WindowBlinds 3 fully skins Windows XP WindowBlinds 3 Turbo-charges the Windows XP visual style engine! WindowBlinds 3 not only makes Windows 98, ME, and 2000 into fully skinnable operating systems, on Microsoft Windows XP, WindowBlinds is able to take advantage of the new visual style engine. Microsoft gave Windows XP a whole new look but gave customers the ability to switch back to the 'classic' look. But to do that, they developed what is called the Windows XP visual style engine.

With it, users can quickly and easily switch between Windows XP style and classic style. WindowBlinds embraces much of that engine and then extends it. Here are several key advantages of using WindowBlinds: • Lets Windows XP use more visual styles • Adds true skinning to Windows XP • Superior application compatibility • Provides a Native, Microsoft certified solution to customizing Windows XP • Can make skins any color you choose • Full Clear Type support and full control over it. • Smaller footprint than a visual style Advantage 1: Lets Windows XP use more visual styles By default, Windows XP only comes with a single visual style (known appropriately as Windows XP style). By default you cannot add more. However, with WindowBlinds 3, you can. WindowBlinds 3 allows Windows XP to treat Stardock's.UIS skins as native visual styles which can be applied right along side Microsoft certified visual styles.

Advantage 1: WindowBlinds 3 makes it easy for users to add/delete/edit more visual styles. Advantage 2: Gives Windows XP the ability to support true skinning What exactly does this mean? There are many definitions of what 'Skinning' is but the consensus is that a skin gives the user as well as the skin author to dramatically alter the look and feel of a given user interface.

Microsoft rightly calls their new look a 'style' because it is just that - a style. The parts of the user interface look different but controls can't be moved, the overall look can't be much changed. By contrast, WindowBlinds can provide true skinning, this is where the user can greatly affect the user interface as well as the skin author. Consider these examples: Hard to believe that these are all running on Windows. But true skinning means that the skin can add additional features to the GUI (clocks, roll-up buttons, MP3 players, whatever). It also means more basic things like being able to move buttons, have different shaped borders and edges. In short, it means letting the user SKIN the OS.

Stronghold Crusader 1.2. Advantage 3: Superior application compatibility When Microsoft designed Windows XP, they decided that it would be better to not apply visual styles to existing applications (aka 'non theme aware applications'). The net result is that as any Windows XP user knows, most applications are not fully stylized by Windows XP. In contrast, Stardock's experience in this area means that all your applications can be skinned. For example, if you want Office XP to look and feel more like Windows XP style, you need WindowBlinds 3.

Eventually most applications will be theme aware but that will take a long while and many applications (such as Delphi apps) are going to have to be modified (WindowBlinds handles Delphi apps fine). On applications that refuse to get along, WindowBlinds provides an easy to use exclusion function that allows users to exclude all or just parts of a given application. A picture is worth a thousand words. Take a look at these two screenshots. One is Windows XP running the default 'Windows XP blue' style. The other one is the same system with WindowBlinds 3 installed.
