CoughDrop for WB - please !

June 14, 2003 9:03 PM from

Can someone PLEASE

do a version of CoughDrop (the style which comes with StyleXP) for WindowsBlinds

This is a very good all round style - which comes in a number of colors
Berry (Cyan), Cherry (Red), Cinnamon (Light Red), Grape (sort of Purple), Licorice (French Blue I think), Lime (Green), Orange (Orange)

I'd also like to suggest some new colors
Chocolate (rich Brown), Wood (sand Brown), Leaf (Dark Green), Cloud (Grey), ? (Magenta)

OR if the 'port' could have the custom color ability (with out being forced - 'cos that dont always look right) I'd be over the moon

I have a number of computers and use remote desktop to 'connect' to each of them
- I use the different colored styles to identify each computer

many thanks

Steve

I'm using the new version of SkinStudio which supports the new USF (Universal Skin Format) which can load up msstyles and WindowBlinds skins and turn msstyles into WindowBlinds skins. So in essence, I have Coughdrop on WindowBlinds already.

the issue with porting Coughdrop, unless I'm totally off base here, is the fact that Coughdrop was created in-house by TGTSoft for their StyleXP program. Therefore, getting permission from them to port and release Coughdrop in a WindowBlinds format would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to do.
