Last week, Stardock released WindowBlinds 6. In addition, there's the impending release of SkinStudio 6. So there are a lot of changes happening in the world of Windows skinning. WindowBlinds and Windows Vista are opening doors to new skinning possibilities. In fact, we have skinners now specifically targeting the new capabilities of WindowBlinds 6 and Windows Vista when creating skins. Unfortunately, until now there wasn't an easy way to find those skins.
Skinners who have uploaded WindowBlinds skins in the last week or so probably noticed that there are some new options at the bottom of the upload form:

Which is all well and good if you're clicking on each skin individually, but what if you want to quickly find all skins that have WindowBlinds 6, or Windows Vista features (or both)? Today, we've added a new filter to the WindowBlinds gallery so you can do just that. You can filter by WindowBlinds 6 Ready or Windows Vista Ready (or both). To make things even easier, we've added the filter links to the top of all WindowBlinds pages:
We hope this makes it easier for everyone to find exactly what they're looking for in the WindowBlinds gallery.
