Or maybe not. I asked Tuba if this was OK, and she said it was.

Last night, Shayna introduced me to the following page:

It’s basically software that enhances the way windows looks, like skins for ICQ and WinAmp do, but then for Windows entirely. It is supercool! And highly addictive. I already downloaded over 100 skins! The program itself is only 1.3 MB, but be prepared to have some diskspace for all these cool skins you’re gonna download.

Have fun, and let me know what you think of it.

DISCLAIMER: Coldfire does not own any shares in WindowBlinds. All shares are held by a Cayman Islands based holding, ErifDloc Inc. ErifDloc is a wholly owned subsidiary of ClodRifle Ltd., based on the Isle of Man. Coldfire has no vested interest in ClodRifle Ltd., he is merely their business advisor on a freelance basis. So there :smiley:

Been using the Object Desktop for over a year now. How does that relate to windowblinds? Windowblinds is part of object desktop as well as being a stand alone. Object desktop has a number of nice subprograms that are also nice, not just windowblinds, but Control Center, Icon Packager, and Association Wizard. http://www.stardock.com Like Coldfire, am not connected to stardock, I just like their stuff.

It’s fun just on the test version.

I like the screens where the edges are “eaten away”, so they have a non-square shape.

Why are we still stuck with square windows as a standard?

Another “skin” system I’m addicted to is the skins that change your browser at NeoPlanet
