Window Blinds is THE godsend for XP.

galson · March 7th, 2008

Oh c'mon Mire, I remember you bash me for using WB

**MiretanK** · March 7th, 2008

hmmmmmmmm, not really

SCHUMI-4-EVA · March 7th, 2008

Windowblinds can simulate full Aero on XP...that definitely requires a fair bit to make EVERYTHING transparent.

Phil · March 7th, 2008

meh, its to much of a resource hog....

ozzgx4 · March 7th, 2008

are you gay or just a man u fan?

SCHUMI-4-EVA · March 7th, 2008

Even if he was a ManU fan it's still no reason for the pic to be shirtless...

galson · March 7th, 2008

Yeah, will all due respect Omegainf, but... that is gay.

ozzgx4 · March 7th, 2008

Dammit I thought he might be a she, ahh well the quest for the one of the lefthandinous kinights still goes on....

Omegainf · March 7th, 2008

You like cars? You have a desktop with lots of tuned cars on it, you like babes? You have a playmate or something on you desktop. You like both? You have some need for speed wallpaper on it.

You like handsome hunks?? You have Cristiano Ronaldo (or Vin Diesel) shirtless on your desktop, just plain simple!

Sadly you're wrong. WB won't make the address toolbars glassy. ;(

ozzgx4 · March 7th, 2008

Really? I could have sworn that you can make it transparent...

SCHUMI-4-EVA · March 7th, 2008

Hmmm....I used a Vista transformation pack a few years ago and used WindowBlinds to make everything seethrough and AERO...at the cost of a ton of resources...so I soon got over it.
Unfortunately I no longer have the pack or any screenshots so I have no proof of my claims.

ozzgx4 · March 7th, 2008

Was it called vista transformation back then? 'cuz vista only came out about 6 months ago or something

SCHUMI-4-EVA · March 7th, 2008

Yeah Vista Transformation Pack 3.0 Lite or something along those lines....it required WindowBlinds additionaly though to make everything fully transparent. It looked amazing, but required a just as amazing amount of resources.

**MiretanK** · March 7th, 2008

Well, the desktop customizing scene has grown a lot since Vista's realese... I could even bet that they have emulated the glass toolbar. Just can't say names cause I've lost interest on turning XP into Vista-looking, so I am very outdated. ^^

Kazuya Mishima · March 8th, 2008

What would be the best skin for WB that has transparency? It doesn't necesarily has to emulate Vista.

If only there was a compiz fusion for windows
