WindowBlinds 7 sneak screenshot
Thursday, January 29, 2009 by Frogboy | Discussion: OS Customization
WindowBlinds 7 internal alpha on Windows 7 beta
Unmodified WindowBlinds skin (i.e. skinners won't have to necessarily make any changes to support Windows 7).
WindowBlinds 7 betas will probably show up on Object Desktop this Spring.

Virtually nothing is 'essential'...other than the OS itself....and the 'work' program...eg Office.....Photoshop....Autocad, etc.
But....there are features provided by such proggies as Windowblinds that, once used and familiar, if they are suddenly not there....simply FEEL essential. Z-order in particular....the ability to 'lock' one window on top of another...and work on the lower without 'focus' bringing it to the 'top' and thus obscuring the other.
It's the number one reason I use Windowblinds....

I think you wonder to much. Just give us the beta, and we will report back on any flaws.

You can lock a window on top using WB? How's this?

aaah... okay... I did make my windows roll up with right-click... but I guess I never even really looked at all the other options as well... 
thank you Zubaz, having the option to put a window always on top will be a BIG help, especially when working with just one monitor and following tutorials and/or guides

The two true functional features of WB is its rollup and z-order handling. I know I'm not the only one to use each or both of those daily....for their very real functional benefits.
Eye-candy is simply a bonus...
I stand corrected.
Though, other than being convenient, I don't see how those feature would be absolutely essential anyway.
