Let's see....$60/hr for design services and a minimum of 40 hours to get a basic Windowblind together.......OK, I could probably get going for $2,400.00 up front

The cold hard light of day tends to put a dampener on it all....but that's probably not too far off 'the money'.

That has to be the ugliest Vista shot I've ever seen. YOU NEED SHADOWS.

Hmmm.....maybe you haven't looked hard enough.
Anyways, here is a couple of shots I just put together as that one is quite outdated as was pointed out. The first shot is just WindowBlinds on Vista with a "Leopard" skin and ObjectDock at the bottom. The second shot is using a Mac Objectbar theme as well.

Well, as much as I understand how hard money is to come by these days a hundred dollars might buy you a start menu and taskbar from any competent professional artist.
What you may try is finding the closest to what you want in a Mac theme and asking someone to alter it \ vistafy it for you.
Making a quality wb in most cases is weeks of work, Perhaps you could pick up a copy of Skinstudio, take your time and adjust the areas u want modified..bit by bit at your own leisure.

Is this the purchased version? If so you should first make sure you have the latest update by using Stardock Central. It would also help to post your WB system information from the configuration screen.

You neglected to mention running a virus scan, malware & spyware scans, trojan scans......etc.
You didn't REALLY think it was free with no strings (or bugs) attached did you?

I've been looking for a decent OSX skin for WB 5.5 (Vista) with no luck...
I'm using one of those XP skins which Ermmm... well they aren't too bad...
Hope someone releases an OSX skin for Vista soon...
By the way Windows Blinds 5.5 is a little buggy under Vista... Every time after rebooting my PC it shuts down (DWM) so I have to unload Windows Blinds, Enable Aero again and reload Windows Blinds... Kind of a little frustrating but I have already paid for my copy... Hope to get WB6.0 update when it comes out...
