Wondering about WB 4 ???
Thursday, February 13, 2003 by elvee | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Is WindowBlinds 4 Supposed to be able to skin every aspect of Windows GUI? I already know it is faster and uses less resources than Windows default GUI. So being a very complete GUI Skinning program, How could it be better in future versions?
elvee thought of this all by hisself
Yep! he sure did

"a full fledged shell/Windows Manager replacement with cross platform abilities" by Iplural
Hey, thats a good idea! But i don't think that will happen, unless they cut loose from Microsoft

Perhaps they could improve on the skins themselves, and make it easier for people with little computer knowledge to make a skin.

Never know
Microsoft it self might come to the conclusion that such a thing wouldn't be such a bad thing for them to be a part of. I mean with Brads and his teams history and Stardocks history with success, customer satifaction, the thought of being a part of a new Windows Manager which skinned and or could apply theme's, bar's, dock's, to Linux and all applications run on the Box?
Now I think that could very well take OpenSouce buy storm might be a really, really positive thing in Microsofts mind.
Just a sideways, upside down, inside out thought, but made me go hummmmmm
ah, just a niggle of a thought, anyways
Jafo is going to beat me about the ear's with a rolled up and taped version of LiteStep !

cross platform? there´s no money to make in that business. everything except CDE (rather fugly) is free there ...
BlackBox i the fastest thing around and Enlightenment is mightier than WB. note: i am aware that WB skins more (scrollbars, etc ...) on the Windows platform, but we are talking about Window Manager functionality.

It might even step out of the box and become a full fledged shell/Windows Manager replacement with cross platform abilities at one point depending on their goals and future brain storming
