Question

from Stardock Forums
Hey I just started using this Window Blinds thing recently. I am aware that there is a 60 day limit trial, but is there someway to bypass this?
I only make enough money to have a living, so I can not afford to buy the real thing. If I just reinstall it on the 59th day, will the days be reseted?

Thank you.

All of your windows will turn black, your computer will become so sluggish that even your mouse will not move. You will be unable to access simple folders on your machine & you will receive repeated messages that you are pirating the Windowblinds software. Your IP will be sent to the appropriate authorities & you will be prosecuted accordingly.

It's a trial version, not a free version.

Enjoy it while you can & start saving your spare nickels - you'll have enough to buy it before you know it.

I guess I will have to. I got one question, does it reduce my computer performance as I only have 496MB ram, P4 with no hyperthreading. The startup of my computer seems to be a bit slower when Windows is loading.

Ignore #1 ...he's having a lend...

The trial period cannot be reset...it is intended to be sufficient time for a prospective purchaser to determine whether he/she becomes a purchaser...or not.

Your system should not notice [nor you] any slow-down from running Windowblinds, though on a general thought...Win XP will thank you if you add more ram than '496'...for any program use...

I have one more problem, all the transparent skins for vista aren't being transparent. The taskbar has the glass effect but none of the programs do.

What you see is "normal" since the Trial version only will display transparency for the default skins that came with it. Downloaded per-pixel skins won't display their transparency properly or at all.

I tried them all, on the preview it is transparent though...i have a really crap graphics card. Could that be the problem?

You're running the trial version. The transparency will only work on the skins that came with the program.

post a screen shot of one of the included skins not working
