![]() They also skin the toolbar buttons (see your screenshot) with clear aqua buble. they put aqua bubble everywhere, even for selected items in a right-click menu. they saw, white, aqua bubles and depending of the tastes of the creator you can have a full-ugly-aqua-bubble 'MAC' theme. I mean they don't get the essence of this design. What I was saying, is that WB creators who make MAC styles (specially for Mac OSX) simply don't get it ! I would prefer WB instead of msstyles due to rollup ability I would prefer WB instead of msstyles due to left title bar buttons You got me wrong I would like to use an WB skin with a MAC OSX theme, but where is it? WB can do aqua much more accurately and there are aqua themes for WB as well as Mac classic. I'm at a bit of a loss on how someone could say that msstyle Mac themes are better than WindowBlinds ones. If you've used hyperpaint in WB3, you know what I mean (eliminates screen repaints on smaller windows when moving them by caching windows to video ram). As video cards get more and more video RAM, the performance gains you can get on the desktop (where that video RAM is barely used) by making use of that video ram become substantial. One of the things I think you're going to see is that in the next year or so skinning won't just be about making Windows XP look cooler but it'll make Windows FASTER (possibly faster than classic). But if you're opening and closing programs a lot then you may notice WB being slightly slower (we're talking milliseconds here but just as some people can tell the difference between 85hz refresh and 75hz refresh some people can tell the difference in load times).īut WindowBlinds 4 will bring in the shell menus (we could do it now if we used shellstyle.dll but that's technically illegal - shellstyle.dll is a copyrighted DLL) and on Windows XP it will have an even faster engine (Thanks to a helluva lot of help from the MS shell team and working with ATI and nVidia). So bottom line is if you tend to keep your programs open all the time (I keep my machine on 24/7) then WB's skinning performance advantages come in handy. The skin really has a lot of control over htat speed but we're working on eliminating issue that for 4.0. The initialization just takes slightly longer but it is something we're working on. WindowBlinds definitely is faster than msstyles on the same "skin" when it comes to repainting and drawing and resizing (when WindowBlinds 4 comes out it'll be particularly noticeable - especially if you have an nVidia card or ATI card).īut WindowBlinds is SLOWER at opening a new process.
