12/20 22:57:44

Wbconfig.exe 2006/03/19 14:33:44

Wbload.exe 2005/12/21 00:04:40

Wbhelp.dll 2004/09/18 15:37:00

Wbui.dll 2005/12/06 21:29:06

Tray.dll 2005/11/02 13:28:26

Reboot does not fix it though.

Hmmm... did you get the absolute latest version off DA? He has updated it... the only other thing I can think of, if this doesnt work, is to request help from the author.

Did mail him. He did give some tips but suggested to contact Stardock, tips did not work. Maybe it's my graphicscard (GF5200) that doesn't want to.... :no:

I downloaded yesterday from DA, should be the latest...

    • Do not enter the code under any circumstances, or you will be sorry. It's definitely and most likely a hacking attempt.  That happened to me a couple of years ago, and I kept receiving those prompts for months. It's simply the attacker trying to get you tired of the constant requests, so you just give up and enter the code, so they can log in to your account. 
    • Ah well, who needs computers in the next 10... 15 years right? At this point is just money laundering.
    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
