A new update for WindowBlinds 7 has been released today. WindowBlinds lets you change the look and feel of the Windows user interface with thousands of skins that are available from sites like WinCustomize.com.
This is a maintenance update with various fixes included:
You can download WindowBlinds 7.4 from the Stardock download page (http://download.stardock.com) or via the beta of Stardock Central (https://www.stardock.com/products/stardockcentral).

Mine too. Very smooth!
Stardock Central updated with no problems. Sweet!
why is it not possible to install it through impulse?

and

respectively.
Thanks Rosco.....rednecks are a bit slow sometimes.
All you gotta do is dangle a cool one in front of them the same way you dangle a tennis ball for a dog.
You must have forgotten that they need to be sitting next to the out house also.
Nice update BTW.
Yup. Just in case the unthinkable happens and the outhouse springs a leak he needs to be ready with the bucket. Waste not want not.
Mine did not update properly through Stardock Central. I had to go to the Stardock Store and download it. Then it installed properly to version 7.4.
What happened when you tried? Errors? Explosions? Nothing?
Worked for me through Stardock Central app and I'm using Windows 7 x64
This shouldn't be necessary. Perhaps the planets were in such an alignment at the time that it prevented it from working properly the first time. That's what I'm blaming it on, anyway.
It's up and running now, though?
Perhaps I will wait for a full moon next time.
i hope this fixes the right click menu from being on the left instead of the right side every time i enable a blind.
I got that 'error' message, too, but just clicked OK & it installed without a hitch. I don't think it was an 'error' message - rather just a 'message'.
No errors, although I did hear a couple of explosions It just said it was still version 7.3 (Vista 32bit) The Stardock Store version took much longer to install but it at least upgraded me to 7.4.
Ya the store install runs that alcs or acls (whichever it is) routine that sets the permissions on all the files in the skins directory. It can take awhile if there are a lot of skins and it runs silent - I thought the install had hung until I opened up task manager to see what was going on. But it works as long as you wait for it.
Kudos to Neil. Fantastic update. I've been using 125% dpi fonts for a while and it always bothered me that only a few blinds looked good enough to use that way.
With this update, on reboot I have to stop then restart UxSms to get Aero running again. Windows 7 Ultimate/64/4Gb RAM. I don't reboot often, so I just noticed it today.

Edit: After a few WB skin changes, and several reboots, it now appears to be ok. I will keep an eye on it, but so far, so good.
Hum. I've been using 96 on any display graphics. Just what resolution can the new displays show?
That was fixed a few versions ago. Sometime last year, I too also had that problem but yes it's fixed
@Lantec,
I'm sure you already know but most blinds support the default DPI setting of 96.
