WindowBlinds, a program that helps you easily apply skins to Windows, is readying itself with support for the Windows 10 Creators Update in anticipation of its release. Alongside support for Microsoft's latest big OS update, WindowBlinds version 10.6 packs in some DPI tweaks and enhancements across the board.

Here's what's new (opens in new tab):

  • Mixed mode DPI - Skins scale up to look great
  • Apply skins to Universal applications
  • Blur the area behind skinned areas - Check out the Modern skin!
  • Skin OS ribbon controls and blend in better with titlebars
  • Completely hide the Windows Explorer ribbon
  • Match the system accent color to the applied skin
  • SkinStudio update - Support for high-DPI skin files

If you're down for some extensive customization on your Windows 10 PC, you can pick up WindowBlinds for $10 now. If you already use Stardock's Object Desktop (opens in new tab), then WindowsBlinds included in the full customization suite.

  • Oh my gosh, Windowblinds is still active? I remember that software from late 1990s :)
  • Same here, didn't hear about it since the days of XP when Vista launched and everybody was talking about it :D
  • I think I was using it during Win98 🤓
  • Yeah, I used to use it religiously, but didn't know it was still around.
  • That's a blast from the past.
  • Old is gold . I knew MS will surprised everybody.
  • Now it will look like Redstone 3 update on cu
  •   just tried it. Crashes when trying to get the wallpaper...not the standard I'm used to...took it off        
  • No thanks. It destoryed my computers in the past. Maybe it's beter now, but I don't trust it. Most of their skin screenshots look like old OS styles. I'm totally fins with how Windows 10 looks. The Ice theme is my favorite, but it's not good enough to make me try it.
  • okay
