Running WindowBlinds without the theming service

Ok - I searched for this, but I couldn't find how to word this when I tried to search it.

Anyway, if I turn off my XPs Theming Service and install WindowBlinds, will WindowBlinds still be able to theme? I want to know before I actually attempt to do this.

Thanks.

It worked for me. So I can only assume yes.

Yeah, I'm almost certain WB will still work. Honestly though, it wouldn't hurt to try, as it's completely reversable!

You dont have to turn if off though to make windowblinds work- im switching between WB5 and vs all the time- just unload WB before selecting vs skins and before selecting WB skins i load first the standard window classic theme

I know, but it will be a great idea to turn off the theming service and apply WindowBlinds to save RAM. Because WB + Theming Service = RAM Killage.

So that's why I brought this question up. :P

it will save some ram but how much who knows - depends on your setup. some people on other forums how posted that they saw a great performance gain and others none. i haven't noticed any but then again i have 2 gb of ram. i haven't run the service in over a year.

to answer your question: windowblinds will work just fine without themes service.

I've been running mine that way for some months now.

I'll also add one to the WB w/o XPthemeService, works great camp.
