With regards to the above links, particularly on http://www.windowblinds.net/benefits/

There's a screenshot comparing XP theme system and WB4

before.gif

after.jpg

What's disturbing is, why is the XP one in lower bit color while the one with WB4 visually enchance? Doesn't it feels like cheating?

Uh yea, that's what people notice, that one is GIF and another JPG. Not the fact that one is skinning far fewer elements.

No conspiracy, originally both were GIFs but for WindowBlinds 4 I did a new one and didn't change the wallpaper and so GIF would have caused too many problems. The difference in color is miniscule visually, the difference comes down to how much of the GUI is not skinned by XP by default.

If neowin is the main center for msstyles development and disscussion, where is the center for WB? Please don't tell me it's that poor excuse of a board at wincustomize. I'm not talking about the people or the content, I mean the board itself sucks lol.

mIRC has supported visual styles for awhile now, so I think you should update your screenshot for fairness :)
