Redestium Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 *sigh* even the forums over at xfire are anti-wb fanboys. I attempted to report a bug in xfire when using WB and look what I get in return:http://www.xfire.com/xf/modules.php?name=F...=asc&highlight= Boy that jaycougar is a real prick, a stupid one at that.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 6, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 6, 2004 I don't even use WB right now and I think it's disgusting how people have so many misconceptions of it. For those who love it, 43 will definitely rule, but guys like jaycougar could be given the cure for cancer and if it was branded under the Windowblinds moniker he would bash it.

greenreaper Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Is it really faster than uxtheme patches...?The only skin I use really is Watercolor... But you know, Stardock could get more of my money randomly, if it hapenned to be more interesting performance wise... Well, try it out! For the same skin, I believe that WindowBlinds can outperform uxtheme, but there's nothing to stop you using both and seeing which one you prefer. There are tools like SkinBench that are meant to be able to measure performance, but the best way it to see how it works for you. It should be noted that WindowBlinds is the only choice if you want to see increased performance or features in the future - Stardock has continuously promised that, and I think anyone who remembers the difference between WB 3 and WB 4 will agree they have delivered it. The theme engine in XP hasn't changed since 2001, so it remains at about the WB 2 level of performance, and that isn't going to change for a long while (besides which, do you really think MS will maintain compatability with previous rouge themes? It's not in their interest). But I'm sounding like a fanboy, so I'll stop now. It is good stuff, though. ;-) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/153632-windowblinds-43-is-going-to-rock/page/3/#findComment-1937728 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 7, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 7, 2004 Man, that thread turned from an innocent bug report to pure chaos. It's a classic case of "I saw a friend's friend complain about it in an IM conversation 5 years ago" sort of thing. They have no idea the power of WB.

KHaKi- Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Pretty sad when you try to help someone out and you get flamed for it, I've had it happen to me before, atleast you tried to inform them (Y), and can't wait for the new WB either :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/153632-windowblinds-43-is-going-to-rock/page/3/#findComment-1939881 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah video game revenge! :rofl: Probably a 14 year old kid with coke bottle bottom lenses wearing a t-shirt that says "1337" or "got root?" living in their parent's basement with the only source of light coming from the cold cathode in their case. And when they're not making video gaming threats they are downloading porn and making threads about how to password protect folders so their parents wont find out.

HEY! Don't diss thinkgeek gear! It really is my almost unique source of decent t-shirts ;P The only difference lies in the fact that I am not 14 years years old nor do I wear glasses. But I do get my tan from my monitors. Oh and I don't waste my time arguing over a simple preference in software, unless the fate of the world depends on it. That has yet to be seen.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted April 14, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 14, 2004 I just got my OD subscription and installed 4.3 beta and skinstudio pro. It still didn't convert the OpusOS skin too well. I will end up getting the one snidley whiplash did, but I was just hoping it would work a little better. The morphing effect is sweet as hell though.
