Vista themes (for XP) on Windowlblinds

from Stardock Forums
I got windowblinds 5 the trial, and I got some vista themes, but the transparency doesn't work. Some of the parts and pieces don't show, and it makes them not look good.

Also, can you guys tell me some good, reliable vista themes for XP, and tell me how to fix the glass on the themes I already have?

and they won't - in the trial version, the per pixel only works with the skins supplied with the program - per pixel doesn't work on downloaded skins

how to fix the glass on the themes I already have?


purchase the program - it's the only way

Honestly although I know thats "how it is".. it really makes little sense to me that the 60 day trial doesn't let new users see any WB theme in all it's glory. I wish someone would explain why it is not a fully functional trial. How is a new customizer supposed to realize it CAN look WAY better?

vStyler,

I have to agree with you and others who have commented on this issue. Personally, I think "60 days" is more than generous to try WindowBlinds; double that of what most other software developers offer on their Trial versions. Perhaps Stardock might consider offering a fully-functional trial of WindowBlinds and offer it for the typical 30 days? It would be interesting to learn the reasoning behind Stardock's choice to cripple WindowBlinds as they have. They may have a good reason for doing so too?

Although I agree that some may be put off by not seeing WBs in all their glory, I would suspect that piracy, hacking ect. is the reason behind the restrictions. Can you imagine the # of hacked *trials that would be out there? The price that has to paid for being such a top quality & popular product.
