    "DO NOT USE THIS-It took out my wallpaper-black screen-"

    September 3, 2011  |   By andreaborman

    Version: WindowBlinds 7.2

    Pros

    None.sure it will change everything including folders in Windows Explorer. But it took out my wallpaper leaving me with a black screen. And I could not change my folders back.

    Cons

    Everything,left me with no wallpaper or desktop background and a black screen. I had to reinstall Windows-do a full factory restore. To get my computer back to normal.

    Summary

    DO NOT USE THIS-it took out my wallpaper and sure it changed my folders. But it left me with a black screen,no wallpaper,no desktop background. And I could not change my folders back even after I uninstalled this.It corrupted my system. So I had to reinstall Windows by doing a factory restore. This product is also know as Stardock My colors but-DO NOT USE THIS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The price you pay for using this-a black screen, and your whole computer corrupted so you have to reinstall Windows,is just not worth it.Andrea Borman.

    This product is also know as Stardock My Colors it's other name. But do not use this-it will take out your desktop wallpaper and background-it left me with only a black screen. And will corrupt your folders in Windows Explorer and you WON'T be able to change them back to normal. I ended up having to do a complete factory restore to reinstall Windows. Because of what this software did to my computer. SO BE WARNED. Andrea Borman.

    "Fun to use"

    August 7, 2011  |   By HoverTank

    Version: WindowBlinds 7.2

    Pros

    Makes your computer looks like an ultra cool high tech - futuristic machine (if you pick the right themes)

    Cons

    Somewhat problematic and there are bugs in themes created by users that you can get from Wincustomize

    Summary

    This is a good program. Its not perfect but still you can't say that it doesn't bring any good to your computer. I recommend that you get this if you have a lot of money to spend on softwares

    August 3, 2011  |   By MELW1980

    Version: WindowBlinds 7.2

    Pros

    i'll admit i do miss being able to change my taskbar,start menu ect. but after the program crashed my system i decided its not worth it

    Cons

    where do i start, well it crashed my computer i had to take it to the repair shop it was so bad....course the only thing they did was write a note saying to remove windowblinds, fences and anything by stardock. it was a pain removing

    Summary

    don't bother to download its not worth it.

    "totally unneeded with 7"

    May 27, 2011  |   By deckie49

    Version: WindowBlinds 7.2

    Pros

    nice to look at

    Cons

    drag on system
    they require you to use their propriatary download program
    customer support

    Summary

    windowblinds for xp was great. offered alot that xp didn't have, and actually ran faster than windows' shell. back then, the company seemed to genuinely care about making wb better, and customer service seemed more responsive. you also were able to download wb and updates directly, avoiding an extra (spyware laden?) downloader.
    my experience is that all that is gone now. wb is trying to compete with steam now, and wb customers are REQUIRED to use their downloader. and, with windows 7, windowblinds really doesn't offer anything special. it actually diminished my overall system performance.

    Pros

    easy to use, and quick

    Cons

    few times it was buggy. initial loaded styles are limited. download your own, didn't see an automated option to download themes.

    Summary

    "Terrible product"

    March 17, 2011  |   By Brincewindish

    Version: WindowBlinds 7.2

    Pros

    None
    None
    None

    Cons

    Slows down your computer
    Breaks your user interface
    Installs adware Impulse program that bombards you with ads all the time
    Can't uninstall it like a virus

    Summary

    This product isn't worth 2 cents let a lone 20 dollars. It takes over your computer putting this nasty impulse garbage on it. You get ads non stop. It won't uninstall no matter what you do. The looks it adds to your computer are boring and it slows your computer down.

    Skip this one if you value your time.
