			===Version 7, 2009===
			I'm told this was a coincidence and not at all intended, but WindowBlinds 7 happened to be ready just in time for the arrival of Windows 7. In this version, we introduced a new type of skinning format called UIS0, which allowed users to just modify the existing Aero skin. This made WindowBlinds a lot more popular for people who liked Aero, but wanted a bit nicer look and feel to it.

			WindowBlinds 7 included a new configuration program that made it easy to access the new features of the program, like adding textures to existing skins.

			===Version 9, never===
			Version 9
			Released...never!

			Because I was trying to be as thorough as possible with this recap for WindowBlinds,
			I spent entirely too long last night digging for the history of Version 9.

			Except, there is no Version 9. We skipped 9 and went straight to 10, like Windows.
			Don't ask me why the number 9 seems to get no love, I couldn't tell you.

			===Version 10, 2016===
			We needed to make sure we had a product that was fully compatible with Windows 10, and of course it came with a shiny new UI and plenty of never-before-seen skins that offered a broader customization experience for our users.

			WindowBlinds 10 still has plenty of customization options - far more than ever before - so that you can tweak your desktop down to the most minute of details.

Version 1 released and rose to immediate popularity with over 1 million downloads on CNET's Download.com before the end of the year. Above, you can see the customized window frames and menu bars, and, if you can say you happened to use version 1, you probably feel a little old right now.
