Windowblinds 5 Sensation!
Tuesday, April 1, 2003 by Fuzzy Logic | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Despite Windowblinds 4 being released this week, it was announced today Windowblinds 5 development is well under way. Unlike its predecessors Windowblinds 5 will use a new skinning technology called 'virtual skinning' to complete the Windows skinning experience.
Tired of that bland coloured monitor frame? Well Windowblinds 5 will use its vitual skinning technology to expand the skin outwards to cover the monitor frame. The skins will also employ smart buttons for those of you with monitor controls.
With the latest version of SkinStudio now available some of the top skinners are already working on WB5 skins.
It's not known yet if virtual skinning will extend to peripherals. A Stardock spokesman was unable to comment further.
More information to follow...

hrm, i dunno about peripherals. I have had some of those neoprene-gel wrist rests for teh keyboard and the mousepad, and they felt way too much like a coed in a wetsuit... I think anything more realistically skinned would be a distraction. Besides, if a 'peripheral' was larger than a handful, it would be a waste, right?
( On a side note, somehow the supposedly ergonomic headrests i had were actually cutting off circulation when I rested my wrists on them. No one realized, i guess, that there are some major blood vessels running through your wrist... reaaaaaaally well though out, those things. )

The year 3003. WB 521.442 will be released on 4/1/3003. It will typically be able to skin all inner human bio-tech internals and regulate the depleted oxygen content for generations to come. However, Frogboy the 438th has pointed out the it is still unable to change the color or thickness of the everyday cat or dog. Possibly in WB 522.443 or .444. >

MWuahahah WindowBlinds Ultra 85, the ability to skin the very sky itself.
secondly to that it has smart buttons for weather effects, such as monsoon,hurricane and snowblast.
and the very best part of all, skinning of the interior layer of your Cornea makking it possible for you to watch slideshows based off of playboy/playgirl centerfolds changing in self determined intervals.
IMHO!!!!!!

Apparently there are grumblings amongst the undead slayer community with all these WB updates.
Apparently vampires are now much harder to spot having been skinned and had a drop shadow effect applied.

(incidentally, the microphone skinned o.k. so I don't know why the webcam should give problems)
And I love the "finger-over" feature for the buttons on my monitor!
