I wanted to post an update for some of the recent WindowBlinds skins that have been posted to WinCustomize lately.

Not really a fan of WB on Windows 7, used to use it on XP

1998: Stardock release WindowBlinds a really decent skinning tool
2011: Finally a theme that uses the above engine but doesn't look like it was designed by a blind person

My point being: I like WindowBlinds, but the content has always been terrible. Now these skins are the first ones that I have any interest in seeing. I hope Stardock take note that people like these more minimal skins now :)

nor they even pretend to be interested in supplying documentation and needed upgrade to this tool ! Such a waste as great skins could have been made....

Agreed. But it has seemed from day 1 that WinXP themes have attracted much more capable interface designers than Stardock's app for whatever reason. Strange, and a shame!
