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

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

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

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...

    • Fun fact: There are more Warhammer 40k games than there are stars in the universe.
    • laughing is tedious. Elephants really are laughing lazy, y'all..
    • Agreed. And this is a great discount offer! It's a shame that there's no discount offer option for people who would be fine subscribing for a year-long term, but pay monthly.
    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. 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.
