Author’s Notes: Updated Black Vista Basic wb5 skin (v3.0) features several start panel substyles:
- full & compact solid (opaque) start panel
- full & compact transparent start panel
- full start panel with no action buttons (for those that don’t want action buttons on the windowframes)
- oversized start button
- vista style titlebar buttons with glow effect
Many improvements over v2.0 including updated windowframes and titlebar buttons, added glow button effects, added action buttons with overlay images with text description (transparent window button, rollup/unroll window, windowblinds page shortcut & windows media player), improved startpanel/moreprog area bkgrnd & item elements, skinned flat menus, updated taskbar/taskbar buttons/group menu bkgrnd, disabled userpane pic area & removed included wallpaper image, added off2k7 style scrollbar thumb & arrow buttons, updated control panel elements, updated ie7/vista style internet explorer toolbar icons, etc. Overall, a 100% improvement over the previous version of this skin.

Hi Ankit, to use my Black Vista Basic v3.0 wb skin you will require at least windowblinds v5.0 software which is available from stardock.com
- apparently the windowblinds skinning engine is more efficient than the skinning engine that windows itself uses, you shouldn’t experience slow performance on your machine from using this skin, in fact windowblinds skinning may even speed up your system a bit.
The skin has rec’d something like 100,000+ downloads to date, I’m sure people would have mentioned something if it had slowed down their systems.
