I just can't, personnaly, justify spending money on a skinning/theming application when I can get all I need with a hacked dll and the basic msstyles. I will give to you the fact that the cost of WindowBlinds (and even all the StarDock applications together) are relatively inexpensive. Word and Photoshop offer alot more features and worth over the other two applications. I admit WindowBlinds has some impressive advanced features, and it gets really nice to use when used in conjunction with other StarDock applications (which I would have to pay for too if I wanted these features, so it kinda adds up), but comparing it to Word and Photoshop over Wordpad and Paint is a little too much. That's the biggest reason I don't use it, because I would have to buy the full version to get things that I already have with msstyles. Thanks to these websites that help me created this Windows 3.1's icon in PNG image: Windows 3.1x Icons Theme Plaza PNG to ICO converter: - Convert PNG to ICO Designed for these themes: Windows 3.

Yeah but the shareware version of WindowBlinds is limited in some pretty lame ways. DisplayFusion now reads the theme data from Windows in order to support hacked/customized themes. 1) Even the shareware version of WindowBlinds, which never times out, uses less memory, is faster, and skins more than msstyles and has more feature to boot.Ģ) For the same reasons people buy MS Word and Photoshop instead of sticking with Wordpad and MS Paint. When WindowFX 2.0 comes out, there will be another reason - if you're skinned using WB, then you can have REAL TIME lighting effects - WindowFX will let you put colored light sources on your desktop and WindowBlinds skins will be able to react to them in real time. With a user base estimated at around 10 million, WindowBlinds is used by both consumers and corporations who want to change the way the Windows user interface looks and feels. Take your favorite msstyles, for instance, like ChaNinja (that's my favorite), if it were a WB skin, I could go to a color palette and make it any color I want as a user.ģ) Key features such as always-on-top, roll-ups, ability to assign mouse buttons to perform different actions, per application skinning. WindowBlinds is the world's most popular desktop enhancement utility. Why would you use WindowBlinds when you can just patch uxtheme.dll and use msstyles for free?ġ) Even the shareware version of WindowBlinds, which never times out, uses less memory, is faster, and skins more than msstyles and has more feature to boot.Ģ) For the same reasons people buy MS Word and Photoshop instead of sticking with Wordpad and MS Paint. AFterall, we don't want to have to ask people to include DLL's and such with their skins. The shellstyle/tasks panel skinning is coming, just have to sit down and document the format and come up with a nice way of doing it.
