Stardock has today announced that WindowBlinds 5, the latest iteration of the company's PC customisation software, has been released and is available for purchase exclusively on the company's Web site.

WindowBlinds allows you to completely alter the look and feel of the Windows interface by applying visual styles (skins) to title bars, buttons, the Start bar, borders and more.

WindowBlinds 5 introduces a broad range of new features, including per-pixel alpha blending, resulting in smooth or glassy title bars and borders that promise to realistically distort the content behind them, as well as the ability to change toolbar icons, progress animations and the hue and saturation of the Windows interface.

'Our goal with WindowBlinds 5 was to provide a program that allows users to personalise Microsoft's Windows without slowing down the system or using up extra memory resources to do it,' said President & CEO Brad Wardell.

'Whether they download one of the thousands of skins available at WinCustomize.com or create their own using our SkinStudio software, users can use WindowBlinds 5 to ensure their Windows desktops represent their interests and individuality like never before.'

With over over 8 million users worldwide, WindowBlinds 5 is one of the most popular desktop-enhancement utility of all time. It's also used by companies such as Microsoft, ATI, nVidia, Alienware, Nintendo and many others to provide custom Windows user interfaces for their customers.

WindowBlinds 5 is $19.95 as a stand-alone program or for $49.95 by purchasing Stardock's Windows enhancement suite, Object Desktop. A shareware version of WindowBlinds is available for free download. For more information about the product, go to www.windowblinds.net.
