Windows 7 Themes and Beyond with WindowBlinds
Monday, October 19, 2009 by Island Dog | Discussion: OS Customization
Windows 7 has greatly improved its own theme capabilities, which are far better than you found in Windows XP or Vista. With Windows 7 you can now change the colors of theme, background, sounds, screensaver, etc. and even package those themes for sharing.
I have seen some nice combinations of themes, and it’s such a far departure from the Luna days most of us should remember. Even though the integrated Personalization options have widely grown over time, there are still limitations to be had. If you want to truly customize your desktop, third-party software is what you will need.
Being that the Windows 7 launch is in October, it’s also very close to the release of Object Desktop 2010, which includes huge updates like WindowBlinds 7. If you want to extend your personalization and customization needs beyond what Windows offers, this is what you want.
With WindowBlinds 7 you have many more options and features available for Windows 7.
Some of these include:
- Advanced skinning options
- Adjustable transparency
- Textures
- Re-coloring of skins in real-time
- Changing of Explorer backgrounds
- and much more!
Take a look at my current Windows 7 desktop using a skin created by a community member of WinCustomize.com.
Here is the same desktop with a texture applied to the skin. The customization options are nearly endless!
