Guys, you forget one thing: windows xp themes system is a bad copy of stardock's windowblinds v3+ .... windowblinds5 already does what vista will do but using less resources than vista will require... so please don;t be stupid. .... Anyway, until vista will be out maybe a few more of you willl get a mac and spit on windows... IT SUCKS!

Well, it must be incredibly difficult to make a smooth skin for Windowblinds judging by all of the bulky, uninspired/bland (meaning lack of color or bad use of color...and bulky Vista clones with authors who refuse to allow thin taskbars :rolleyes: ), and rough-edged themes available for it. I'm not that hyped about WB5 (it just makes the titlebar and taskbar difficult to see, not to mention all of the complications with games and apps making me have to go through trouble to disable themes after fighting with an app that hates WB5.....). But, if EM3 later decides to move over to it, and the theme looks professional like it does now, I'll switch. ;)

RaisedFist, WB3 was not a bad "copy" of Windows XP themes; it was a bulky, bloated, and third party app that allowed limited use of bitmaps on the GUI of previous copies of Windows. It never compared to the ease of use and compatibility in using Windows XP VSs that I experienced (I went from Win2000+WB to WinXP...there was a difference). I'm sure WB5 and Vista will be quite different as well. I do agree, though, if it becomes less expensive to own a MAC (or a get a laptop), I'll probably switch...
