Now let me make it clear from the start that I’m just looking for feedback on features you would like to see for WindowBlinds in Windows 7. Many people are trying the Windows 7 beta, and through your experiences so far, is there anything different you would like to see WB try to accomplish?
Please be specific and screenshots and mockups would definitely be welcome.
well, one thing i'd like to see implemeted will probably seem as odd to most people but i'd like to be able to use WB's recoloring feature to change the taskbar and start menu color individually. yeah, i know it's trivial but i'd like it. it can be done in other fashions, i know. i've done it
I'd actually go for some fine-grained advanced recolor options. Not so much element based, but perhaps some options that could limit the HSL shift to any parts of the skin which are within a given HSL range already. For example. right now if I want to recolor a skin to red, but the menus, toolbars, etc., are slightly tinted rather than being straight gray, I have to have all that stuff a funky pale pinkish-gray in order to get the titlebar/start menu red. What I'd like to be able to do is recolor only the strongly saturated parts to red, and completely desaturate the low saturated parts.
Probably wishful thinking though. Just gotta fire up PSP and do it manually most likely.
can you create gradient and other bizzar stuff with the opacity on Windows Blinds? (haven't played with it in ages, since one of my friends had it, I never did)
I second Kyro's suggestion. Having just two seperate hue shifts would rock.
Also . . skinning the command prompt.
This may be out of place or all ready considered but backward compatibility with Vista and XP if possibile.
Thirded.
Now I never expected that!
Not a UI feature as such, but the ability to select skin library path like in ThemeManager/IconPackager... then persons dual booting can access their skins from the one location, rather than having to load them in each OS and duplicating thousands of files
Done.
And Zubish on tap.
But.. HOW would you download me?
Umm... I'll byte..... Bit by bit of course.
I would like them to fix an ongoing issue with Eztune. A program that changes my monitor’s settings and allows auto rotate. It's made my portrait display. I submitted a ticket on this back in June. It worked on WB ver. 6.03 all versions after that cause Eztune not to work. I don't know who is involved with fixing incompatibility issues. But they don't seem to care about this as they keep rolling out more updates that haven't fixed this. If some one with authority at stardock reads this please look at the ticket I have submitted and put some priority on this.
Better support for using large (120 dpi) fonts and custom size fonts.
Just because this software is not installed on every PC should not be an excuse to exlude it from working with Windowblinds. This software is being used on many HP's, Gateways, Dells, etc. I wouldn't exactly call in "non-standard". Are you involved in the development of Windowblind? If so, Have you seen my submitted ticket regarding this issue? And why hasn't any one been in-touch with me on this? The Tech's that I've talked to can only forward the info to the the developers for further support. So, If you are the almighty challange yourself and see if you can make Eztune compatible with Windowblinds again as it was in ver. 6.03 and prior.
I wish there were some way of changing the fonts and skinning the tabs in FF3
