There is a way, as certain corporate skins have been distributed with&nbspa lite&nbspversion of Windowblinds packaged with it. But it wass for big projects, and Stardock programers were involved in packaging it.

Well, one Gig is really nice. But if you can't affort it, definately consider 512 Megs as I said. I have 512 on my laptop and I'm not having any problems whatsoever. Of course, the more the better, but I say that 512 is the minimum for an enjoyable experience with XP.

Sylvain, malheureusement ce n'est pas possible.

Reply to blinds, sysmatrix those thing slowing down my system .... any suggestion?? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

What is slowed down exactly? You said it takes time to load Windows? Meaning booting is longer? Or even once it's booted it's still slow? BTW: I know you don't want to hear it, but 256 Megs of RAM is the bare minimum to run XP. A big chunk of it is used by the OS itself, which leaves you only the remaining crumbs to actually get things done. You hard disk must be swapping like crazy. An advice: upgrade to 512 and you won't believe the speed difference you'l

Before you an hope to get your user level raised based on your future skins, you got to expect to spend at least 500 to 1000 hours of hard work making those skins. On the other hand a subscription is only 20$.&nbsp How much an hour is your time worth? &nbsp Maybe you should listen to WOM.

All right then, have WB configured that when loading a skin that uses alpha blending it displays a warning message "Notice: this skin uses transparency features that may impact on system performance, especially on older cideo adapers". About Web Explorer: Great for tabs! But please have a popup blocker too in it, don't rely on the fact that SP2 already has that feature, as a lot of us don't have SP2 and nor do they want it... Or, will Web Explorer support 3rd party IE toolbars, such as Googl

OK, after some checking, I found that it depends on the skin. Some skins are fine, while some do as your screenshot. Now I'm stumped, no clue why. There doesn't appear to be a way to exclude a display property window from WB. With this skin, it's fine. <IMG alt="" hspace=0 src="ht

Thornz, I hear you.

I would just disable WB the odd times my computer starts coughing and hacking... The reason, I'm really in favor of implementing it into WB and not just as a better WinF/WB i
