Reviewed by: CNET Staff
No matter what themes, backgrounds, or colors you choose, certain aspects of Windows always remain the same. WindowBlinds doesn't revolutionize the functionality of Windows XP, but it does give you more control over the cosmetics through themes that change the taskbar and windows within the operating system. You'll find very good integration with XP in this release, as configuration options are easily accessible from the Windows Display Control Panel. The new WindowBlinds also gets high marks for performance; we found the skins loaded seamlessly after a couple of seconds. A performance slider lets users with slower PCs choose a setting that won't interfere with the normal operation of their machines. This release offers a few interesting thematic options, such as iSkin, which portrays the look and window control buttons of the Mac interface while retaining the functionality of the Windows Start menu. If you want to edit the themes through the program, you'll have to install the publisher's SkinStudio. Bored Windows users might get a kick out of WindowBlinds.Publisher's description
From Stardock :WindowBlinds lets users completely customize the Windows user interface. It can change your title bars, push buttons, scroll bars, borders, radio buttons, Start bar, and virtually every other part of Windows. It works by applying skins. There are thousands of WindowBlinds skins available that can make Windows look like everything from Mac OS to Linux to something completely new. It turns Windows 98, ME, and 2000 into fully skinnable operating systems. On Windows XP, it integrates natively into the Windows XP visual style engine and extends it to support new features and increase performance via hardware acceleration.
Version 3.5 adds Skincast, a new way of automatically obtaining the latest, greatest visual styles for Windows.
