OP
There are a lot of older skins....windowblinds .....of a quality and style that is sadly lacking in todays choices. Many of the older skins if updated to WB5 with transparencies etc would look brilliant. I also suspect they would steal the download numbers too. Skinners back then were more adventurous and utilized 3D more than today. Most skins today in my view are flat, uninspiring basic skins that are taking us back to the original windows design. I always had this thought that the original designer for windows must have been on mogadon when they designed it.Skinners need to grasp the mindset of the past again and create fun and interesting skins. A lot of Nikos´s old skins if updated would go like hot cakes...hint hint!!! :congrats ๐Ÿ˜Ž ;)

Well WindowBlinds is what it is ... i don&acute;t think it&acute;s absolutly necessary (in all cases) to make skins with transparency feature ... but at least with the last shellstyles, startpanel, animations, icons, and so on ... And as you said, probably a lot of skinned apps should not be still used (and / or) would be unecessary ... <br /> <br />I just throw up an idea in the air and for the mind spirit of it ... :brb

You are right neophil. Transparency is not a necessity. A simple upgrading on start menu on skins like Amazon or WBMedia Blue would bring them up to todays standard. Even the old Attacker skin. :Happy
