I calculate the odds of eventual purchase at precisely a gazillion to one captain.

I would like to first apologize to all you kind people on here. I was doing research on that Style XP and you guys were right. It was a "trial version" I was using and I uninstalled it from my PC and registered WB4. There are a couple skins that I enjoy using on here, but Style XP had something similar, I thought was free and being cheap, I went that route. That was a mistake so I decided to register WindowBlinds and now I am happy. But I am sorry for making myself look like an idiot before. I started this thread as kind of a joke - I am deeply embarrased. I hope I didn't make too many ememies on here.

No worries, Oil2003, most people won't even remember this thread in about 5 minutes from now
Glad to hear that you registered. I'm sure Windows looks a lot better with all its parts skinned (shareware of WB doesn't have full features).

StyleXP isn't a 'program'...it's an unauthorized dll hack that enables the use of simplistic unsigned veriations of the default Window GUI look...nothing more.
Check my profiele picture, Made this for a customer in styleXP (please dont bann me, I really did try to make him order WB for his hole company
)oh, and liteSTEP, thats a program?

Style....yes, like I said...variation of the default...
This shot shows one of mine....very odd shape...buttons on left and roll-up in use......all stuff that defeats styleXP's capabilities.
And yes, LiteSTEP IS a program....it's Litestep.exe and has specific dll's to function with it....just like any 'decent' shell would...

Styl, you don't understand. The "program" StyleXP is actually more like WinStyles. It is simply an interface that lets you apply msstyles skins, shellstyles, and wallpaper all at once. It doesn't actually skin anything though. That is all handled by the hacked msstyles .dll. WindowBlinds, on the other hand, actually handles all the skinning on its own.
Also, there is no freeware version of StyleXP. You can get the hacked .dll alone for free, but the "program" is shareware, which expires and becomes non-functional after a given period of time.

could be, I have 'patched' the uxtheme.dll (or something) Working great at the time, when the theme I am working on at the moment is done I will try to get permissions to port it to WB and put it up for download.
BTW: do I need that 'permissions' as I am still the official owner for it?
