custom skins
« on: January 29, 2010, 04:11:22 PM »
Is there any chance of adding the skin and use the icons from the 4.8 version?  I know it's pointless to the program itself but I really like the old look as it fits in perfect with the theme of my desktop and taskbar.

It would also be great to have a selection of custom themes as well for future releases.

Hi steveswede, welcome to the forum :)

Unfortunately I am pretty sure this is not possible, as the skinning has been completely dropped for version 5.
(IMO to go for a more professional and up to date look.)

Hi Scott

Thanks for your reply.

That's a pity.  I hope it does get considered though for some of us that are stuck in our ways. ;)

I somehow doubt that will change as it would essentially require a big redesign and after the design of the new version 5 and its UI no one would want to go down that road in a hurry. Not to mention the skinning software used in 4.8 is no longer available so any previous skins would be redundant.

I liked the skins, but after a week on 5.0 I'm comfortable with the new UI.

Hey the skin was good idea for the v4.8 and I don't find any reason for changing the v5 its already new skin totally different from the version not like other products where they have almost similar GUI :)
