Aqua-Soft ForumsWb 4 Alpha!
Stardock has released the first alpha of its next generation version of WindowBlinds. WindowBlinds is a program that can change the look and feel of the entire Windows GUI. It is available on its Object Desktop Network.
WindowBlinds 4 Alpha 1 has been released. Version 4 is a major rewrite of WindowBlinds that is designed to be much more low level than previous versions of WindowBlinds, use less memory, and skin a lot more.
The main features of WindowBlinds 4 include:
Skinning of the command prompt.
Skinning of pretty much every part of the Windows OS including the explorer task panes (shell styles), and many small areas that users may not have noticed before not being skinned but will almost certainly notice being skinned now.
Skinning of lots of dialogs and notices that Windows XP itself doesn't change normally such as the logoff screen, the transition dialog, and more.
Smart painting, a new technology that makes WindowBlinds much faster and in some cases almost as fast as running "classic".
The alpha only is available for Windows XP users. Subsequent builds will be released for other versions of Windows. It is currently only available on Object Desktop.
