Frogboy Administrators Posted March 8, 2007 Administrators Share Posted March 8, 2007 WindowBlinds Vista (WindowBlinds 5.5) is available on Object Desktop and for registered users already. But the public shareware version is due out imminently. It's being uploaded to the various download sites now and as soon as they're ready, it'll go live and we'll do the official announcement. WindowBlinds 5.5 allows usres to use their existing WindowBlinds skins on Windows Vista AND users can convert their XP msstyles over to Vista as well using SkinStudio (http://www.skinstudio.net). Stardock is also getting ready to start WindowBlinds 6 which will have a bunch of new features specifically for Windows Vista (custom blur effects, window texturing, and a lot more). Users who buy WindowBlinds 5.5 (anyone after March 1) will get WindowBlinds 6 for free when it becomes available.

I signed up in Feb. for OD. If you have a current subscription to Object Desktop then you will receive the updates, even the pre-release versions. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/544679-windowblinds-vista-imminent/#findComment-588379863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Illusive Man Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Users who buy WindowBlinds 5.5 (anyone after March 1) will get WindowBlinds 6 for free when it becomes available. Grrr.... I bought it Feb 24th... 2 days after it was available for registered users. I'd have waited if I knew. :pinch: :angry: That means I'm screwed right? :cry: :no: What about everyone that bought it just after 5.5 was released? (Feb 22nd) Are you leaving us out? :whistle: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/544679-windowblinds-vista-imminent/#findComment-588380095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironman273 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I'm about to upgrade to Vista after being a longtime WindowBlinds user under XP. What benefits are there? Any tips?

Island Dog Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I'm about to upgrade to Vista after being a longtime WindowBlinds user under XP. What benefits are there? Any tips? You can convert existing XP .msstyles for use with WindowBlinds on Vista. Link Here is a video tour of Windows on Vista as well. Link The most noted feature of WindowBlinds 5.5 is Vista support and the ability to use existing skins made for XP. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/544679-windowblinds-vista-imminent/#findComment-588433996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
