Default Anyone got WINDOWBLINDS programme?

Just downloaded the shareware version for messing around with. For those that don't know what it is, look here;

http://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/

The shareware one don't have as many options for customising, but has a bunch of preloaded skins in it plus different icon packages, plus you can do other stuff (only had it literally 5 mins so not explored all of it yet lol )

This one is quite nice tho - "Simple Alpha" (click links below each pic for full size pic)

Nice touches are the semi transparent borders, slim line toolbars etc...

Ive heard people going into bios and changing the clock times etc to lengthen trial periods on stuff you download, but i personally wouldnt do it as its all abit sketchy to me
