"Take CAUTION When Using Such Programs."
Pros: AMAZING themes for your pc. Great program for having a VERY attractive PC . lots of customization to icons . mouse cursors etc. YOU COULD CHANGE YOUR WHOLE PCS LOOK!!!!......but......
Cons: the main program why i give this program a 2/5 is becuase when i UNISTALLED the program . MY starup changed to the old old style , i could not change it. my boot section also was'nt appearing . i had the old icons . my mouse changed , heaps of weird things happend after I unistalled this program. i started to recive more errors and some windows were not starting up. eventually caused me to FORMAT my whole pc. IF YOU EVER DO INSTALL THIS PROGRAM MAKE SURE YOU STICK WITH IT.! othorwise , dont even try it.

Version: WindowBlinds 5.01
"One of those "Can't live without""
Pros: Using it since Windows 95. Just GREAT. The purchase price is worth every peny, and more! The full version have NO real skining limitation, it will even skin applications and part of the UI that Windows XP can't.
Many skins will add some functionalities to the usuals ones like rolluo/unroll, always on top toggle, send to bottom,...
Go get a look at wincustonize and get thousands of skins to chose from!
Sounds and wallpapers can be disabled if you want.
You can set overrides to change some funtionality of the skins.
Cons: If you don't have Windows XP, you must stay with the 4.x version.
Maybe to much choice of skins, you can fill up your drive with those!

Version: WindowBlinds 5
Pros: I was a huge fan of WindowBlinds 4.5. It was really a great program for skinning Windows with. Now, Stardock has outdone itself with this update. The capabilities that it adds are incredible. The visual capabilites have been updated, and now the themes include transparency, irregular shapes, glowing effects, and more. The stock options for themes are good, and you can download even more at the wincustomize.com website. This version makes your computer look and feel like any OS you want. The compatability issues have been improved. The program runs faster and smoother than previous versions. It also uses less resources. Some of the display quibbles are gone now, too. I have always felt that this was the most sophisticated skinning program out there, but now it is the best, hands down! And if you have the purchased version, you will get even better features out of this program.
Cons: The trial used to be unlimited, now it only lasts for 60 days, and it has limited skinning capabilities for that trial. That is generous for a trial, but compared to what it used to be, that is kind of rough. Also, the unregistered product begs you to buy it at each startup. I think it is well worth it though. Some programs that skin themselves may act a little strange with this. Still, for the depth and excitement that it adds to the boring Windows shell, you simply must give this download a chance. It breathes life into your PC, and will make you feel as if you have a new OS again!
