Erste öffentliche WindowBlinds 6 Beta für OD-Abonnenten
Erste öffentliche WindowBlinds 6 Beta für OD-Abonnenten
Erster Eindruck : "Wow !"³. 
Transparenz und Unschärfe sind nun (auch unter XP !!!) stufenlos auch für Skins einstellbar, die eigentlich nicht dafür erstellt waren, mir kommt es wieder ein Stück performanter vor und es sind viele nette Kleinigkeiten mehr eingeflossen. So z.B. die Animation des User-Icons. Ausserdem gibt es mit dem Release 2 neue Skins und eine eindrucksvolle Techdemo des animierten User-Icons (in Form eines Drachens).
Leider aber wie bisher nur für ObjectDesktop-Abonnenten. Skinstudio 6 dagegen läßt weiter auf sich warten.
