WindowBlinds 3.4 is a program that lets you completely customize the Windows GUI. The title bars, the borders, the buttons, the Start bar, scrollbars, radio buttons, etc.

WindowBlinds makes Windows 98, ME, and 2000 into fully skinnable operating systems. On Windows XP, it extends the native visual style engine to have new features and support thousands of WindowBlinds visual sytles on the net.

Version 3.4 is a significant update to WindowBlinds that includes the following new features:


1) The ability to inverse the colors of a window

2) SmartColoring(TM). Can now intelligently color visual styles that weren't designed to be colored. (enabled in the "advanced" dialog in the appearance tab).

3) Installable fonts - skins can include fonts now and WindowBlinds will install them for you.

4) GUI controls can now paint different different versions of that control depending on the size

5) Taskbar pop-up group menu skinned (Windows XP)

6) Mouse over states on radio buttons & checkboxes

7) Taskbar button has a flashing button state

8) Spin controls are now skinned

9) Start menu selected item can have its own background (rather than a solid color)

10) Display properties now skinned by default

11) Users can opt to skin only the title bars on non-theme aware applications

12) Microsoft Instant Messenger now skinned

13) Tree-view +/- buttons skinned

14) Windows Media Player now skinned (Windows XP)

15) Fixed compatibility problem with nVidia nView that caused WindowBlinds on certain Geforce cards to be very slow.

WindowBlinds 3.4 is part of Stardock's Object Desktop suite ($49.95). Users can also purchase it as a stand alone product for $19.95

Plus numerous other tweaks.

Ok ok, this may not be the right place to ask, but if I buy this "ODNT" for 50 bucks, does that entitle me to the updates of the apps until they reach another version, or until they reach the same x.z version as it was at when I bought it. By this I mean: If I bought ODNT now, would I get windowBlinds 4.4 for free, or only 3.9 or 4? Do I get 10 updates "free" or just up to the next major version release?

I'm still trying to decide whether or not to buy it... I want the advanced features, but I'm a cheap bastard. lol

You guys are great. I've used it from the beginning, and had always had an 'Well if it did this, it would be better.' mentality. This pretty much took care of all of that. You guys need a cookie

Will the flashing state for the taskbar button look right on an older version of Windowblinds?

This is fantastic btw... I'm really impressed with how much Windowblinds has grown to be so much more detailed, faster and more stable. Great job!

What Mozilla issues? I'm using it now and I see no problems.

Looking forward to seeing more skins using the full features of 3.4.

It even gets a mention in todays Lockergnome Windows Daily. A little quote from Chris Pirillo "In a word? AWESOME. Now, I've praised Stardock's software in the past, but they've really outdone themselves with this revision"

I have installed the new version 3.4 and I am having a problem on all my skins that are on my computer in skinning the Internet Explorer bar, does any one know why? Is their a "new coding" for the thumbnail on the scrollbar for IE only? Would appreciate any help..........

DavidK: You'll only see the flashing if you use 3.4.

Woodbridge, which Mozilla theme are you using? It works fine with Modern and a few others, but it doesn't work with Classic or KZilla or a few others that I've tried. Or, at least, the last few RCs didn't. I haven't actually tried 3.4 itself since they didn't say it was fixed in the release notes... maybe I should try it.
