Stardock WindowBlinds v5.10 Enhanced

Key features:
· Excellent application compatibility. Because Stardock has had years to tune WindowBlinds for compatibility, WindowBlinds has excellent compatibility. How good? Ask Microsoft, Nintendo, nVidia, ATI, and many others who have licensed WindowBlinds to release additional visual styles.
· Top Notch Performance. WindowBlinds uses the graphics acceleration features of today’s video cards to accelerate visual styles.
· Tight Integration. WindowBlinds is so tightly integrated into Windows XP (and Windows 2000) it can even skin the Windows command prompt. Only WindowBlinds makes this possible.
· Native. WindowBlinds doesn’t “skin” over the Windows GUI. Instead, it actually handles the painting for the application. This allows WindowBlinds to skin virtually every control. On Windows XP, for example, WindowBlinds can actually stylize more controls on more programs than the bundled msstyle engine
· WindowBlinds 4 also now skins virtually every aspect of the Windows GUI that one can imagine. And in fact, the enhanced visual styles used by WindowBlinds can skin things previously not thought to be skinnable such as logon/logoff dialogs, the “please wait” dialog, backgrounds in the Control Panel and other special folders, and more.
· WindowBlinds also comes with clean and easy configuration dialog. Users can still control their WindowBlinds enhanced visual styles from the display properties dialog, but the WindowBlinds configuration makes it easy to manage dozens of skins, sort them by category, and configure it to their liking.
· WindowBlinds gives Windows XP users, for the first time, a say on how big their Windows XP start bar is. Now users can set how big they want their Start bar to be.
· WindowBlinds visual styles support skinning additional small aspects of the Windows XP user interface such as mouse-overs on the Start menu.
· WindowBlinds supports a feature called “Hyperpaint”. This is different from “Smart Paint”. Hyperpaint uses the extra video RAM on your video card to “buffer” your windows which makes moving them on screen possible without any repainting.
· WindowBlinds lets users define what double clicking and right clicking on the title bar do. This can translate into significant productivity gains for users as they can perform various actions with a single or double click to the title bar.
· Stardock Skincast is a way for users to add new visual styles to Windows right from the appearance dialog or WB Configuration dialog. It automatically downloads the week’s featured visual style and installs it.
· WindowBlinds can change the color of any visual style on the fly. While there are thousands of existing WindowBlinds visual styles, this feature allows users to take those visual styles and tune them to their own tastes visually. The same is true about gamma adjustment and even gray scale. A user can even invert the colors of a visual style.
· WindowBlinds allows users to have different visual styles on different applications.
· WindowBlinds can skin non-theme aware applications. Windows XP is designed to only fully skin “theme aware” programs. But WindowBlinds 4 can skin even non-theme aware applications fully while still maintaining a high level of compatibility.
· WindowBlinds enables users to change the Windows progress animations to one of their choice. Users can even mix and match their visual styles and their animations.
· WindowBlinds can change the toolbar icons of Internet Explorer and Explorer.
