It's jsut about here!

WindowBlinds 
5 arrives next Tuesday, November 29th! Here are the key details:
- Will support Windows XP (both 32bit and 64bit)
- Windows 2000, ME, 98 users will have to stay with WindowBlinds 4.6 because the new performance features are only available on XP and those performance features make possible the new per-pixel glass effects.
- It will be available on its own for $19.95 or as part of Object Desktop for $49.95.
- Users who purchased WindowBlinds 4 after September get WindowBlinds 5 for free.
- Other WindowBlinds 4 users will be able to upgrade for $15. WindowBlinds 4 came out in 2003, so the typical WindowBlinds customer has received over a year and a half of free updates (that's why they have an upgrade path and users who just got WindowBlinds automatically get WindowBlinds 5).
- A shareware version of WindowBlinds 5 will be available on Tuesday.

Seems the WB5 version just run fine (for now) on my PC, though anyone could tell about the best WB skins to notice the improvments (apart Vista XP) ?
Thanks
Thanks

Another missed oppertunity from Stardock I think. I have so many skins installed, some that I really liked but haven't used in forever. The new skins are all mixed in and I have to hunt and peck to find them. It would be nice if they were listed in the change log. The results I see when I choose Advanced and Sort by installed date seem inconsistant with what I recall (but that could be faulty recollection).
I have mixed feelings as a user, but a "Do you want to open the ReadMe.txt?" dialog might be a great chance to push THE skin (or skins) that has all the bells and whistles or exemplifies WB.
FWIW, Retro is new and looks great (but doesn't use any of the new features I don't think). Cyclops has glows on the buttons and some very cool animation a la' KITT or the original Cylons from Battlestar Galactica.
Great update though. No issues.
