WindowBlinds description
Allows you to completely change the look and feel of Windows
WindowBlinds is a program that allows you to completely change the
look and feel of Windows to however you want it to look like.
WindowBlinds allows you to completely customize your desktop
look by changing the style of title buttons, bars and toolbars. You
can change the look of buttons and check boxes by assigning them
skins, or personalities, and you can assign buttons that will
launch programs to toolbars.
You can create your own skins, choose from the four that are
included in the program, or download additional ones. You can also
choose to exclude certain programs from WindowBlinds if you don`t
want to change their appearances.
Applying visual styles : In addition to the shortcut to the
WindowBlinds Advanced Config window in your Start menu, you can
change WB visual styles and settings from either the Skins or
Appearance tab in Display Properties.
Set the skin to Windows Classic to not use a WB skin on startup
(or use the options on the Skins tab or in the Advanced Config
window).
Be sure to check out www.WinCustomize.com to select from over
3200 free visual styles.
WindowBlinds has been designed and tested to be as compatible
with with thousands of applications and pieces of hardware
available. Its memory load is quite low (unless you are using
complex skins with lots of animation) and any oddities with
specific apps can generally be worked around quickly (see the
