Sneak Preview of WindowBlinds 4.3
Monday, April 26, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
WindowBlinds 4.3 is nearly ready. One of the new features is skin changing morphing. That is where going from one skin to another now smoothly morphs into the other.
Here is a link to a video that displays it. You'll need Windows Media Player 9 to view it.

Will this version fix the scrollbar redraw problem with windows 2000?

Interesting effect, but not all that useful. Ah well, eye candy is good too.

It caught me by suprise when I noticed WB doing that when I switched skins (I love subscribing to Object Desktop!). It morphs very smoothly. Very nice piece of eye candy.

off topic i know but is there any reason why all the icon packager sets have become version v2.5 only?. A sales drive maybe?

Icon Packager 2.5 includes security to stop others stealing the format

It might morph the skins but it still takes forever to do so.

Another off topic. Is there any chance we will see colourisation off Desktop Backgrounds. The Change Skin Colour support in Windowblinds is now excelent. It would bew nice to be able to change colour of the backgrounds to match.

Ouch, I imagine that would take awhile to download Vimal.
Looks awesome Brad! There is a reason why WindowBlinds is the best.

Ah, yet another beautiful but completely useless feature.
Very well done though!

Looks nice. 
Will 4.3 include bug fixes as well as the morphing? If so is there any release notes so I can check if the bug I have (the one in which I can not chnage the skin on the command window) is fixed?

So that's why WB hangs for ages now and then I have to reload it to show the skin? Nice eye-candy, but doesn't work properly for me.
