username Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 i like to run as little 3rd party software as possible, i am just happy with my msstyles, even though they claim window blinds 3.4 is 100X faster lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

configure Veteran Posted July 25, 2002 Veteran Share Posted July 25, 2002 He can't create a poll now that the thread has been created (I think). If the thread author want to integrate a poll into this thread, let us know, we'll do that for you and move this to the Poll Station forum.

Guest deadzombie Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Digging into deadzombie's toolbox of evil, we see that Windowblinds 2->3.2 sucked diseased monkeys when compared to msstyles. However, WB 3.4 is faster, giving us old school WB fans the tasty goodness we've been longing for. I don't understand the 3rd party discrimination argument though. That's like saying you don't want Winamp to play your music, Nero to burn your Cd's or Photoshop to edit your images. If it wasn't for WB, I'd bet money MS wouldn't have added skins to WinXP. Anyone remember after XP came out and MS trotted Stardock around for a month or so? How quickly everyone forgets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krayzie15 Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 a long time msstyle user, i used msstyle ever since i started customizing windows xp but rescently started using Wb 3.4 for only one reason "Sosumi" i wanted to get the real look of sosumi into my desktop the buttons on the left big button on the right make it more perfect i like Wb 3.4 it doesn't run slow or nuthing for me i am running 4 stardock apps at all times and it still runs perfect but the only thing that would make Windowsblinds better is if it customized everypart of windows like msstyle msstyle customizes alot more then WB i wish wb would do everything msstyle did and more that would make wb perfect just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ericsson Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Do you know when it will be released? I'd rather use wblinds, but I'm stuck with msstyle just because wblinds skins all suck. If either Sosumi or E-platino was ported to wblinds, I would totally switch. I personally think wblinds is faster than msstyles and also skins almost every program.

MaxPayne1357 Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 I prefer msstyles for pretty much the same reasons everybody else has. Main reason is that its free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
