If I am correct, this is not a subscriber skin, just a free skin for all members, correct? So I'm sorry for the thumbs down.

"but it isn't for 7"? "support at least 7 and vista"? I don't understand. Have you tried it on Windows 7?

WindowBlinds can and does use skins designed for Vista on Windows 7. The few things that aren't specifically skinned are things like the task preview pane, jumplists and a few other bits - although they are still catered for by WB, using existing setting for colours or existing skin elements. So in terms of the difference between a Vista and a Win7 skin, it's minor.

OldMsgt will testify, it runs absolutely fine on Windows 7 (and so do I as I'm using it right now!) This skin was made prior to Win7 release, hence no W7 specific update. Just download it and try it - it's free! (...and took a LONG time to make!)

Also worth noting, there are Four different animals textures - Giraffe, Tiger, Cheetah and Zebra!

Finally, the matching wallpapers are here:  link

Yes, I have. And it runs fine. I was going on the fact that there was no Win 7 substyle. I didn't mean to imply that it didn't work well on 7. Just that there was no 7 substyle.

As my above post shows, I apologized for the thumbs down. I could remove it, but since we can still read edits, I see no point.

 

Thanks Tim, for this nice skin!

No problem at all RND  

I think it's possible that new visitors to the site might think that skins for xp/vista may just not work at all on Win 7. They are always worth trying (and some quite honestly look a bit poor!) but most look fine.

It works great on Win 7 64. I especially love the Giraffe skin.

Beautiful job and I really love this skin.  Thanks to everyone who worked on it - especially Essorant.  I run Windows 7 32 bit and it works just fine.  There's not that much difference between Vista and Win 7 so give it a try.  Thanks to Tim (Essorant) for the beautiful Savannah wallpaper too.

While it does have a few issues on 7, this is still a stellar skin!  Great job essorant!
