WindowBlinds 6 Beta Preview Video
Video demo on Windows Vista
Tuesday, August 7, 2007 by Island Dog | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Well the long awaited and much anticipated WindowBlinds 6 beta has recently arrived. With the arrival there have been many requests for additional screenshots and videos of the much talked about "Molten" animation. I created a video of some of the key features of WindowBlinds 6 that I think people will be very interested in. This video does not show all the new features, but it will give you a general idea of what WindowBlinds 6 is all about.
The video demo shows the following:
- Demonstration of the Molten skin start menu animation
- Ability to adjust transparency of start menu, window borders, etc.
- Using XP .msstyles on Vista and adding transparency
- Changing skins on the Vista Sidebar
This video was done on Vista, but I will make another soon showing off the skins in XP as well. Please note that WindowBlinds 6 is currently in beta, so things you see may or may not change upon final release. This is just a preview I wanted to give showing some of the really cool features.
Right now the beta is available to subscribers of Object Desktop.

But it would be nicer to be able to see the words to read what you on clicking on
and sound would be good too.
and move a little slower for us (me)newbies

OxygenHazard-1: If you mouseover the video you should see a > icon at the top right. If you click this it will play the video full screen and you can then see the options he is clicking on.
I have also made the video window in the initial post bigger as it was smaller than the video itself.

Great video. I was unaware of some of the new features, WB6 almost makes Vista usable 
It's nice to have those transparency settings. It means you can make a solid skin and add transparency without any fuss

varomix: WindowBlinds is designed to skin windows.
For other features you can use applications like WindowFX.

Its a little more than shading, WB is not a program to add weird squiggly effects, as Neil said its strictly for skinning the interface.
