WindowBlinds 5

[Brendan]

I torrented the program but havent taken the plunge yet. Would anyone that uses it tell me about it? I'm a little worried about my resources since im running on 512 right now but aside from that it looks like an amazing programz3r.

Edit: nevermind. I got it and I'm in love

Its a pretty good program, basically, you chose one of the preset ones, or download a new theme and click apply, its really easy to use and can make things look a lot nicer. As for resource usage, I don't think it uses very much, it doesn't make an impact on me when I'm playing games with that running, although I've got 1MB. But I still don't think it uses up much. Its definantly worth a try.

windowblinds 5 is a piece of crap. dont use it.

[REINER]

Resource hog and you can do the same thing with a simple file patch.

[tumples]

i used it and it was a tad too slow for me although it was on a decent laptop

[angry armadillo]

these things are way too unstable

[PepsiMetal]

I'm running it fine it's only using like 500 KB of my memory. Running in the background of course. Amazing program.

[Brendan]

Whah? really it doesnt seem that bad to me. what do you guys do instead?

[something erotic]

This is way too slow for my computer. Not as good as I thought.

whats the difference from 4.5?

[Ephemeral]

I'm fine with window's default stuff.

I'm more concerned with a stable, running OS rather than looks.

I have been tempted to get it a few times though.

A few transparent toolbars/start menus..plus some of the borders of windows for some themes have a little clear border to them

I use Style XP. It's cool and you can set it to not use any system resources. It uses about 5 of RAM when using a skin and that's it. It cost $10 for 1000 downloads of your choice from Theme XP to stock it. And of course it comes with several themes and icon packages already. Or the stuff can be had for free from Theme XP, but it comes with an ad. The only thing that makes it use resources is if you fiddle with the program a lot. Then it does raise RAM usage. So as you are learning how to use it you might notice that. Also in the days after initial install. But other then that it's great. Not a resource hog at all. So if you can find it on a torrent I would recommend it. Examples:

I tried windows blinds. I didn't find it that special, or awesome. So then I uninstalled it.
