Window Blinds Q For A 98

Hi all:

I already had every possible customization added to my 98 machine, such as mandotate (for transparency effects), phile(for icons), and IE Toolbar app (for skinning both explorer/internet E task/toolbars), panarama (background changer), CustomEyes (Frames), and as many as that all seems they work together relatively great with no issues: 512 Mb memo system/1200Mhz CPU.

So that being said i give WB an install to try and see if it might be capable to pick up some of those tasks in one single program.

The problem i am seeing is that WB refuses to add "custom frames" to any of the windows at all and is the main reason i was considering it. Is there a dll that i have not moved to a certain location, or registered, or is WB not able to apply the nice frame trimmings that i see others have. Is this because of a 98 issue? CustomEyes does a fanatastic job at applying those.

Thanks:

  Get windows 2000 with that system, or even xp 

Well, thanks for the reply but that still doesnt answer the question about WindowBlinds on a 98. If it can't be done i'm good with that, but if there is

something im missing with configuring it, some concrete response either way would be better.

Oh, and btw, i already have XP on other drive.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.

      You could disable this "functionality/feature/whatever" with 2 registry keys, ages ago.
