It’s a good week for WindowBlinds users as we have another Master WindowBlinds skin released on WinCustomize!  This one is called BlueFrost and is from basj, who has also been turning out some great skins recently.  Soft colors and a minimal design makes this a great all-around skin.  It’s designed for Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1.  Be sure to grab this one today, and if you are a WinCustomize Subscriber you get a 20% discount.

Back around March, we had a very successful community project done called Metall Tech.  After a rough start while trying to pin down the main skin, it all worked out and the authors here stepped up as usual and finished a beautiful suite of sk...

One of the things that really caught my eye with this WindowBlinds skin is the color.  It really stands out but the contrast with the darker colors is nearly perfect and overall it's just a fantastic looking skin from LightStar.  If you haven't already downloaded it, head over and do it now.  I recommend adding this to your WindowBlinds skin collection today.
