Question Windows Blinds

Is Windows Blinds any good? Does it slow down your PC?

Hello,

It works perfectly on my PC. Performance is fine.

I've been using it for many years now and it's an excellent way to apply new themes. Plus, there are tonnes of themes out there for WindowsBlinds you can download.

Absolutely true. I used it for about a year before just using the same MSStyles theme, cos i only want this same design. Anyway... Yea it's easy to change themes and download new ones. It didnt slow up my PC so it should be fine.

I love windowblinds and all stardock programs for that matter... Lot's of really cool stuff and it's not too much of a resource hog.

Although i've resently found that "MS Flight Sim 2004" doesn't like windows blinds and cause lot's of issues, if windowblinds isn't unloaded when playing.

BUt, overall... it's awesome and well worth the money...

I'd rather have XP + Stardock programs then Vista... to tell you the truth.
