WindowBlinds is a program that enables users of Microsoft Windows to apply themes (which we refer to as "skins" or "visual styles") that change the look and feel of your Windows GUI. However, WindowBlinds 4.5 allows users to change the color of each particular "theme". Traditionally, people would download a given "theme" and if it wasn't the color they liked, they were out of luck. Now, with WindowBlinds 4.5's hue/saturation support, the skin's default colors are only the beginning...

Let's have some fun with the new coloring feature of WindowBlinds 4.5. I don't think most users, even long time users, really appreciate just how powerful the built in coloring features are in this new version. Going to a hue-based coloring system is a big deal.

To demonstrate it in action, I'm going to pick a skin that that one wouldn't necessarily would realize how much coloring it would add to its longevity - Morphium's SouLuna skin.

So the image to the right here is how it looks on my system with no coloring at all.

So here's what I do. I click on the "Change Skin Color" in the WindowBlinds configuration (found in your system tray typically or by double clicking on the WindowBlinds icon).

Now I'm going to go to town..

Now it's somewhat bluer..

I feel..pretty..

All business now!

Evergreen enough?

How about now?

Drab?

Same as above but with saturation turned up a bit.

Bloody!

Far out! (inverted)

My final desktop appearance today with the colors changed. I've got so many blue skins already that it's sometimes interesting to go with a skin that has more of an earth tone. But as you can see, with the hue/saturation/gamma features of WindowBlinds 4.5, you can get a lot of different looks with just a single skin...
