Get your skin on!

Stardock is pleased to announced the release of WindowBlinds 6.2 today. WindowBlinds is an application that lets users easily change their Windows interface by applying a new skin. These "visual styles" can be applied across the entire user interface (title bars, push buttons, start menu, taskbar, etc.) of the operating system. As a result, users gain complete control over the way Windows looks.
What's new in version 6.2:
- Improved compression on start menu animations
- Animated wait screens during Apply
- Enhanced layer support (accompanied by skin author support in SkinStudio 6.2)
- Bug Fixes
WindowBlinds is available in both a free version and a an enhanced version which adds many additional features like the ability to change color/hue/brightness on the fly, change toolbar icons of IE and Explorer, and much more. WindowBlinds is available as part of Object Desktop, Stardock's ultimate suite of desktop customization tools, or at stand-alone for $19.95.
More information can be found at www.windowblinds.net.
To view a full library of free and purchasable WindowBlinds skins, visit Wincustomize.

I think you are best of downloading impulse m8. I bought WB by itself and not part of a bundle.
Having impulse automatically lets you know of any updates for any of your stardock programs.
It a good program and is not bad like some people say it is. I had no probs with it, it was a matter of downloading impulse, downloading the new WB 6.2 and then restarting. All done in a matter of 5 minutes.

That's not correct, I run XP Home Edition, 32bit, SP3 and run IE7 with not problems at all. I don't have any addons or extentions in IE7.
What problems have you encountered running IE7 on a XP system?

Do your archive separately (right click menu). It will take SEVERAL minutes after it reaches 99% (one took around 10) but it will eventually finish. Then go to preferences and turn off archiving. Installation should go just fine.
It's a weird problem because my system at home WILL archive during an install but the one at the office always fails and ask to restart Impulse.

Just tried Impulse to do this as well and I've yet to get passed archiving anything for the past month now.

Ah...that makes sense then, but I think that's IE's fault, not WB.

But we continue to support SDC for those who insist on continuing to use it for now.
Oh, OK....I'll pretend I'm not still using SDC....
