WindowBlinds 6 Beta Released

Available to Object Desktop Subscribers

Published on August 3, 2007 By Alexandra In WinCustomize News

Stardock is pleased to officially announce that the beta of WindowBlinds 6 is now available for users of Object Desktop. WindowBlinds 6 represents a whole new generation of Windows skinning with advanced new features such as animation overlays, blur glass effects on both Windows Vista and Windows XP, user created sub-styles, full font control, explorer backgrounds, complete Windows Vista skinning, faster performance, and much more!

The final WindowBlinds 6 will include 5 brand-new skins created by Stardock Design (a team up of many of the top skinners of all time including the Pixtudio team and Skinplant teams combined) to help demonstrate some of the new skins.

More features and information will be released as the beta moves forward.

If you don’t have Object Desktop, visit www.objectdesktop.com to get it.

More info and screenshots found here.

And make sure you re-add that reg file PurrBall is talking about. Every time you uninstall, you are probably removing that service.

His problem has nothing to do with the service. If it did, it wouldn't open WBConfig and would ask him to reboot.

in the previous version i think i already had the ability to change the font

You did....but it was all or nothing. It overrode ALL the fonts, but in WB6 you can change each pre-set font through the WB config instead of opening the skin in SKS.

Doh!

Won't work with my system because it doesn't support Vista 64 yet.

Any word on when support will be added?

Thank you.

You must uninstall WB 5.5 before installing WB6. SDC will prompt to uninstall it if you try to install WB6.

The Vista sidebar, even when skinned by WB6 still makes the background behind rounded taskbars a solid colour.

Using the Diamond skin now, I've got to say I'm impressed.
