Impulse and Windowblinds

Or... What the heck?

from Stardock Forums

So... Stardock, riddle me this! You're the leader in desktop customization. You're also a budding purveyor of online software publishing. Awesome! So, why is it that your software for purchasing and managing downloadable software (Impulse) is 100% unskinnable? In fact, it is so anti-skinnable it doesn't even look like the operating system it runs on when that operating system isn't skinned. Just strikes me as strange, and I finally got around to asking why. :maybe:

Open up Preferences on Impulse, under Impulse Options click on 'Disable Custom Skin' and restart Impulse.  It will now be skinnied by what ever WindowBlinds you are using.  That is what you were talking about, right?  :sun:

Yes it is! But... sadly while that is helpful it isn't fully skinned. LOTS of stuff still in default Impulse look (e.g. the menu bar, search/nav bar area, etc.) Still a step in the right direction, thanks Philly!

My question to Stardock is still valid I think, why is your Impulse program only 20% skinnable? :P

It's skinnable...just not EASILY skinnable
