WindowBlinds 4.5 works just great for me, no crashes, no bugs, no performance hit.

It curdled, and then I couldn't drink it. So I mixed it with some water, and it was alright again.

I am now sick.

Version 4 and above use hardware acceleration for their effects. There is basically no performance loss at all compared to using default XP themes. And it skins EVERYTHING.
