Most of the things it used to do it doesnt anymore. I skinned it quite heavily with lots of function. Cannot use media player. and other things.

Not sure when, but I was a Stardock customer early back in the OS/2 days (A better Windows than Windows).  I still miss that OS.  I would have started using WindowBlinds after OS/2 was killed off and I was forced back to windows.

I haven't used WindowBlinds for several years now.

I started in 2000, maybe 2001; I do remember that I discovered Windowblinds after I got Icon Packager.

No working windowblind or Litestep anymore, but Winamp, Sysmetrix & DesktopX still run after some tweaking. I really enjoy this. Nijikon Fetchi 2024 - twenty years later:

Wall by Misery (deaddreamer), DesktopX by BoXXi, Sysmetrix & Winamp by Jafo.

Windowblinds 3 since I saw the Aquarium theme by Alexandria on Win98. I did try the now defunct Chroma,it was very promising which probably direct competition with WB,but somehow it shut down the website,stopped development when WInXp came out. What a shame.

My memory is a little blurry, but my guess for me would be anywhere from 2003 to 2009, somewhere around that time frame. I have a clear memory of using it in 2009, 2010, but it also seems like I was using it before then.

I must have collected at least 100 or more various .wba skins and themes over the years.....

I thought I would count what I have installed, it's about 205 actually..........I was making a rough estimate earlier, without counting. 628? Whoa!
