Well, I can tell you from my point of view that WindowBlinds is better than StyleXP because I&acute;m on Windows98 :) So I can use WindowBlinds but not StyleXP ;) <BR> <BR>I think this would be an option for a lot of users too. Not everybody is on XP.

money for a Dll hack?............I think not.........but aside from that, WB&acute;s adds so much more functionality, I say it&acute;s a no brainer..... ;)

<BR>Well, to sum up the differences: <BR> <BR>The reason that every site doesn&acute;t have StyleXP themes is 3 fold. <BR> <BR>1. StyleXP is relatively new. After all, it wasn&acute;t brought about until the advent of WinXP. <BR>2. There is a certain amount of controversy over the way that StyleXP works. <BR>3. It only works with the XP OS. (That limits it to a smaller amount of users - especially since the XP OS is so &quot;hardware&quot; demanding compared to previous versions of Windows) <BR> <BR> <BR>The reason that there are a lot of skins for WB: <BR> <BR>1. Windowblinds has been around for a LONG time. <BR>2. Windowblinds works on older versions of Windows, so skins made can be shared with old and new versions. <BR>3. You can even use the UNREGISTERED version of WB. The only difference is that certain features (like skinned scroll bars) can only be used with the registered version.
