WindowsBlinds perhaps takes up more memory than visual styles but it takes less cpu to render than visual styles as it does not update the images constantly as Windows usually does and has hyper painting. So for people like me it gives some boost as memory is less of a problem. WindowsBlinds also skins more than visual styles and can skin every program I want it to. It also is capable of changing locations of buttons on the title bar and add many function buttons, that usually requiers loading up another program, witch then takes up more than just loading WindowsBlinds - with another words :You get full control of your skins. I have never expirienced it having negative effects on TLB stability. For some people hovever windows blinds does not run so well, just like TLB, that's just typical conflict beetween software and drivers and not usually is not the fault of the programmers.
