Version: WindowBlinds 5.1
"Best version of WindowBlinds yet!"
Pros: WindowBlinds is still the easiest, fun, and most stable way to change the look of Windows. I have been a user for quite some time, and I must say that this version has loads of improvements over the last ones. The best new feature is per-pixel shading, and the new graphics engine that allows users to have animated skins, as well as glossy effects on skins. I recommend using a very good graphics card with WindowBlinds, so you can enjoy the graphics even better. The amount of skins that you can get are great! This version also features a zero footprint operation...it won't slow down your computer the way that other skinning programs will. And it also does not come with spyware or adware. Many of the bugs in previous versions have been fixed with this. I had an issue with the per application settings not showing up, as well as some display issues, and I am happy to say that both are now gone. This version also recognizes when you are a registered user, and does not require a restart upon installation, nor does it even require you to keep re-entering the serial number (if you download it through Stardock Central). This is the most easily usable and stable version yet!
Cons: As I have stated earlier, a good graphics card goes a long way. I think that that is one of the changes from version 4. Also, the trial version of the software is limited in skinning capability, as well as how long you can use it. However, once you try it, I am sure it will be hard to put away. This is the best $19.95 that I have spent on software in a long time.
