Can you return windows blinds?

You'll need to contact sales@stardock.com ....

You may also want to read the Return Policy.

Ok, this part of the policy is kind of stupid because WB Shareware is useless and no one will get a good idea of what it can do from that cutdown version. I think it's time for a policy change...

*Please note that most Stardock programs have demo versions available for preview prior to buying. Since we do offer shareware versions and customer service is available to answer any questions about the software before and after ordering, full refunds will not be issued for functional software that doesn’t live up to your expectations. We DO NOT have a “try before you buy” policy: that is why we offer shareware versions of our programs for evaluation. Please use the shareware versions prior to purchase if you are unsure if you want to purchase the product.

You seriously are suggesting that the shareware version of WindowBlinds doesn't give you a good idea of what it does?

Really?

 

Does it do 100% of the same as the full version? I rest my case. Hell, the full version doesn't do 100% of everything I want out of it.

Here is the offical policy.

Please review our refund policy located at: https://www.stardock.com/stardock/sds_returns.html

We offer full refunds after tech support is utilized and is not able to resolve the issues.  Specifically, we need to know:

1) Your product name and your subscription/serial number (include *all* the programs of ours that you are running)
2) Your hardware configuration (video card and CPU are the most important ones)
3) What version of Windows you are running
4) A complete detailed report of the issue including any errors that you received and how the problem can be replicated.

If you do not wish to utilize tech support, then we offer a 75% refund. If you wish to receive the 75% refund, please contact sales@stardock.com.

Listen! If you know there's shareware, and you can read a return policy statement, why do you have to ask questions afterwards? Seems to me that if I had made an impulsive purchase, the lesson learned about impulsive purchases is worth the price of the software you bought. Grow up, and move on.
If on the other hand, you're having problems using the software, then invest a little time and go through the Wiki and Tutorials....call someone at Stardock. They are VERY nice people...like Mike H. who really try to help folks who are having problems.   .

- I'm very curious as to what you mean by your statement. What is it that a person can't determine it will do from the shareware version? It applies windowblinds skins that are created by various wb skin authors? What else is it meant to do? I have used wb5.x for the longest amount of time and I've gotten everything out of it that I expected and I create wb skins too so I'm not just downloading other people's work and applying it on my machine, I'm creating my own skins and applying them to my machine - that's pretty much what it does and all I expect it to do.

I've installed the wb6 trial on another laptop I have and it does exactly what it's supposed to do, apply wb skins, and the set of skins that comes with wb6 are more than excellent, great ways to dress up your pc and give you an excellent idea of the functionality of the software.

What isn't it doing for you that you expect it to do?
Just a question, hoping for an answer.   

It gives you more than enough to see what the program does. 

I've used many function-limited demos over the years.  They're mostly there to give you a taste of what the full program does, not give you the whole experience.  Combine the demo with research, screenshots, asking questions and you can easily discover whether or not the application is for you.

As far as I am aware, the only thing the Trial (I'd call it trial-ware and not shareware.  "Shareware" is too open to interpretation) doesn't do is apply per-pixel skins outside of the ones that come with the trial.  Is there anything else it doesn't do?

To me, this question is analogous to buying software in a brick-and-mortar store. Try buying an operating system, utility, or game from any given retail outlet, opening it, loading it on your machine for a few weeks, deciding it doesn't work for you, and taking it back to the store to ask for a refund. Honest people aren't going to buy a product, copy it, and return it for a refund. Most stores have policies in place that expressly forbid this sort of activity. They have to protect their bottom lines, because, while an honest person wouldn't do this just to make an illegal copy of a product and get his/her money back, there are many people who would do precisely that.

This is precisely why companies create demo and trialware versions of their products.

If the shareware version doesn't do what you want it to do, you shouldn't buy the full version.

That's kind of the idea.
