Download WindowBlinds 11.0.2.1 Download | TechSpot

WindowBlinds is a unique tool that allows Windows users to completely change the look and feel of the Windows interface by applying a new skin. There are thousands of different skins to choose from that are freely downloadable from the WindowBlinds website.

A WindowBlinds skin can make Windows look like an alternative operating system, like their favorite sports or car brand, or something completely new. Because WindowBlinds uses the latest hardware acceleration features of modern graphics cards, WindowBlinds will not slow down your computer and uses very little memory.

WindowBlinds is safe and easy to use. It doesn’t change any system files and users can switch between the standard Windows look and a custom WindowBlinds skin with the click of a button. In addition, WindowBlinds has been tested to ensure it works with Windows Vista, so you know it’s compatible, reliable and more secure.

Customize the look and feel of Windows

Tired of your computer having the same old look as every other computer? Do you want to give your Windows PC its own unique style? Stardock WindowBlinds allows you to use thousands of different skins (visual styles) to change the look and feel of your entire desktop. WindowBlinds is so flexible that users can create skins that mimic the look and feel of other operating systems.

Not just eye candy

WindowBlinds don’t just make Windows look better, they can make it more functional. You can create your own skins that add additional buttons to the title bar that provide additional functionality such as roll-up buttons, link buttons, programming shortcuts, even media player controls. Also, because WindowBlinds uses the latest features of your graphics card, it can make Windows even faster than standard Windows XP or “Aero” style.

You are in control

Even with thousands of different visual styles to choose from, you can also customize these visual styles. WindowBlinds gives you total control over your graphical user interface. WindowBlinds allows you to change the color of the Windows GUI, change the background image, give different windows their own specific look, choose a new Windows taskbar and Start button.

Improve productivity

WindowBlinds has features that significantly improve a user’s productivity when it comes to interacting with windows. For example, you set WindowBlinds to minimize windows just by right-clicking on the title bar, a great feature for quickly minimizing multiple windows without having to resort to “minimize all”.

What is new

• Fixes the reported issue with UIS2 shells not painting the text in the tree and gap for some UIS2 shells with new explorer windows.
• Fixes an issue with electron frame apps (like Skype) being excluded when they have a default caption
• Fix Chrome dropping frames in some situations.
• Firefox no longer has an issue with the min, max, close buttons clicking when Firefox is allowed to show but the title bar is not set to be above the tabs. (It will not use the WB skin in this mode)
• Firefox, when the title bar is above the tabs now, paints the caption correctly
• Thunderbird no longer paints black in the top right corner and the main window is excluded from WB
• Chrome / Edge paints the title bar correctly on first launch now
• PDFLite / SumatraPDF no longer has a missing tab bar. Due to the way this app works, the title bar with the tabs is excluded
• The EM Lite app is now excluded as it is fully custom and had issues with WB skinning
• Skype can now animate with WindowFX
• Start menus with animations may no longer appear below the start menu when used with Start10 and WindowFX animations. Note that menus that use blur will not animate with WindowFX.
• Added dark mode support to the WindowBlinds configuration interface. Force this via the gear in the top right if you are on Win7 or always want dark mode regardless of OS setting
• Worked around incompatibility with OpenShell/ClassicShell where it doesn’t disable taskbar skinning and thus stops WB skinning of the taskbar
• Automatically excluded electron app main windows
• Note: Adobe Acrobat, when in-app mode, no longer renders borderless on Windows 10 (however, it can’t use the WB shell since it’s sandboxed)
