A couple of days ago, Stardock released its latest update to WindowBlinds 11 with version 11.0.1.0. The latest release brings a major update that many long-time Windows lovers and enthusiasts would enjoy. The software development team has added a new "Windows Classic" skin which basically re-skins your Windows 10 and Windows 11 with the Windows 95 theme. The changelog mentioning this feature reads:
Added Windows Classic Skin
A preview of all available skins in WindowBlinds 11 is also provided as you can see in the image below:
The reskin looks pretty compelling overall. Here are a couple more examples, one with winver, and the other inside File Explorer:

We also include a few other sub-styles for the Win8 skin. These are the default, XP, Vista, and Windows 8 preset. This is not new and was already available previously.
