Windowblinds just skins the windows and taskbar while flyakite changes everything-your bootscreen,icons,startup sounds etc. so there is no point comparing the two.

Try Style XP's Panther theme (comes in the malepack by default) or try UxTheme Patcher from www.neowin.net to patch the shell files directly without any s/w...

Flyakite is a shell pack and not an app
