Developer Stardock has released WindowBlinds 6 today. It is a utility that allows users to customize the look and feel of Windows by applying "skins" to change the user interface of the OS. WindowBlinds 6 can make Windows XP look virtually identical to Windows Vista (including blurred glass). Thanks to hardware acceleration, a typical XP system dressed to look like Vista will perform faster than Vista still. WindowBlinds 6 also adds full skinning support to Windows Vista, making it the first and only program to support full Windows Vista customization. CNet takes a quick look at this new release.

Has Litestep gotten easier to install and use?

I remember it being a bear to back in 98-99.

Obviously it isn't a shell... which is my point.

Flatland_spider, not to get to far off the topic, but yes Litestep has a simple installer and more config tools now, no more editing files by hand, unless you want too.

It not being a shell is your point? Then why are you suggesting replacing EXPLORER (a shell) with an alternative shell? WindowBlinds has nothing to do with shells!
