I use it and Wb about 50/50. Obviously there are many, many more Wb skins available, but there are a few msstyles that I love and must use regularly.

I use StyleXp, because I don't like the way Windowblinds 'builds' itself on the windows. I like it to be in one piece when I log on.
With StyleXp, everything is in place as soon as I log on.
Yeah I know it picky, but what the hey.
Once that's fixed...maybe I'll go back.

WindowBlinds is the same way. It's skinned right when you logon.

You can lose your skin if your system is really taxed, though. On a slow system like mine, occasionally the classic window will show through. Perhaps that's what he's talking about. That's certainly not enough to make me stop using WB, though.

Frogboy/Tarkus : I'll have a revist then. It always seemed to take three seconds or so, seeing the classic/luna look briefly before. (That was on Win2k though last time I tried,)
Maybe it's because of other things loading [Zonealarm / Norton / Popup stopper / actual title buttons / then Xp 'services' of course]
I haven't a slow system, so it isn't because of that. I'll see how it goes.

I've contradicted my self there.
I used it frequently on Win2k, seeing the classic look briefly onload.
I've used it once maybe on winXp, seeing the luna look briefly. Then unloaded it straight away.
I'll give 3.4 a try.
planetmonkey trys to think before typing, often failing.

I reloaded 3.3 yesterday, but I couldn't even get the dang thing to load on startup. What the monkey's up with WB. I swear the used to be a little tick box.
or was that on Win2k?
I even tried putting wbload.exe in my startup folder to no avail.
So yet again I went back to StyleXP.
I'll try 3.4 tonight though,

Bah. It used to on win2k.
Ok, so the registered version of 3.4, will act [visually] EXACTLY like style XP?
will I see it 'build' the bitmaps on top on start up, or will it all be there nice and ready to go?
[Thanks for the responses]

I've never noticed it build on startup, but again, occasionally when my rather slow system with a PCI video card is really maxed out, I will lose the skins briefly. YMMV.

Using 3.4 with XP , processor is Intel P4 at 2.2 Ghtz. I never see it 'build' the bitmaps, it's instant, ready to go the split second I log on.

Actually WindowBlinds is vastly more advanced than msstyles (Style XP doesn't skin anything, it just hacks out the digital signing protection on msstyles). WB will skin virtually all your apps whereas msstyles can only skin "theme aware" apps fully.

It's just will not do nearly "enough" for me. If you just want another color other than blue, green, or silver then fine give it try. I need more!
