PocketBlinds!?!?

Monday, March 11, 2002 by Frank Leon | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

So when are they going to release this program? How does it compare to Gigabar and Wisbar? Why should I use PocketBlinds instead of those programs?

Pocket blinds is already released in beta form, which you may already be aware. This product allows you to fully customize all buttons and place them on the bar where you want. I also works like windowblinds and integrates with operating system instead of working on the surface. I does not seem to take up as much ram as gigabar and doesn't slow down the system like some have reported with the others. You can turn it off if you want and you can sve multiple skins on your system and easily change between them.

I am using it on a Casio EM-500 with no problems. Hope this helps. I have designed two skins which were challenging but great fun. Check them out.

PocketBlinds skins more of the PocketPC than Gigabar or Wisbar. It skins not only the titlebar, but also all buttons throughout the OS and the menubar (so far). It also supports plugins (like clocks, special buttons, volume controls). As GTNTP said, titlebar skinning is truly freeform. You are not restricted to having the buttons in a certain place, etc. Just some of the things that attract me to it.
