StarDock WindowBlinds v6.4 reviewed @ ITReviewed

Recommended Posts

Hi there!

 

 

 

We've just posted our latest review and would love it if you linked to it.

Thanks greatly!

 

"WindowBlinds is a cool program that gives Windows XP operating systems a

Vista feel. It also gives Vista users some bells and whistles to customise

the operating system to make it their own. Basically, WindowBlinds 6 takes

the new graphic capabilities of Windows Vista and places them on steroids.

Internet Explorer can also be skinned using the program. Best of all, Vista

users benefit from native hardware acceleration. All this goodness comes

with one big problem. Quality. By default, WindowBlinds ships with only a

few themes; finding other quality themes is a job in itself. Skinning can

present some weird problems, too, such as toolbars appearing wider than the

actual content of the window and font sizes looking odd - especially on the

widely-available free themes. There might be tons of choice out there, but

finding a quality theme that ticks all your boxes may be a struggle. That

is, unless you like fire breathing dragons, flames, or snowflakes falling

inside your titlebars. WindowBlinds is effective and highly customisable,

but if you're like me the novelty will soon wear off and you'll revert to

Vista's standard - and excellent - Aero interface."
