Posted by admin under Software

WindowBlinds is a utility for Microsoft Windows XP that enables users to change the look and feel of the Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI). Users customize Windows by using visual styles (skins) created for WindowBlinds. With these skins, WindowsBlinds can change the look of Title bars, borders of a window, Task bars, scrollbars, Start button, Start panel, menus, Progress animations, Toolbar icons, Explorer Views, and virtually every other part of Windows! WindowBlinds is the only program that can customize the GUI of WindowsXP without having to alter system DLLs.
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. WindowBlinds has been tested to ensure it works with Windows Vista, so you know it is compatible, reliable, and more secure.
