WindowBlinds 6.4 Released
Wednesday, February 11, 2009 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Stardock is excited to announce the release of WindowBlinds 6.4. Wind
owBlinds is an application that allows users to change the complete look and feel of both Windows XP and Windows Vista using skins, also called “visual styles”. WindowBlinds does not alter system files, so it’s completely safe to use, and it uses the latest in hardware acceleration features so it will not affect your PC’s performance.
Aside from just changing the visual style, WindowBlinds gives you control over them by allowing users to change the colors of the skin, adjust opacity and blur levels, change skin fonts, change Explorer window backgrounds, and much more.
What’s new and updated in WindowBlinds 6.4:
- Support for glass menu bars on Windows Vista
- Support for a different mouseover image on the right hand side of the Start Menu
- Control over the background color of the Start Menu "Programs" list
- Double clicking the top left of a per pixel window will now close it on Windows Vista
- Control over the search box text color & font
- Better control over the Start Menu fonts & colors
- New section to allow a custom mouseover image used on the "Programs" link on Vista versus the legacy solid color
- Start button overlay now supports animation
WindowBlinds is part of the Object Desktop suite of desktop enhancement, and is also available stand-alone for $19.95. Visit www.windowblinds.net for a free trial download.

I do not believe there are any skins currently using the new features. They only recently became available through SkinStudio 6.40 Beta.
We have to wait for the skinners. But I heard, "If you biuld it . . they will come."

They can't be implemented until the technology is there Asty.. new features don't skin themeselves. Perhaps a little patience wouldn't hurt. WB is constantly evolving and expecting every version to come with all new skins with every little feature included and updated is unrealistic.
In much the same way it's also incredibly time consuming to support legacy as the engine evolves too.
