Curtains CPU resource usage while gaming

from Stardock Forums

The only thing I want is to add blur to Windows File Explorer.  I don't want to change any anything else.  Will Curtains use CPU cycles to maintain this effect? 

While gaming, I don't want to waste 1%-2% CPU cycles for a cosmetic effect.  I know in the past, Stardock WindowsBlinds costed 1%-2% CPU to maintain it's themes.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble.

I don't see that you have installed \ used Curtains yet.  If you have not, I would encourage you to install the trial to see if it is going to meet your needs.

Thanks.  But, I'm not having trouble.  I was just asking a question about general CPU utilization for Curtains.  I didn't want to waste my time downloading/installing/uninstalling if it utilizes CPU similar to WindowsBlinds.

Curtains is much lighter than WB.
