Island Dog Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 WB in Vista is using the DWM, so resource usage really isn't an issue as it's taking advantage of hardware acceleration in Vista. As far as cool stuff with Vista, this article might interest you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemyBlade Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 It looks promising, however i can't find anywhere if it will work on 64-bit vista. https://www.neowin.net/forum/style_images/s...icons/icon8.gif https://www.neowin.net/forum/style_images/s...icons/icon8.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as cool stuff with Vista, this article might interest you. :) I've read that article, but some things are cool, others are more of the same. Updated stuff, some new but not much more. You have the platform to do much more I would say. And yes, what about Vista x64? Will Stardock support it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also remember that Vista will have it's own version of WindowFX, which is called StyleVista that will also introduce some really cool effects. As far as 64-bit goes, WindowBlinds is currently in testing on 64-bit, so it should be coming soon. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as cool stuff with Vista, this article might interest you. :) Will there be a system to let users write plugins, sort of like Beryl has? I mean, it seems like Vista's display manager could be doing so much more. Custom effects and utilities that can be written by users (Sort of like what's going to happen with the Deskscapes SDK, I guess?) would be very very interesting.

A list of features? And, will it be x64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I havent used this in so long. Is there still like a free trial or anything? If so, does it allow glass themes to run in full glass in vista? or does it only let you use themes without glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Michael Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 There is a 60 day trial available from download.com. You can use the transparent themes that come with and use those features. But any transparent themes you download would show as opaque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most, if not all the applications will eventually be x64 compatible. StyleVista is still in early development, but I will see what details I can come up for you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
