After trying this software out for the first time today I am very happy with what it can do. After installing a 15mb program I have been able to make numerous changes to the look of my computer, mostly noticeably the taskbar. Here is a before and after shot of my taskbar:
This and several other mods can be implemented all with the install of Windows Blinds. Although I downloaded this program for free, it infact a trial version (30 days). The full version is available for $19.95 which you can purchase from their website.
Personally I find it really annoying when programs charge to use them. This is a reason why we at PC Curb tend to review freeware software, as it is open to a larger audience. Despite this it is worth the download, even if you just want to test it out. For a full screenshot of what my browser looked like check here: before – after .

The only messages we have received are the two you just made. What was your original one if you can remember?

i tried again but nothing, i think it has to do with it being long, maybe there is a glitch or something with the comment system, happens all the time with most blogs

Ok it was blocking it because you posted URLs in your comment. I’ll try and get that fixed.
Desktop looks awesome, yeah the dock makes it look more like a mac.

I dont realy like these skins, they seem alittle poor, and the start button has gotta be the weirdest known to man…
