This is a quick comparison I made up with default settings.

Any chance you could show the left hand side of the titlebar so I can see how it affects the text?
 I think the biggest difference between Vista themes in XP, and the real Vista, is the readability of the titlebar text, which in XP can get a bit 'lost' against the background. In Vista it has a sort of white glow around titlebar text to fix this. I am wondering if WB6 incorporates a similar effect, or if not, whether the new blurring effect will help to improve titlebar text readability.Vista: note the white glow around the text  Windowblinds 5.5, Windows XP, Aeroglass theme  Note how the text in the active window is completely lost against the text underneath it. I would love to know whether WB6 has fixed this before I pay out for it. If they do the same as they did with WB5.x, the trial version which they will release in future will not have per pixel capabilities so the only way to find out will be to buy it. |

WB6 has a "Vista-ize me" setting which will set transparency and blur to resemble Vista. Obviously, you can also manually configure the settings to your liking. |

I was wondering that, I assumed it was just the GUI for XP (not something I can check as I dont have it installed anymore). The full version was on the WB6 preview page when wincustomize announced it. |

God Bless Alexandrie!!!
And damn, the new UI of SKS and WB are Skinable!!! In the WB folder, you have the UI folder for the skin of WB and Skinstudio folder for the skin of SKS. It just need a possibility to put more than one skins and get a selector. Get SKS/WB skins included in the WB skin would be awesome also. |
