Windowblinds vs. StylesXp |
Given past experiences with StyleXP, you've already made the better decision in going with WindowBlinds, and don't let detractors tell you otherwise. Not only is WindowBlinds more stable and reliable, it has better customer support, via Stardock or the forums here, and does not hack system files.....
WindowBlinds allows you to do a repair install with your XP disc but StyleXP does not, which to me is a clear indicator that it messes with things it shouldn't. Also, if you unload WindowBlinds, your system will go back to its original state, but that is not so with StyleXP because it alters system files and therefore remains active in the background. Uninstalling StyleXP isn't an easy feat either, should it become necessary to remove it....a repair install of XP becomes necessary once its removed because StyleXP does not replace the original system files it hacked.
As for the best skins, well let's just say there are no best ones! They're all good, so it's a matter of personal preference, what works for you. Rather than seeking the opinions of others as to what are the best skins, I'm sure a browse through the WB library here would reveal many 'best' skins for you.
