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.

when it comes to customizing the look and feel of Microsoft Windows. A

other element of the Windows GUI. WindowBlinds gives users the power to
personalize their Windows experience to match their particular style.
