WindowBlinds 6.2 Released

Get your skin on!

Published on July 23, 2008 By Island Dog In WinCustomize News

Stardock is pleased to announced the release of WindowBlinds 6.2 today. WindowBlinds is an application that lets users easily change their Windows interface by applying a new skin. These "visual styles" can be applied across the entire user interface (title bars, push buttons, start menu, taskbar, etc.) of the operating system. As a result, users gain complete control over the way Windows looks.

What's new in version 6.2:

Improved compression on start menu animations
Animated wait screens during Apply
Enhanced layer support (accompanied by skin author support in SkinStudio 6.2)
Bug Fixes

WindowBlinds is available in both a free version and a an enhanced version which adds many additional features like the ability to change color/hue/brightness on the fly, change toolbar icons of IE and Explorer, and much more. WindowBlinds is available as part of Object Desktop, Stardock's ultimate suite of desktop customization tools, or at stand-alone for $19.95.

More information can be found at www.windowblinds.net.

Great.
Now that that's done. Can we add a "glow" effect to the taskbar buttons. Like the Start button.
The skin I'm working on for the GUI Champs, needs a "glow" effect. Glyphs won't work.

You took the words right out of my mouth except, can they please be animated instead of glows.

Ross, you can use the new layer feature for glow images.... sort of. I wish there was control over a fading in and out.

Anyone up for, "I used Impulse and it downloaded with no problems".

It did work just fine.

They gotta get this fixed. SDC or Impulse? SDC or Impulse? SDC or Impulse? SDC or Impulse?.....this is causing too much confusion. Commit to one or the other and whichever one is chosen make sure it works before there are announcements of upgrades that ya can't even get!

Why announce a Window Blinds upgrade and then not release it for another week?!?! Who thought that was a good idea? If your going to say it's released then have it ready to go.

Hey mike b1954, sometimes I'm not sure if things work for me because I do something right or wrong.

I know it's not because I'm smart, maybe just lucky.
