Fun with WindowBlinds 5.5

One of these is Windows Vista by default and one of these is Windows XP with WindowBlinds
5.5 running. Of course, if you look closely at the text in the notepad windows, it's pretty easy to tell.​
​
But check out that the non-Vista actually is more consistently Vista than Vista (you'll know what I mean when you look at the non-theme aware app pictured).​

No ! i am not opposing you... but the thing is .... that windows vista displays time (watch ) at the bottom on taskbar.... is like this EXample: AM 9:15 or it displays the 24hr. time.... :D and it cant be changed though Default THeme without tweaking... (so whether it is tweaked) or ( it is windows XP)

it may be RTM then... the final display time like that... as i told you.. another thing is that.. windows Vista gives a shadow on the top of all windows whether Transperency is enabled or not... and the third one look closely at the picture.. and notice the ICONS.... after hacking or tweaking windows many things were changed... as a FINAL version is in market from 20 JAN.. while windows Vista was launched on 30th JAN... so its THAILAND version you are using.. and maybe wincustomize guys too. :p :D

Also the blue 'change the way windows looks' box in the left picture is not transparent.

Its so simple to figure out , the First one is XP with Windows blinds and the Second one is Vista.


See the diffusion behind the translucent vista window title bars

And this is simple tranperency old style , best possible in XP with WB

The 1st one is WB. Its easy to tell, just like tareq has said.
BTW, I'm using WB Vista style. :)

You can make out from the icons that the second one is Vista...much higher colour depth...

1St is Vista

2nd is WB

Dude if you cant tell difference between simple tranperency and the frosted glass effect then wb is perfect for you. Btw you are seriously wrong.
