WindowBlinds 5.01 Preview...
Tweaks, fixes, new features..
Saturday, March 18, 2006 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Lots of little tweaks coming up in WindowBlinds 5.01. One little change is wallpaper handling in which users can easily access wallpapers from anywhere on their computer and display them in a single UI.
We expect to have 5.01 out in the next week or two.

It would be nice if the wallpaper function had the same (or better if that's even possible) features of Xymantix Wallpaper Xchange. At least give it an option dialog to choose between Centered, Stretched, Tiled. That would be a great help.

Nice feature. I suppose we can direct it to the directory of our choosing where we have our wallpaper stored....not just the standard 'My Pictures' folder? I have my pictures stored on my second hard drive.
Also, are you guys going to enable skin color control like you did on 4.6? Somes skins I've used in the past I liked to change the gamma, saturation and such. That would be nice if you could re-implement that feature.

I would love to see some new features added around the handling of toolbar icons and shell animations. Its kind of a mess right now, especially when you have several skins that use the same icons. I think my install has about 20 copies of the default XP icons from Microsoft.

Sure hope the native menus and mdi buttons are fixed soon when using per-pixel borders.

9Iron: WindowBlinds 5 has those same colouring features that WB 4.6 had. The options for them are on the preview in wbconfig.

Does it thumbnail and catalogue your wallpapers? What about converting them to .bmp so Icon backgrounds will stay transparent?
