WindowBlinds update?

from Stardock Forums

Well Windows 8 is officially up and running well. It's nice to see some new programs like Start 8 for those that don,t like the idea of life without a start menu.Great for them I have no problem with the new  START SCREEN.

If that were enough to do with the Start Menu / screen issue there is also the new option to change the tiles background.

Two new programs for Windows 8.

It is however nice to see a fantastic UPGRADE to Windows FX works well on Windows 7 & 8!

What I'm really here for is to question whether or not we should expect an update / upgrade / new version of  Window Blinds that will skin at least the window components , never mind the start SCREEN This me for myself has nearly become a necessity to overcome the plain out of the box look of various versions of Microsoft O.S. over the years.

IT'S TIME TO TAKE A DEEPER LOOK AT THE NEW WINDOWS 8! The part that users USE the most. Little time is spent at the Start SCREEN.

It's being developed and tested now, but we typically don't give a specific timeline.

4 days left in 1st quarter, I guess Windows Blinds 8 for Windows 8 just isn't going to happen and it would seem definitely not by the 1st quarter as previously promised!

It wasn't a promise, it was more of a prediction. ;) It will be here when it gets here. (and will be well worth the wait.)

I'd definitely love to see Windowblinds for Windows 8 as well...sooner rather than later. I hate the look of Windows 8.

 

They must've sacked all of their OS designers when coming up with Windows 8.

I'd love to have WB for Win 8 yesterday... even better the day before... but like all things, they come to he/she who waits [patiently].

;P

If they didn't before, they certainly should have afterwards. ;)
