If we treat sentience like we done before, and make them slaves which probably will happen which if they don't revolt then we will do it for them. This in turn teaches them oppression. In slavery there are two kinds the one that has no promotion, and one that allows for promotion. [/quote] or we could give them a little money (just enough to get by) and let them

[quote who="Jafo" reply="29" id="3635512"] MS never provided 'real' skinnability themselves.

it's not so easy to compare, as a OS X does not follow the same "there's an application and outside the application are borders"-doctrine as Windows. the title bar is pretty much part of the application itself and makes use of transparency and blur (not as tacky as Windows 7 though) and also client-side decorations. bottom, left, right borders aren't there. <img src="https://0ec7472b83a4935261a20437b64f95711022f5af.googledrive.com/host/0BzCZjSgA75hMaVdGNC1JYV

Reply to What happen to the skins? :( in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

the prices of course look ridiculous in 2016 if you compare them to prices of other software, particularly on mobile platforms. people need to keep in mind that the market for payskins is not small but tiny. the revenue is far too small to implement a micropayment solution. if Windowblinds would be popular then some kind of "in-game-currency" as deviantArt points could be considered. it is not though, and it is not going to grow. from a business perspective it would be a waste

this is really good. i particularly like the min/max/close button. creative and also well thought. also corresponds nicely with the start button. the scrollbars are weak compared with the rest of the skin. that biohazard symbol looks out of place. it's also bad interface design to use the same symbol for for up/down. task buttons suffer from borderitis. looks a little crowded and makes it harder to find the desired task than necessary. i hope you enjoy using colors

you can still get it from sharewaresites that store it on their own servers instead of just providing links. (Softpedia for example) keep in mind though that this software has not been abandoned with the announcement a few years ago, but looooooooong before.
