The public version of WindowBlinds is not currently Windows 7 compatible.  It does run but it has no idea what to do about that new taskbar & startmenu!

It will probably be a few weeks before you get to skin Windows 7 with WindowBlinds.

How about the other Object Desktop components ?

Is there a listing posted anywhere as to what works (fully, partially, or not at all) ?

 

Mainly interested at this point in Deskscapes, Tweakvista, LogonStudio, Iconpackager, and Fences.

Deskscapes not working. Cursor FX is working. Logon Studio Vista is working.

Fences is working!!!  Icon Packager works. Note, these are preliminary findings as I install. Bug reported later.

Here it opens up but you can't scroll the skins. The window is too big for the screen, it is under the taskbar. It does skin the windows.

Under no circumstances should you try BootSkin Pro on Windows 7.

What resolution are you using?

It fits on screen on my machine.

1280x800 laptop. But there is no scroll bar for the skins, no matter the res. Even if I autohide the taskbar. Reinstall?  I will not try bootskin, thanx!

Do you think current skins will adapt to 7, or will we have to wait for new skins?
