WindowBlinds 5 now available!
Start personalizing Windows!
Tuesday, November 29, 2005 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Stardock has released WindowBlinds 5 to the public today. WindowBlinds allows users to completely alter the look and feel of the Windows interface by applying visual styles (skins) to title bars, buttons, the Start bar, borders and more. Consumers customize nearly everything else in their environments: their cars, homes, clothing and cell phones are based on their personal preferences and needs. With WindowBlinds 5, users can now make their Windows desktops look and feel the way they want.
WindowBlinds 5 introduces a broad range of new features, including per-pixel alpha blending, resulting in smooth or glassy title bars and borders that realistically distort the content behind them; as well as the ability to change toolbar icons, progress animations and the hue and saturation of the Windows interface.
With over over 8 million users worldwide, WindowBlinds 5 is the most popular desktop-enhancement utility of all time according to CNET’s Download.com where it recently passed the 9 million download mark. It is also used by companies such as Microsoft, ATI, nVidia, Alienware, Nintendo and many others to provide custom Windows user interfaces for their customers.
WindowBlinds 5 is $19.95 as a stand-alone program or for $49.95 by purchasing Stardock’s award-winning Windows enhancement suite, Object Desktop. A shareware version of WindowBlinds is available for free download.

Candice Barbe: When it starts to become slow, please open taskmanager, go to the processes tab. Then on the view menu pick Select Columns, tick USER Objects, GDI Objects & Handle Count.
Then press ok.
Now does any one app running have a high number of any of those?

WindowBlinds does support multiple accounts.
It sounds like her account does not have read/write access to the WindowBlinds directory. You need to give her account this access or WindowBlinds will not work correctly.

I don't recall WB being "free" at any time. The non-purchased version was and is: "shareware" which is: "Copyrighted software that is available free of charge on a trial basis, usually with the condition that users pay a fee for continued use and support."

Or without the trouble pay up and have as long as you want.
Well since i payed $20 for WB4 i'll use that since you get the themes. Not worth paying another $15-$20 to get a new which is only the glass thing then. OK I'm finnished in this post topic.

Edit: The name of the skin I'm using is Aura.
Edit 2: I just tried 5imple Alpha and it seems to be alright. So it must be a problem w/ the Aura skin.
