Stardock WindowBlinds 7.40

Report about update

WindowBlinds is a software utility that allows users to completely change the look and feel of Microsoft Windows. It works by applying new visual styles, called skins, across the entire user interface (title bars, push buttons, start menu, taskbar, etc.) of the operating system. As a result, users gain complete control over the way Windows looks. Even with thousands of different visual styles to choose from, you can customize those visual styles as well. WindowBlinds gives you total control over your graphical user interface. WindowBlinds will let you change the color of your Windows GUI, add textures to “Aero” or WindowBlinds skins, change your wallpaper, give different windows their own specific look, choose a new Windows taskbar and Start button. Create, edit and apply textures. In addition, you can download thousands of free visual styles from the popular WinCustomize.com. With the addition of the separate SkinStudio, you can create your own skins for use with WindowBlinds.

WindowBlinds has features that significantly enhance a user’s productivity when it comes to interacting with windows. For example, you set WindowBlinds to minimize windows just by right-clicking on the title bar, a great feature for minimizing several windows quickly without having to resort to “minimize all”.
This one-of-a-kind program can change virtually every element of the Windows graphical user interface. Because WindowBlinds extends the existing painting routines of the operating system, it uses very little memory. With thousands of free skins to choose from, you can customize Windows to look like another a new take on the standard Windows look, a totally different OS, or something completely different.

WindowBlinds supports nearly all versions of Windows including Windows 7/Vista (32 and 64-bit) and 32-bit versions of Windows XP.

Changes in WindowBlinds 7.4:
* Adds support for transparent scrollbars on Windows 7 Explorer windows
* Updates for start button and high dpi
* Fix for IE sizing issue
* Fix for Opera repaint issue on scrolling
* Fix for blurred borders on large bordered skins
* Fix for UltraMon secondary taskbar
* Directory Opus fixes -SyncBack / SyncBackSE / SyncBack Pro fixes. There are still some menu text colour issues with some skins, but thats skin-specific.
* KVIrc – Black scrollbar resolved along with some other issues linked to the QT framework. Unfortunately apps using this framework may end up with strange mouseover issues where the previous skin images are used on mouseovers for a while. This is not a WindowBlinds issue. It also has menu text colour issues. The QT changes should impact any other app that also uses this framework such as the TeamSpeak 3 client.
* Total Commander – The black menu bar items are now resolved
* Photoshop Elements – tweaks to sort out a cosmetic non maximized window issue and seperators in their menus painting light when the rest is dark.
* Yahoo Messenger – The correct theme is now used on the frames
* uTorrent- An issue with buttons not positioning correctly when the add link window is expanded / collapsed has been worked around
* Alcohol 120% – WB enforces strict Vista rules on the menus now
* Automatic detection of custom menus that use the new menu theme parts added and strict Vista menu rules are forced on the application when this is detected.
* The mouseover animated flash now applies to readonly combo boxes as well as buttons and toolbars.
* IE9 should now support the use of the Web scrollbar sections where defined
* IE9 groupboxes in webpages tweaked to match the style closer
* CCCleaner – Small tweak to alter margins on header bars to prevent text on headers ending … when there was enough space.
* Thunderbird – Small tweak to add a line gap between the attached files list border and the selection box of any files attached.
* IE9 on Vista – The second apply of a UIS2/PerPixel theme will no longer cause the tabs to vanish if IE is closed and reopened.
* Keyboard selected items in explorer will now show with a selection image for all themes.
* Menu padding settings no longer impact the menu bar itself.
* Activation will request elevation (if required) -Some tweaks to the default themes included with WB
