Do note that not everyone has WindowsBlinds.. plus, I prefer to patch UXTheme since windows blinds used to have some bugs on my PC, apart from taking up extra resources.

If you use UXTheme Patch is it easy to go back to using the OSs interface?

Here's anothewr answer for theumad. I have windowblinds on a laptop. A recent looksee by me and WB takes up all of 3% of available resources and that's running one of the heaviest blinds, No Load Limit. So I can imagine what a really powerful rig would experience.

Yes, the UXTheme patcher can resotore to the original windows files since it backs up the files.

Well, it did take up to 50-100MB of RAM sometimes, however the most frustrating thing I used to experience was a bug with the progress bar where putting a window on top of a progress bar made the progress bar move forward and then I removed the window from on top of the progress bar, then the progress bar would return to its proper size.
