WindowBlinds 5.0

Customize the look and feel of Windows XP with WindowBlinds. It's a Windows utility that enables users to personalize nearly every aspect of the Windows graphical user interface. It can "skin" your title bars, push buttons, Start bar, radio buttons, and nearly every other part of Windows. There are thousands of freely available skins to choose from. Use WindowBlinds to make Windows look like another operating system (Mac, Linux, etc.) or give it your own unique look and feel. You can also create your own skins using the freely available SkinStudio. WindowBlinds eliminates the need for any stay-resident program making it use virtually no extra memory. It also makes use of hardware acceleration found on most nVidia and ATI cards resulting in an overall performance increase.

WindowBlinds 5 also supports per-pixel alpha blending allowing for "glass" effects, semi-transparent titlebars/borders, smooth borders. This means that title bars, borders, menus and other User Interface elements seamlessly blend in to what is around them. Glassy skins, skins with very smooth edges, and irregularly shaped menus and other pieces become possible.

A trial version is available for download. Users can purchase it stand-alone for $19.95 or as part of Object Desktop, Stardock’s premiere suite of desktop enhancement programs that let you customize Windows to look, feel and function how you want it to. Object Desktop is only $49.95 and includes RightClick, WindowBlinds, DesktopX, IconPackager, ObjectBar, WindowFX, SkinStudio and much more!
