Please post all feedback about the WindowBlinds 6 beta on this thread.

Note that the beta is for 32 bit XP and Vista systems only.  Please do not post about it not working on 64 bit XP/Vista.  Please continue to use WB 5.51 on those platforms.

This beta is for Object Desktop customers ONLY.  Standalone WindowBlinds 5 owners will not be able to activate this build.

Please note that you must have Stardock Central 2.46 Build 154 or later to install the WindowBlinds 6 betas. If you try and use older versions, it'll eventually timeout and give you an error about an invalid URL.

If you have problems with it running at all, please uninstall WB6, reboot and then try reinstalling WB6 again.

I'm running XP. When I turn on blur, the window frame turns to magic pink when I drag any window. Here are my details:

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6 (6.0 (beta build 18 x86))

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

For those looking for Vector Cell: WWW Link

And archiving the skins through SDC has NEVER worked for me. It just gets stuck loading the file list, and would get stuck for an hour before I gave up. Looks like I'll have to get Aura from a backup dvd. Really crappy that the skins were somehow deleted, especially since I told WB to leave all the skins, themes, etc when I uninstalled.

CodF4ther: if you have a process called ipoint.exe running please kill it.

The latest version of MS intellipoint is highly buggy and causes glitches like this (it seems to be capturing the contents of every window - exactly why is a question for Microsoft)

Easy to update with no more than a restart!

One issue I've run in to is that excluding an application from being skinned leads to some undesirable results. The title bar on the app I exclude just seems to go completely transparent. I can still drag the window by the transparent titlebar, but I can't click on the min/max/close buttons.

I'm trying to exclude Office 2007 apps because with any skinning enabled it messes up the VBE userform interface when programming in VBA. The handles to size the form are inaccessible and if you try to enter in a different caption (title bar text) the userform begins to resize itself smaller and smaller with every character you enter.

Install was painless for me and is working great. Great job on the transparency and blur effects. Another great job by the Stardock team.

Everything is working fine on my XP Lappy. I love the new skins Diamond, Leo and Molten if I am correct, it is just those three. I only lost Vector Cell, got it on backup though.

WB6 did try to install while I was rebooting from WB5 uninstall, but was able to cancel The install in time. So no WB6 install problems.

Thanks for the hard work!
