Thanks bigmuscle for clearing that up for me - so while WindowBlinds is working fine (without blur though) your solution should provide better performance as it does "not take over" the system that much, if I understand correctly. Anyway - great two have even two options to getting that crappy look of Win 8.1 back to eye candy .. Keep going - I keep watching and will make my decision when versions are final (WindowsBlinds currently does not have a full "like Win 7" aero theme as well). Thanks again - Macsass

Hi, I really like what bigmuscle is doing - when I found his page, that was what made me install Win 8.1 on my new PC instead of Win 7, because I really hate the look of Win 8.1. May I ask one thing I was not sure about: In comparison to "WindowBlinds" what advantages does the solution of bigmuscle have? If I see this correctly then WindowBlinds gives me transparency and rounded corners as well as windows shadows. What seem to be missing from WindowBlinds is blurring and reflection maps? Is this differentiation correct? Or am I missing other features as well when comparing those two solutions? Thanks for clearing that up for me - MacSass
