I bought StyleXP waay back when WindowsXP first came out. I have never had any troubles with it cept having to reload it after certain MS updates. The most important reason I used it was due to the fact it never affected my Older computers performance. WindowBlinds back then slowed my computer wheras StyleXP had no effect at all.

I just loaded WindowBlinds 5 shareware and was wondering does it effect your computers speed at all when playing games. Will I ever need to unload it due to conflicts sometimes when playing games and alt tabbing to desktop? Do new NVIDIA drivers ever have conflicts with WindowBlinds. Also what does hyperpaint do?? Whenver I enable it, my screen gets corrupted and blackness appears all over the place. No I am not running the cracked version. Also it mentions that you can change the skins colors/hues. I don't see this option avail. Do I need to use some other program than windowblinds to do this or is this just ommited from shareware version?

What I really want to know is does this new 'native' version 5 affect my performance at all? I am a performance whore and I don't want to buy something I am not going to ever use. Any comments of users are appreciated.

Thanks for any help. Fuz
