Every holiday season I like to compile a list of the inspired skins of that holiday. Halloween has always been a popular time for desktop skinning, so I created a huge list of Halloween wallpapers, themes, cursors, screensavers, etc.

Check out the full list here.

WinCustomize doesn't support visual styles. You will find only WindowBlinds there

How about this? Instead of complaining to him, why don't you just appreciate all of the time and effort he has put into helping the many people who do use WindowBlinds? More people have/use WindowBlinds than visual styles, so if 2-3 people are left unhappy, but he helps 100 more, then he did the right thing. And how about you make a list of VS if you're so "desperate"?

Anyways, thank you so much for the links Island Dog, I was just about to make a topic in a few days for some Halloween WB

1. Wouldn't the right thing be to help everyone?
2. It's hard to appreciate something when it's no help whatsoever
3. Has it ever been proved that more people use Windowblinds or are you just talking out your ass?
4. I don't make my own list because i'm a beginner, and you guys on here are supposed to be experts

:rolleyes:

Merforga: I appreciate the comments.

Alpha Gamer:

You are focusing on one part of the list which is WindowBlinds, which has a very large user base and is far more flexible than .msstyles. However, I have no objections if you find some Halloween themes, to please post them.

The purpose of taking the hours to create a guide like that is to get more people involved in skinning, especially since holidays like Halloween are pretty popular for desktop customization.

I also listed Halloween inspired cursors, icon packs, many wallpapers, rainlendar skins, bootskins, logons, and more. I think that covers a majority of popular items to skin, so I'm sure it can help someone who wishes to have a Halloween themed desktop.
