Description Try a beta here: [link]

I was recently given a legit version of WindowBlinds and finally installed it on vista!

So I tried to do what I always wanted to - make a full glass explorer windowblinds skin as you can see in the preview. Still work in progress, but I want to know your opinion on this.

Will be released this week! Only for Vista WindowBlinds, sorry.

Comments are welcome!

very nice, you might have to figure out a system so it looks good on all wallpapers...

see if you can do it for a visual style.

If you figure out an eye pleasing way to separate non-highlight able areas from the rest, then I'll love it!!

septerranights In reply to ??? [2008-11-03 18:55:31 +0000 UTC]

I like it, but I don't think I could ever use it. It is a bit too much to look at.
You have the main background which is crystal clear, then you have the watercolor glass effect which puts things out of focus, then the actual files on top of that your looking for. Looking at all that would make my eyes and mind tired after a while.
It is a really awesome concept though. Great job!

Yea it is kinda distracting, I mean microsoft could make this with ease, but they know that not all users would want this. But nice eyecandy feature though

Michel8170 [2008-11-03 18:54:25 +0000 UTC]

Alex, in case you're going to release this I would have to install WB right away

Full glass windows is something I always wanted to have in VS, but it's not possible...
