Brad Wardell's site for talking about the customization of Windows.
Published on April 11, 2025 By Frogboy In OS Customization

This UI was made by AI.  

So was this:

 

We are not quite at the point where AI can make the actual WindowBlinds skins themselves. Certainly not in real time. But I think we are getting close to where skinners will be able to make skins much more easily.

Brad...I'm only seeing place holders... no images ...

In case it matters re: site function, they were there for a little while, I happened to see them last night about a half hour after they were posted...

Brad...the images are gone, altogether.

I agree. You could create an algorithm (predetermined prompts) powered by AI (in addition to SKS) which could adapt to whatever MS's build du jour might change, and add an Adobe like color picker and *poof* you've got a skin.

Folks would might buy that.

I think it will be possible, relatively soon, to have a tool that makes it easy for skinners to create new skins.

Reminds me of the time when I was manually coding every transparent pixel in Magic pink for Winamp by hand...took one hell of a long time to do... then Maxim saw my methodology and wrote a program to do it at 1 click of a button.

I didn't know whether to kiss him or thump him...

That would be really, really good...provided MS doesn't make parts of its OS and other programs unskinnable by hard coding them.

If there is one piece of Stardock software that frustrates me it is definitely skin studio (props to all the skinners that have mastered it)... Sign me up for having AI do it for me. I bet that would increase the amount of new skins for Windowblinds by a lot!

It certainly increased the amount of wallpapers.
