The new WindowBlinds beta has been released. This build focuses on working with Windows 7 (and maintaining functionality in Vista and XP).
Known issues:
- Compact start menus are right out.
- Paint and Write titlebars are . . not right.
Post anything that looks odd. Make sure to give us your WB system information from the WB app, your OS (including 32 or 64 bit), and if it's hard to explain (or even if it isn't) a screenshot.
