First Look: WindowBlinds desktop themes

A few months ago, I shared a great-looking combo of themes that give Windows XP and Firefox a dark, unified look. WindowBlinds is an app that achieves the same end, but brings a large gallery of theme options to you. Dress your desktop up or down with default selections or choose specially-formatted third-party themes that download straight into WindowBlinds. Either way, the sharp visuals and full-featured, easy-to-use configuration manager make this application a recommended choice for anyone interested in pimping out their desktop. Aww, yeah.

Nice work! WindowBlinds can make your desktop look really pretty. But it does eat up quite a bit of RAM, as far as I remember.

Okay, Common Mis-conception with windowblinds. Windowblinds Uses VIDEO ram. I run windowblinds and play games at the same time, and i mean graphic intensive games. So, it really doesnt slow your computer down any.

I have this prog and I'm not a "noob" nor do I use the much maligned phrase "pwned".
I just found it to be a fun little prog to play around with. It hasn't negatively affected performance on my PC either.
