SkinStudio 4.5 has been released. SkinStudio is a free program that makes it easy for users to create their own look and feel for Microsoft Windows. With it, users create visual styles that can then be applied with Stardock"s WindowBlinds GUI customization program (www.windowblinds.net). When installed, it also enables users of WindowBlinds to seamlessly make use of visual styles that are in .MSStyles format.
Version 4.5 adds support for creating per-pixel alpha blended Windows XP Start menus, random window frames, Unicode support, and vastly improved MSStyles importing options.
Stardock also makes SkinStudio Pro which supports making Windows Media Player skins and soon Firefox skins. The Pro version is also part of Stardock"s Object Desktop suite of desktop enhancement utilities (www.objectdesktop.com).
