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.

"I also had Windowblinds installed for a while, but I found myself wasting a lot of time and bandwidth downloading and trying new themes. I uninstalled it and learned to just accept the limited set of official signed MS styles, and now spend my time getting actual work done.

"

agreed. I've never really been a big fan of skinning (though I love the theme i've created for KDE) but it's always made more sense to me than those who spend hours case modding ;-)
