WindowBlinds 4.4 on Object Desktop

from WinCustomize Forums

Stardock has released WindowBlinds 4.4 onto Object Desktop. It's a pretty big step up from WindowBlinds 4.3 as being the most significant performance increase in visual style handling in years.

It also supports shellstyles being at the top of a folder rather than merely on the left side (see screenshot).

SkinStudio 4.4 is now available on Object Desktop as well and enables importing of msstyles that have unusual shell styles.

Object Desktop is a suite of desktop enhancements that includes WindowBlinds, DesktopX, ObjectBar, IconPackager, and most of the other programs you would need to totally customize the look and feel of Windows.

How you do turn on the feature of having shellstyles at the top, or is this a theme specific thing?

This is starting to look a little like Longhorn (what on earth does Startdock have up their sleves I can't wait)

Thanks for still producing the greatest pieces of software

All of us over at Aero-Soft thank you. And, of course, each one of us who have Windowblinds has already started using this theme. Thanks!!

I know there aren't that many .NET WindowsForms apps out there, but when is WindowBlinds going to deal with the .NET Button issue? It isn't .NET, but take a look at Acrobat 6 showing the help panel. You will see a similar behavior with UIS2 skins on the "Hide" button shown in the help panel. See it?

Hiya Folks....Brad or anyone else that has converted this VisualStyle to WB can you post a guickie guide? I've updated WB and SKSPro, got the skin from Voodoo's link, converted it and applied it. The skin hides the XP Shellstyle, but the new style doesn't show up for me. I looked at the skin in SKSPro and it appears that all the parts are there in the new section added. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I uninstalled all stardock items and reinstalled after a restart. Still nothing, watched Frogboy's video that looks cool, I'll have to pass since its not working at all for me.

Does the wireless network connection dialog from SP2 still have black on the left? I notice it here still running 4.4 and the Ealm skin.
