Style-XP vs Windowblinds
Sunday, January 26, 2003 by Lord Vimal | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
i just dont know why there is a BIG competetion between these programs. so many say: STYLE-XP is better than WB. but i just dont see style-xp do anything. you can call style-xp as a THEME-APPLYER and not a SKINNING program like windowblinds. you can see from the very fact that nVidia, Nintendo and even Microsoft has certified Windowblinds. windowblinds does things in a hard way. hooking on to the system and bitblting bitmaps or whatsoever 
. even after u have applied a theme, you can UNLOAD style xp and still the theme is running!
but tgtsoft has made a useful program which can edit .msstyles in an easy way whick could otherwise be done using a resource-hacker program.
so, for all of you TROLLS (ref Shmoopy) out-there, understand how Style-XP is NOTHING compared to Windowblinds.
hey, can the so called STYLE-XP skin the log-off screens?
also, the windowblinds visual styles are smaller in size than the hefty .msstyles...
a great THANKS
to STARDOCK for making windowblinds...i just LOVE it!

I just want to add that style xp won't wont work with the next versions of windows... so someone is out some money... when longhorn comes out, but windowsblinds will, and I wouldn't download any service packs if I had style xp, cause they will kill it too... style xp is hack, and why pay for it... their is a tutorial at virtual plastic on how to hack the msstyles anyways so someone really got screwed on that deal... I just blew their big secret huh?? anyone can hack the system for FREE

... and with the new Ph00eyBlinds 1.5 Custom Colour feature, you too can colour Ph00ey whatever colour you may desire!

Give credit where it's due, some of the earlier StyleXP themes were very well done.
'Tallyhawk' comes to mind ..... but nothing else!
Oh well, one out of several hundred is about par for that course.

but remember style xp is just a hack into some windows files, you can do that your self for free.... and skins will still work with your home made hack so why even get the program??
so why even get the program??
