Every day millions of people in the world work to make world around us more beautiful. Everyone spends a great part of life at work. Therefore it is high time to think about the appearance of your working place. If your work or your spare time are connected with computers, in many instances you deal with the Operation System Windows®.
The Microsoft® Corporation was trying to make its OS nicer, but even now we haven’t a structured program for working with themes. Don't worry, everything is not lost. I’m going to tell you about the WindowBlinds from the Stardock.net, Inc. which is generally recognized of thousands users. The work with Windows® became more pleasant and nice. The 4th edition of WindowBlinds is a powerful tool for graphic interface settings. (Today we are going to speak about a new version 4.2. But do not be in a hurry to delete previous versions, they may be useful for previous Windows® versions, like Windows 95, 98). For working with this software you not need any additional knowledge. You should have only primary skills of Windows®. After the Program installation we start the WindowBlinds and get the “WindowBlinds Advanced Configuration” menu, where we can create own OS appearance. Configuration menu and settings are compacted in spite of a huge number of it. Choosing a skin you like most of all, you should press “Apply this skin for now”. As you see, the program is elementary. Even a child could use it. Remember you can combine skins. If you like a taskbar in one skin and a window appearance in other, you can use the User Overrides menu. In this way may create your own skins. To apply selected settings don't forget press “Apply Changes”. Try to understand all WindowBlinds settings and you will see all possibilities of this program. The WindowBlinds allow us to fix many functional capabilities for windows. In the User Overrides menu press button Advanced Settings. Notice, you may set the WindowBlinds settings for the right/left mouse click. For example, press the left/right mouse button on a titlebar and a window will be done actions which you want. Set for the right mouse button “send to tray” and you will see the convenience of escaping background application. Notice that it couldn’t minimize to the system tray before. If you choose skin and have some problems with applications, you can tune application and correct mistakes in the “Per Application” menu. (After application tuning you should restart this application). I assure you, large quantity and possibilities will be useful and comfortable. As for me, that is my lovely OS decoration program and my good helper in my daily routine. Because any active Windows® application may have its own window. And only you will decide how to create your own skin for your own windows. The WindowBlinds is not the only Stardock.net, Inc. program in the customize windows sphere. About the rest we'll tell you later. Related Links:
