Description
Hello!Finally, after eons of hard work it is released! Port of a beautiful theme originally created by Kevin Husted [link]
Disclaimer: (from Kevin's website)
So your a PC/Linux user who has ported an SS original?
I get so many emails from users of other operating systems letting me know that they have created their own ports of my work for their platforms it astounds me. I'll be very frank with you, the only community I am worried about is the Macintosh community; I create the OSX originals and strive for bug free, well thought and well executed GUI's. I do not endorse any particular port of my work for these other platforms. I do not attempt to regulate ports.
Port and distribute as you like while noting that the port is inspired by but unrelated to Swizcore Studio.

Well it's a problem with Adobe applications - they use non-standard colour vaules hence this bug. It can't be solved with Windowblinds This is the little price that we have to pay :S

This is absolutely *stunning* to say the least. - for those of you that have yet to purchase WindowBlinds now might be the time as this is possibly the "killer" skin that its been waiting for. You just know that its not possible to this extent with a basic VisualStyle.
The first WB skin that I can honestly say is worth every moment it resides on your desktop!
Excellent work.. and a sure fire 'favourite' ..

Hi! Welcome to the Internet!
You sent your compliment to the wrong person. A port means he did not design it, but he ported it from another operating system, in this case, Mac OS X Panther, to the Windows skinning engine, "Windowblinds". If you wish to compliment someone, compliment Swizcore Studios for the design of Jetblack.
I hope this helps you. The Internet can be a confusing place.

Yeah, I was always mad that there were no good dark themes for msstyles/winblinds. That's why we ported Jetblack
