Well from the looks of it the developer put a lot of time and energy into it, hopefully he will continue to update it. I agree with most in the thread he would go a lot further with a limited trial version. But, so far those who have got it and tried it have come back with positive feedback.

Of course its never going to equal WindowBlinds but the mere fact that a 'New StyleBuilder' (so to speak) is underway/out I think is a good thing in the long run (it was for XP and the state of skinning in general I believe).

I wonder if it will handle teh Win7 skinning engine.

The nice thing about SKS is that you know there are resources and a passion behind it to guarentee updates.

FWIW, Andreas is a very smart dude and has done some great things with skinning.  If I had a need, I'd trust his work without a trial.

With Stardock being around for awhile another customizing program is going to have to be pretty darn good to be considered competition.  I haven't looked at this yet, but I will. 

Just can't imagine anything being able to be good enough to pull away folks from here.  Don't get upset, just my opinion.

You know what else that I find is funny...a lot of those "zomg windowblinds is teh sux0rz, msstyles ftw!!!@!one" people usually make that rant because Windowblinds costs money. That program there costs MORE than WB or SKS, has NO trial, and does half as much, and yet they're clammoring over it and STILL bashing WB. Those people need to be whacked upside the head with the 2x4 of reality.

msstyles are fairly good for most purposes. In my experience, the only thing that they cant really do is animation.
