Download – Softer WindowBlinds Theme Suite for Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7

Softer (TM Suite)
By Philly0381

Author’s Notes:

The core for this Suite in the WindowBlind Theme Softer by 2of3. Having recently been promoted to Master Skinner, 2of3 hasn’t yet figured out he can now sell his Themes. Please, don’t anyone tell him.

2of3 I believe has the traits of a true skinner, he skins because he enjoys it. With each new skin that he submits you can see that by how he picks his graphics for the theme.

2of3 has made this Theme for XP, Vista and Win 7. I have it running of Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit, the only problems being RightClick. A couple of friends lent thier talents and skills in doing DX and ObjectDock skins. I have taken the liberty and added a few other non-themed skins to help fill out the suite.

Aero Snap is another new feature in Windows 7 that aims at improving user experience and enhances the concept of “Natural User Interface” GUI. In Windows 7, Aero Snap gives user ability to arrange, resize, snap or maximize the windows on desktop by just drag and drop.

For example, user can drag a window (in title bar) to the left or right side of the desktop (in any monitor for multiple monitor system) to snap the window (maximize window vertically to top and bottom) or drag and drop to the top to fully maximize the window screen. User can then drag the window back to the last position, and the last window size will be automatically restored.
