For reasons unknown, it appears that it is no longer on WC site. I did my own searching, and he doesn't even have it on his own skins page.

I have a copy, but I wouldn't presume to give it to anyone without Kol's persmission. Sorry about the luck on that one, it is a nice skin.

Found it! It's over on Deviant Art, this link should take your browser there: *removed*
Your luck may have taken a turn! Happy Skinning!!

**Edited by Admin to remove link.

Since MS have asked for the skin to be taken off of here, it's not really prudent to allow that link to be displayed. Sorry.

You can get to his page by using "-kol." before "deviantart.com" - no "www"......

Its not at all fair that Kol's theme has been removed and many other Vista emulation type themes get to stay.
Link Indigo Nanosis Vista
Link Arrow

Thats just on the first page of the library.
I would show more but the all too familiar errors are still happening...

Does anyone know why with the VistaXP theme (GLASS COMPACT BETA 1) on WindowBlinds 5 activated, the fonts in my Mozilla Firefox web browser for "menu" and "message box" keep getting set to what looks like the "Book Antiqua" or "Bookman Old Style"?

For some reason, Firefox is the only program that I have where the fonts keep getting set to this. I've tried manually changing them back to Tahoma or something sensible in Windows Desktop > Properties > Appearance. But Windowsblinds 5 keeps changing my Firefox fonts back to "Book Antiqua" whenever I restart my computeR

Any fixes for this would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Get the Segoe UI font in the .ZIP package when you downloaded the skin. Install it by copying and pasting it into the Fonts folder in C:\Windows. He mentions it several times.

There is a link to his skin on www.neowin.net, the forums are up, follow the Customizing, Windowblind, on the forum, you'll find his link there to Deviantart. Jim

We feel the same way. MS can't be selective on the issue. If MS doesn't show they are going to enforce their perceived "rights" equally then VistaXP will soon be back.

This is the second time there's been apparent selectivity on the part of MS, where we complied but, it seems others did not. Perhaps this is down to Wincustomize.com being more 'prominent' within the MS skinning fraternity, but it's certainly not fair and equitable 'treatment'.
