Is 10 skinnable?Does Windowblinds work well on 10?

 

Depends on who you ask.

The browsers don't skin well. And you need a program called OldNewExplorer to get the explorer windows to skin perfectly.

There are a few unskinnable parts.  Overall, it skins fairly well.

 

Dunno about scaling, I tried it briefly when setting up super virtual resolution in Radeon settings. 125% is it's recommendation, I prefer 100%.

Wow, Mike!

Good to see ya! I'm also semi retired from skinning but managed to squeeze one out this year after a 3 year break. Would be awesome to see a new I.R. original again!

Ok,I have used OldNew Explorer before for visual styles.

I will probably buy a copy of Windowblinds for Win10 just to give it a go,...it is only like 10$ now right?

I still use Windowblinds on my Win7 PC...wouldnt have it any other way.  

The visual style hack I run on Win10 for now is very limited(probably for scaling purposes) but it gives me a nice charcoal grey background on everything.For websites I use the Dark Reader plugin on Firefox.I run Firefox with a titlebar like a regular window so it should skin OK.

I am most worried about scaling and the start menu.Havnt used any start menu replacements yet.

Heck,I only just now got Win10 under my control and not MS.

I went from 125 processes at boot to 42.(the answer to Life,the Universe and Everything)

Besides Windowbinds and SkinStudio, you will also need Start 10 Mike. The email you had for me went away many years ago when I closed my website, John's got closed too, but his email is still good. I still own the MaxStyles.com domain. I will PM you wil my new email address, phone number too if you ever need it.

Don5318 and LightStar. IceBabee makes a few.

 

Neone6 skin's are way outside the box, kinda reminiscent of you, actually.

Well, then there are Win10 updates of some of vStylers skins. Maybe you can get him skinning again.

 

I made a few even. Hardwood is kinda dark.  My best work to date.

BTW, Mike, not sure if you know, I am RedneckDude now. I think I may have been PuterDudeJim when you were still here.

 

EDIT:  Silly me. i guess the OP kinda gave that away.  See, I'm still me....lol.

Don't know about "the best" but I have done a few......

They're listed as Win7 only, but work perfectly on Win10

Endeavour is one of the very best dark skins around, and as you said, works great in W 10.
