==Performance issues== Stardock WindowBlinds generally has had a bad reputation within the Windows modification community due to various parts of the software being poorly optimized. For example, when titlebar transparency is enabled, window titlebars become very laggy when several windows are opened, regardless of whether they're shown on the screen or not. This is due to the software constantly refreshing the blurred areas, creating a needlessly heavy load on both the [[Central processing unit|CPU]] and the [[Graphics processing unit|GPU]]. Even when titlebar transparency is not enabled, performance still significantly suffers, with programs often taking up to one to two seconds longer to open due to the way the software [[Hooking|hooks running processes]]. Users have also reported font preferences being ignored, and a small version of the [[Segoe]] UI font being forcibly used in [[Windows explorer|Windows Explorer]].
