Windows Blinds has a longhorn theme included with the program

But, it doesnt have transparent windows like longhorn...

transparency isnt included in windowblinds atm but its a very much requested feature and is discussed here

Enjoy !

Note: That is based on build 5059 i think...and i dont know if the transparency was already present in there but it says in the description:

"-Updated Aero Style (Glass)" so i guess you have a chance because of the word "glass"

RE: anyone knows? by guanako on 07-10-2005 at 03:58 PM

is it good it looks like a lot of changes to the system

RE: anyone knows? by paperless on 07-10-2005 at 04:03 PM

Yeah it changes the boot animation hum.. logon screen adds a sidebar etc..

Some system files are changed, well yeah, its not a that big hassle because just a very very small amount are changed to the point you notice a language change in the end you will be alright if you understand english.

when you uninstall it you might be left with just windows classic theme to fix that....
start---run---type "services.msc"---click okay---look for "themes"on the list---double click on it---change startup type to automatic,click apply---exit that window---right click on themes---all tasks--start.
then if the theme doesnt change right away you can cange it the normal way

the theme isnt even that good!
