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

"totally unneeded with 7"
Version: WindowBlinds 7.2
Pros
nice to look at
Cons
drag on system
they require you to use their propriatary download program
customer supportSummary
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. -
"very good to excite you once more about your pc"
Version: WindowBlinds 7.2
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
very nice and useful for those who are tired of the same pc look and want some flavor.

"Terrible product"
Version: WindowBlinds 7.2
Pros
None
None
NoneCons
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 virusSummary
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.
