I believe that at some point, someone (team?)in the Windows dev. team decided that Aero was a bit bloaty, and a bit dated. Look at all the current array of mobile os versions (from all the major players). They spent years developing beautiful transparencies, overlays, and transitions just to flatten it all into a world of ugliness. They claim it is in the name of speed, and these things do typically require a smidge of extra processing power, but I have been running transpar

Since I am not a windowblinds dev, I cannot give you more specific information than this, but if you want to know the why we have to wait: with Windows 8, MS dropped support for system wide skinning.

While I would love a version that works fully now, there is no other "approach" they can take. You all need to realize that Stardock has consistently been doing the imprbable... They release high level OS hacks that are completely safe, reliable, stable, and efficient. Windowblinds is the highest level of all of them because essentially, it is skinning the entire operating system. Windows 10 included a ui overhaul. If you don't believe me or the support t

So, Win 10 is RTM, and windowblinds works in general. Is there a way you could enable it to ignore the taskbar? If that were the case, we would have usable functionality for the time being (the only other bug I see is windows explorer backgrounds do not work). Thank you. ~Leko
