Why is There no Blur Effect in WindowBlinds on 8.1?
Friday, December 7, 2018 by VampireFox2 | Discussion: WindowBlinds
So I noticed on 8.1 there's no blur effect for any of the themes, not even an option in the theme settings similar to what it was on 10. Does WindowBlinds use the built in Aero effect from Windows? Maybe that's why because they removed Aero completely from 8.1?

Lol I guess I'll just install 10 on my laptop instead. I was going to try to make 8.1 look as close to 7 as possible but having no blur mixed with the transparency just doesn't work. Windows 8.1's functionality as far as the control panel, traditional apps etc. make it more like 7. I hate the universal apps.

Aesthetically AND Functionally, Win 8 and 8.1 were both inferior to 7, so much so it was often suggested MS felt a need to avoid close association with them and jumped past a 'Win 9' straight to 10....
