When to check WindowBlinds 6 features while uploading?

What are those features that makes a skin WindowBlinds 6 ready/only?

While uploading the blind, I decided to leave the WindowsBlinds 6 checkbox unchecked because
- I didn't know if it meant WindowBlinds 6 only (Works only with WindowBlinds 6) or WindowsBlinds 6 ready (Works on WindowBlinds 6 as well as older ones.) I thought there was an ambiguity in descriptions on the upload and download pages.
- I didn't know what are those features that make it a WindowBlinds 6 only/ready.

Can someone please enlighten me? Is there a place where I can check whenever there is a new release, to find out what are the new skinning features and how to use them?

I don't know if it will help much but similar questions were asked in
this article.

There doesn't seem to have ever been a definitive answer.  :NOTSURE:

Thanks pictoratus. I am just going to list what I got from that thread.

Windows Vista supported skins mean ones that have been tested on Windows Vista and work fine (i.e. the Start menu on Vista works without problems and so forth).

WindowBlinds 6 skins would be ones that skin the IE7 controls and the Vista explorer controls (at a minimum) and ideally support explorer backgrounds and advanced animations.

That's all it is I guess.

It does seem to be up to the discretion of the skinner as to whether he checks off on WB6/Vista support at the time of upload.

Don't think there are any Windowblind Police to keep everyone on the up and up ...  ;)

Mods can do a quick check I think. I wasn't sure at the time and now I know my blind do not have those features.

Just be sure the have the Vista compatable icon on the screenshot and all should be fine.
