WindowBlinds 5.5: Video Tour

WindowBlinds on Windows Vista

External Link
March 20, 2007 8:20:58 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

WindowBlinds 5.5 was recently released, and I made a video guide to show you how WindowBlinds works on Vista, and to show off some of it's features such as coloring of skins.  Another advantage is you can use SkinStudio to convert existing XP .msstyles for use on Windows Vista with WindowBlinds.

This videos are great...but is there anyway to make them at a larger res, like 512x384 or something? It's a bit hard to make out what's going on. *blind*

I have been noticing that WB 5.5 applys skins a lot faster in Vista than in XP.

PurrBall,

One of the reasons Vista is quicker than XP, is the SuperFetch options. Like Prefetching, if WindowBlinds is seen as a commonly used app...Vista will add it to the list for better caching and easier access.

I noticed that right away with Firefox as well. It took a third of the time to launch.

Very nice video, I wish I knew about what you were doing. Like one post said, I have only been on this site for a year and half and I needed to see better what screens you were pulling up, but I will watch a few time and try to figure it out. Thanks

Nice Video Island Dog!

WOOT! My skin made it into the video. I have not been able to see Eminence in Vista because my video card wont support Aero. Cool.

I would love a larger sized video and maybe with some audio commentary in the bkgrnd too describing the actions you're performing, great video, Windowblinds looks excellent on Vista, I think that was danillo0c's acrylic wb, it looks great in vista (it looks great in xp too)

Thanks for the great work on this video!!!
