WindowBlinds 7.3 Released!
Wednesday, October 12, 2011 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
WindowBlinds is a program that allows users of Windows 7, Vista, and XP to totally change the look and feel of the Windows GUI to anything they'd like by applying any of the thousands of free skins available. WindowBlinds 7.3 adds a Windows 8 skin along with a Metro skin (for registered users) as well as enhancing skinning support for Office 2010, bug fixes, and a number of other updates.
The enhanced version, which allows on-the-fly recoloring of skins and access to more enhanced skins is $19.95 or can be purchased as part of Object Desktop, Stardock's flag-ship suite of desktop experience utilities for $49.95.
Users can download WindowBlinds 7.3 at www.windowblinds.net.

I´ve updated my WB today, but the new WB works not correct with deskscapes 3.
Every time i apply a WB skin, my animated background freeze and i must open deskscapes and apply my dream again.
Sorry for my bad english.

Impulse told me the update was available, and to install through Impulse. Is it safe to try this method?

Thanks DrJBHL for the link. Everything I ever purchased is right there. Impulse 
.
I'm planning to renew my subscription for Object Desktop. I've been having strong fear that Windowblinds will not be a front runner when windows 8 is out, even worse, may not survive. Then again, my new subscription will end before windows 8 is out. 
I'll go for the renew No goodbye to Windowblinds yet

Thanks DrJBHL
More generally, how Object Desktop subscribers (with Impulse expired) who are not Wincustomize subscribers and/or who who are Wincustomize subscribers but don't come or don't see annoucements for new updates for OD products will be informed that there's updates avaible ??

As Impulse is over (it's just working till the end of current subscription period) i think you'd better download and install with self installer which you can find at the link given ... (as same as all your OD products ...)
P.S: what a pity ...

Not sure what caused this but...I just updated WindowBlinds and when my pc rebooted my screen brightness was reduced a bunch...almost like I just put on sunglasses...I rolled it back to the previous version and my brightness was restored.

downloaded the file, will probably wait for a few days before installing to see what transpires. (33 second download)

Hi Steve, didn't see that problem here, wonder if something else that you are running didn't like the WBs update.

Until our new app is ready, either by visiting WinCustomize, Twitter, or Facebook.

I updated mine to version 7.3 without a hitch. When I went to my account I was told to go to the Stardock Store, login and get the download from there. No problem.

PS: not very fan of W8 look..
