This product is really bad. It conflicts with WindowBlinds and converts the theme to the fallback basic theme. I would also just recommend getting WindowBlinds since you can get aeroglass and more.

This tool allows me to make my window decorations (window top bar) visually match the stylings of the Cairo Desktop Environment shell, which I use, and is exactly why I purchased it, seemingly without any problems. Good job, and thank you!

If u want only the transparency for Windows explorer like i do prefers "FILES app" on windows store an Open source project more stable more many thing .
And if you use Groupy for also Windows explorer as well to navigate like on a modern browser use also "Files App".

Do not purchase any software from Stardock! Each year, they release a new version that lacks significant new features and is riddled with bugs. Additionally, they consistently bury the previous year's version on Steam in an effort to erase numerous negative reviews.
Although I've bought and endorsed Fences 3 and 4, Start10 and 11, and Curtains on Steam, I now regret having supported Stardock's software in the past.

I updated my windows 10 to win 11. Curtains was working just fine untill i reinstalled it. "Curtains is not compatible with windows 11." which means they want you to buy WindowsBlind11 from their website. This is not acceptable. It was an easy shortcut for changing themes but not worth paying 24 bucks at all.

It is ok... Some themes wont work, and updates needs to do trough in-app. Consider this as "Beta" or "Early Access".
Also Steam does not count usage time for this correctly so it is very hard to write these reviews. Still needs fixes and more compatible themes, only found one correctly working and nice enough so far to be able to use. Theme customization settings are all over the place, and it would he helpful to have just few settings for main colors etc. that actually works. I've been using Start10 (from their website) ever since I upgraded to Windows 10 and that has been great. I hope this software gets there some day too!

The customisations offered are very superficial. Most also look worse than the default Windows theme due to their garishness. Nothing classy at all. Their customer support also needs massive improvements. Haven't gotten a response to an enquiry in over 2 months.

Well,in my honest opinion about this app is,this app can be A LOT better if this application gets creators like Wallpaper engine does
Here are few Pros And Cons For the App
Pros
-Most of the Store Styles Ive seen(For now) Feels Really nice with the backgrounds
-As most ive seen from "Persona" Pack in the shop,i can see that it would be alot better
-Editing the settings is really easy when you get used to it(Porbably would take experience to understand it,but you would end up being good at it)
-If youre an artist,you might try this app to make your own cool content to support this! if this thing get huge like wallpaper engine does,it would be really nice!
-You can Customize Every single Theme with editing options,which is really nice
Cons
-there is nothing much in the library,since not too much people havent made any stuff for it
-Maybe 10$ is much for the app,couldve been around 6-7 ish $ but ive got for 9$,its not overpriced for me but Would be worth more if there is more peoples content in the shop!
-There is Custom Curtains community on original Stardocks site,That you can get more custom themed curtains,but it seems like it defeats the purpose of "Styles from Online Community" Since there is only Picked many options,I dont blame stardock for it either,since they have been using that site for really long time.
Here is the link that you can check the other custom curtains: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/curtains
OVERALL:I loved this program! i prob would use it for making it look like windows 95,xp and 2.0+apple,if it gets good content from games too,it would be really cool like those video games themed curtains would be really amazing for this!
Edit:Its been 8 months since i purchased This program yet i havent seen any problems or issues.And i also made my custom Curtains for the program too,there wasnt that much tutorial on how to make the Custom Curtains,but i did it by checking other edits+images how did they do that,It would be really nice if they would make a tutorial out of it though!
if you have any questions about it,you can message to this review!
