Stylize

Visual styles

Select a skin from the many included with WindowBlinds, or browse thousands of skins from WinCustomize.com right from within the app.

Alternative skins

Select skins have multiple sub-styles that can be applied to suit your personal tastes. You can also save your style combinations as presets for quick access later.

Better Together

When paired with Start11, you can theme your entire desktop to look like an alternative operating system such as Windows XP.

Customize

Add color

Personalize any skin by choosing from a huge array of color options.

Fonts

Add some character to your skins with unique fonts.

Transparency

Make your skins the center of attention, or allow them to blend into your backgrounds by increasing transparency.

Apply

Easy set-up

Quickly and intuitively navigate the configuration menu to easily personalize your desktop. Instantly preview your selections and adjustments before you apply them.

Presets

Save changes to your skins by creating a preset. Presets enable you to access previous customizations and apply them quickly. Love tweaking your creations? Presets can be updated and deleted.

Per application skinning

Choose skins for each of your application types. Make your word processing software stand out from your design programs by giving each one a unique look with a different skin or color scheme. Exclude applications from WindowBlinds or choose other compatibility settings to fit your style.

Create

Design your own skins

Each purchase includes SkinStudio, the powerful companion application for WindowBlinds 11 that enables you to create your own skins. Edit controls, Start menu*, taskbars, Explorer windows, fonts, colors backgrounds and more with SkinStudio.

Easy to use

Customize only the parts of the Windows interface you want to change and SkinStudio will do the rest! This makes it easy for inexperienced users to create a great skin quickly, while advanced users can still enjoy designing every aspect of the Windows interface.
