Dragon visual style shows off the power of WindowBlinds
Friday, March 14, 2008 by Frogboy | Discussion: WindowBlinds
The new Dragon visual style from Stardock Design doesn't just look great, it's fast. For most users, Dragon makes Windows faster than the default look of either Windows XP and especially Windows Vista. On top of that, it has stunning animation on the Start menu at full 30fps. And did we mention it does this without slowing down your PC? This is what happens when you develop a technology that integrates seamlessly into the native Windows display engine while taking advantage of advances in video drivers (both ATI and nVidia).
Designed by Stardock Design's Mike Bryant and Chaninja, Dragon delivers a complete visual make over to both Windows XP and Windows Vista users that is consistent, reliable, and beautiful.

Great skin and thanks! One questoin I can't seem to get an answer for though. With this skin and some other skins I get a crack between my taskbar and whatever app I have fully opened. I can see my desktop wall through the crack. This little crack spans the entire taskbar.

What wall is that? It's perfect.
That would make an awesome dream if the clouds were moving.
