WindowBlinds 6.0
Posted by ricktendo64 797 Day ago, There are 103 comments, 51867 views
WindowBlinds is a one-of-a-kind utility that allows Windows users to completely change the look and feel of the Windows interface by applying a new skin. There are thousands of different skins to choose from that are freely downloadable from the WindowBlinds website.

A WindowBlinds skin can make Windows look like an alternative operating system, like their favorite sports or car brand, or something completely new. Because WindowBlinds uses the latest hardware acceleration features of modern video cards, WindowBlinds won't slow down your computer and uses very little memory.

WindowBlinds is safe and easy to use. It doesn't alter any system files and users can switch between the default Windows look and feel and a custom WindowBlinds skin with the click of a button. In addition, WindowBlinds has been tested to ensure it works with Windows Vista, so you know it is compatible, reliable,, and more secure.

Changelog for WB v6:
- Animation Overlays - The Start Menu now supports animation on both Windows XP and Vista
- The new Molten skin has been included with the BETA to show off this "hot" new feature.
- Blur Glass Effects - WindowBlinds now has Blur support in title bars in Windows XP (additionally on the menus on Windows Vista)
- User Created Sub-styles - Edit the system colors/fonts and save all skin changes as presets giving the user the ability to customize their skins beyond what's initially offered as a skin in the software. It gives greater user control over what the user interface will look like.
- Full Font Control - New to WB6 is enhanced font features: Users can now change the size and font style they see in menus, tabs and toolbars.
- Skinning of Explorer Backgrounds - Support for explorer background bitmaps including IE navigation arrows, IE tabs, start menu shutdown/lock buttons
- WindowBlinds now has category filtering when viewing skins to apply. Users with many skins can now filter by the category assigned to the skin (for example Holiday, OS, Computers, Sports, etc.)
- Wallpaper can now be filtered by tags (keywords) such as Light/Dark, Animals, Plants, etc.) Allowing the user to quickly find wallpaper that will match their chosen skin.
- Support for a random skin selection when applying a new skin.
- Users can now recolor a skin and save that setting on a per skin basis. (For example changing blues to reds.)
- In addition, WindowBlinds now supports "Advanced HSL Coloring". Users can choose a single color to change instead re-coloring the entire skin
- A Vista-izeTM me function which sets some defaults to have a more Vista-like look
- Explorer background bitmaps can now be included as part of the skin,
- Edit the system colors from WindowBlinds
- Change skin fonts from WindowBlinds
- Control transparency and blur on start menu, menus, taskbar & window frames. Has some limitations on XP.
- Save all skin changes as presets
- Edit a sidebar skin from within WindowBlinds
- Alter the mouse over animation speed
- Alter the default button pulsing speed
- Handle skin upgrades in an improved fashion
- Use the Aero frames with the rest of the skin

RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by hairbautt on 2007-10-05 10:44:29
Won't apply skins...

"WindowBlinds has not been activated correctly on this PC. Please activate it from SDC."

Anymore effort /
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by DayToDie on 2007-10-05 22:31:36
The problem that keep me from making any progres is that the only thing I have is the WindowBlinds 6 Enhanced file from the Program File folder which doesn't work + require activation.

In simple term, to make any more progress, I need the setup for WindowBlinds 6 Enhanced not just the file from the Program File folder.

No offense, but any confirmation?

Thanks for all, anyways.
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by Noxx75 on 2007-10-06 02:40:47
i could say it works on my machine, but aside from
using the sig.bin file above, i also did the SID trick hours ago... and since then it was working.

i tried it out, everything seemed to work untill I applied my optix theme, it didn't workout all that well, my optix taskbar was all out of wack. so i uninstalled it. but it is gettin closer, thx.

its working, though some skins have minor image glitches. 

RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by zz4spd on 2007-10-06 03:16:53

RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by hairbautt on 2007-10-06 03:23:34
What is SID anyways?
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by Noxx75 on 2007-10-06 03:39:21
SID is your Computer Security Identifier. which sets it somewhat unique..
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by hairbautt on 2007-10-06 03:52:30
No dice, multiple tries. lol. :-\
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by zero_27 on 2007-10-06 04:54:39
Sorry if that's a stupid question, but changing my computer's own SID to another one wouldn't screw my already installed apps (which where expecting my original machine's SID they found when originally installed) preventing them from starting?
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by Javierkaiser on 2007-10-06 05:40:07
Why in the nine hells this THING does not support Win XP X64 but does it with Vista x64?
Damn sons of an 32-bit system, curse you Stardock...
Btw, couldn't try those patch for obvious rasons...
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by zz4spd on 2007-10-06 06:36:57
my results on a fresh system:
I used the public, but I got better results when I used the enhanced. I did the newsid, then installed public, then patch the files, and rebooted. It went well untill i applied a skin, it kept tellin me to reboot.

placed sig6.bin..... no go
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by D3X10N on 2007-10-06 06:55:31
No Go here either. Did the NEWSID, Sig6.bin as well as the wbsys.dll. Installed the Public version and patch. WindowBlinds does not say sharewhere anymore and can access transparency skins, but nothing happens when I apply them.
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by Xenogearz on 2007-10-06 08:51:01
Got mine working!
just follow D3X10N instructions...(although is changes some of them)


and for the skin to work, patch the wb6 beta files... and its gonna work fine!
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by zz4spd on 2007-10-06 09:20:11
Me too, so how to test if it really works? I haven't applied any 3rd party skins yet. thx everyone ,,, great work.

RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by D3X10N on 2007-10-06 14:55:57
Thank DayToDie and Muiz for the files and their hard work. We do need a proper exe Patch rather than changing the SID, I'm sure one of us will get that on here. Thanks all.

Many thanks.

RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by GKaviador on 2007-10-07 03:59:13
Does anyone know any other method to make the enhanced version work without modifying the SID?
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by hairbautt on 2007-10-07 06:20:58
Tried it twice and it doesn't work. Same as above...just sends you into Classic.

Apparently the only way is with SID, which isn't worth it.
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by zz4spd on 2007-10-07 06:42:10
I'm afraid to ask because of the spammers, but if anyone has any cool themes for WB6, could yous plz link me up, thx in advance.
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by GKaviador on 2007-10-07 08:36:44
For those ones who changed the SID, did you suffer any damage on your computers?????????
RE : by idawn on 2007-10-07 10:50:51
Naaaa it wont screw u...! I've done it atleast six times in abt few months..! Only thing is tat there should not be a break when it is changin the SID
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by zz4spd on 2007-10-07 10:33:49
I have done it a few times successfully. It would be bad if your PC locks/freezes up during the scan. I think you would need to reformat your partition if that happened. It doesn't matter if i need to format suddenly though cause everything is backed up and I use many portables that are stashed on a different partition.
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by pyrorob on 2007-10-07 11:23:29
one thing everyone should be aware of is the sid trick (in vista at least) needs to be done in safe mode, otherwise it freezes and doesnt run..
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by alongview on 2007-10-07 11:40:15
No matter what people says,change your system important settings,is bad idea;unless you know what you are doing. It's not worth taking risk like this.
RE:WindowBlinds 6.0 by muiz on 2007-10-07 18:40:30
runs fine in vista , and sid does not freeze

time for faster computer???
