The UI has come a LONG way

This month we unleashed WindowBlinds 6.0 to some pretty positive press and overall approval from the community.  As reviews come in for the newest version, it's interesting to look back in time to see what versions of WindowBlinds long past got for review scores.

BX dug up a review for WindowBlinds 0.95 on ActiveWin.com.  The review, while brief, talks about improvements since 0.90, the addition of a config tool, and is just loaded with screenshots of this pre-1.0 version.  Hit the link below to read the full review.  The overall rating was an "A"

Here's a shot of the old WBConfig window

You can see the skin Solarion was based on in the Installer screenshot.

I think the clue is in the name solarion. Both are Sun Solaris skins.

anyone remember what the skin in the semi-transparent menu screenshot is? used to be one of my favorites.

That's before I started using WB. I can't recall when I did, but it was sometime between version 1 and 2. But very interesting that it even had semi-transparency back then.

Hopefully no one comes here asking for help with a problem in WB 0.95... I would not know where to begin
