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.

To view a full library of free and purchasable WindowBlinds skins, visit Wincustomize.

Just tried Impulse to do this as well and I've yet to get passed archiving anything for the past month now.

Do your archive separately (right click menu). It will take SEVERAL minutes after it reaches 99% (one took around 10) but it will eventually finish. Then go to preferences and turn off archiving. Installation should go just fine.

It's a weird problem because my system at home WILL archive during an install but the one at the office always fails and ask to restart Impulse.

Ah...that makes sense then, but I think that's IE's fault, not WB.

You can skin the IE7 forward and back arrows on XP.

But we continue to support SDC for those who insist on continuing to use it for now.
Oh, OK....I'll pretend I'm not still using SDC....

It looks like, after a successful install with ??? after a rather unsuccessful one with ???????, I shall have to take my place at the wicket with an Australian.
