I've tried using WindowBlinds a few times in the past but I've always ended up going back to XP viusal styles or the good old solid color look. I dunno, I've just had lots of problems with it, having to exclude half of my apps from being skinned. Besides I've always felt that XP's visual styles are faster than WB. This was a number of years ago though, so maybe WB has changed for the better. Don't care anymore though, I don't want it nor any other skinned look. I like changing my interface often and that leads to problems if you're using WB/VS, you'll be stuck with just the colors the skinner included. You could edit the visual style of course, but that's a PITA. So now I'm using ECS for all my system color needs. Kicks 3DCC's butt ;)
