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.

That is how the start button looks in that skin.

The green is the wallpaper...lol. I think the WB is more of a tan, or sandy color.

I know Jim, I like the skin in fact, minus the ferns, it's a little too early yet for me to take in that amount of color, later on, I'll love it.

(i.e. skinners won't have to necessarily make any changes to support Windows 7).
The same way skinners won't have to necessarily make any changes to support either xp or vista?

I was going to post a really cool screen shot of my Win 7 waiting for WB to work, but...
Well, point is moot, huh?

Uhhh... Ehhh... Eeep.... I think you have misunderstood the point of a beta OS entirely...
If you professionally develop Windows 7 software, you do NOT want to run third party software that might cause problems that is not related to the OS.
If you professionally beta test the OS, you most certainly do NOT want to install some extra beta test software, since it can cause non OS related problems.
If you're running W7 to get to know it, and learn the new features and such before release (because you're a tech support guy or something), you do NOT want to install some extra software that makes it look/behave different from a stock W7.
If you were a stardock employee regularly using W7, I'm sure you would have access to the ALPHA of WB for 7.
A beta OS has no place in a work environment other than for EXPERIMENTAL reasons. And an EXPERIMENTAL work environment definetely should not be running other non-essential experimental software. I don't see how windowblinds could be *essential* for a working environment, it's eyecandy, and as such it should only be applied when ALL software used is running smoothly in stable versions.

Not strictly true.
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...
