WindowBlinds 6.02 released

Maintenance release improves performance, adds MyColors support

Tuesday, January 15, 2008 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News

 Stardock has released WindowBlinds 6.02. WindowBlinds is a program that allows users to change the look and feel of Windows XP and Windows Vista by applying a new visual style. Users can download thousands of free visual styles from websites such as WinCustomize.com, deviantART, SkinBase, Customize.org, and more.

Thanks to years of optimization, WindowBlinds not only won't slow down your computer, it is faster than Windows XP or Windows Vista is by default thanks to making use of video acceleration features in ATI, nVidia, and Intel-based video adapters.  Moreover, WindowBlinds makes heavy use of resource sharing and as a result typically uses less memory than when using the default Windows XP or Windows Vista visual styles.

WindowBlinds 6.02 is a maintenance release designed fix some reported bugs, improve skin changing speed, and add support for MyColors themes.

WindowBlinds is a free download at http://www.windowblinds.net. Users can purchase an enhanced registered version which adds additional functionality for $19.95 (or get it as part of Object Desktop which adds several additional programs and costs $49.95).

Download: www.windowblinds.net

Sounds like a Stardock Central issue. Make sure you have build 164. (help->about).


Hello,
I'm confused by this. I was caught with the "error 29" problem as well and saw that I had Stardock Central build 163 installed. Restarting it did not tell me there was a build 164 available. I had to go and re-download the package from the Stardock website. Once that installed it said there was an update and it updated to build 164. Would there have been another way to ask Stardock Central to update itself? On a side note, build 164 allows the install of Windowblinds 6.02.024
Thank you.

right click on the icon to start sdc and choose to run it as an administrator. that should allow you to install anything within sdc.
