OK, I renewed my OD subscription

I had windowblinds installed through Impulse. Is it best to uninstall all and start fresh?

Probably.  But use the individual installers from the Stardock Store My Accounts page, not Impulse.

Don't know Neil...all I know is when I updated it thats what happened...when I rolled it back it fixed the problem.

I think that was my big mistake.

Whatever put it off the rails, sounds like your rig got well-borked. 

Hava on me.

I agree with windoe, Looks like UI has gone backwards in time. 

We need more skins from the likes of DanilloOc, JJ.Ying, Mike Bryant, Essorant, vStyler Where did they go ? (not so much vStyler, seen his recent work and it's amazing like always).

I miss PixelPirate.

{quote]It occurs to me to ask you to post a screenshot.  Some monitors have terrible rendering of light colours and so off white and white look identical and in some themes the line colour and the document colour may be closer than in others.[/quote]

Well for some reason today, the gridlines are clearly rendered using ignore or don't ignore mode.  However, when allowing WB to skin Excel 2010, the minimize, maximize and close buttons don't work so I set ignore back on for now.  Oh wait, I did change the blind I'm using so your theory may be correct,  As a matter of fact I used Skin Studio to affect amsall chnage to Ravens Wood once before to make it more readable.  I'm using Bell, Book and Candle now (both by Casperrr).

Awesome-

As I went right from XP to W7 - I would never had figured it out.

Best

Impulse update was fine.

The dark Metro skin is beautiful. Dani? Use it for awhile. The effects are subtle. Love it.

Updated through my store account works great! I love the dark metro blind..I'm using it with Omnimo for rainmeter and it looks amazing!

Dunno about the others, but JJYing, I think, works for HP and probably has a full plate.

He has his own site too.

And at DA.  

Essorant & vStyler remain very active skinners here.   Haven't seen any work from Mike in a long time.  Too long... very talented skinner.

I'm right here, I'm back working at Stardock and in fact I did this two skins ( thought the original design direction is from Microsoft).

I'm working some really cool stuff at SD and have some new (original) skins coming too, i hope you like it

and what about Tiggz  ? who can forget GT3...
