I see you changed the name of WindowBlinds to Visual Styles does that conflict with the other program called Visual Styles? As for the color of the website how about a color wheel that you can pick the color you want? It's a beautiful site can't wait to see it up and running.

There are no programs called visual styles. Visual styles refer to skins designed to change the look and feel of the actual GUI. WindowBlinds renames WindowBlinds (the program). We are just trying to slowly move towards having the sections describe what they contain.

I strongly feel that the "WindowBlinds" name should remain as it has achieved brand name status. This is an enviable position for WinCustomize and should not be diluted with a generic such as Visual Styles.

It's a great design though, but you should change the "Visual Styles" back to "WindowBlinds"

Unanimous...
Anyway, WinCustomize2 is looking good.
Hey, as far as the colomns are conserned, you think it would be to radical to have 2 small columns on the left and one wide one on the right? I have some of my Yahoo! Pages set up that way.
Or maybe the far right column somehow be placed... well, maybe another row of tabs on the top for it? and just have 2 or 3 right column items.

I too think "Visual Styles" should revert back to "Window Blinds" by the way.

Some of the sections dont work properly with Opera, or maybe thats just me!! 
the Newest Articles/Top Articles/Top Authors/Recent Tutorials section on the left is not fully displayed. It looks like the first 3-4 letters on each line has been removed. Also put my vote down for windowblinds 
, not vs 
!!

Everything seems to run perfectly in FireFox. Homepage colors look fine to me.
Please change it back to WindowBlinds
Adding more skins to the 'newest', 'update', etc would be a great idea.
Some way of knowing when the last comment was made on my skins, my articles, anything like that, would be a easy way for us to keep up with that kind of thing.
Very nice job on the new site guys. Much, much better.

Yeah, please change it back to WindowBlinds: Visual Styles are styles to be used with programs such as StyleXP... Windowblinds themes differ and have more features.

I like the new site but i have to say that i really don't like the colors.
About the gallerys names, my vote is to chage it back to Windowblinds too.

Lenders - Visual styles are skins for the GUI. Style XP doesn't do anythign with visual styles. It just patches a system DLL so you can use Microsoft's visual style format.
But all skins that change the overall Windows GUI are referred to as visual styles. But we have changed the name back to WindowBlinds to avoid confusion.
