Are all of these features available to us lowly WinXP users?  Also, how is stability compared to the current Windowsblinds 6 release?

I'm probably just overlooking this, but what happened to the 'disable per pixel' option/setting, thingy? I want to use leo but with shadows disabled. Thanks..

Okay, apparently if I right click the task-bar button and click configure I go directly to the new UI and if I double click the icon I arrive at the classic UI. :)
