WindowBlinds 6 Beta Feedback

Published on August 1, 2007 By Neil Banfield In Stardock Support General

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 have installed WB6 on a machine which has never had WB on it before to get a nice clean install. Had no problems with the installation or with the update...

The only issue I have is with the Diamond toolbar which does not display properly on my machine in Windows Explorer

The back, forward and stop button are not seperated properly. The toolbars for both Leo and Molten are both fine though...

Sorry, forgot to mention - this is running on Win XP

It seems that problem with the missing pixels above max. titlebar in Vienna skin was solved with the build .023

I've tried a second time and the install webt great. When I RIGHT CLIKC on the desktop Explorer.exe crashes. When I RIGHT CLICK in IE6 it automatically closes. When I unload WB^ and RIGHT CLICK on desktop and IE6 all is fine. Anyone else with this problem?

I love the new WB6. Just wish I could use it. Finally had to go back to WB5. I guess I'll have to wait for the full release.

Did you have the .23 build installed? That has a change to some menu related code which might have been conflicting with an IE and explorer addin on your pc.

Neil, Sorry I misunderstood. Yes, I had build .23 installed. Kept getting same message as in reply #186 only when I right clicked on the desktop. Again, when I right clicked anywhere in IE6 it colsed automatically.
Thanks again.

This is really good.Uninstall of WB5 no problem,install of WB6 no problem,all features working great.I didn't think the blur and transparency was going to work on my GForce6200 and XP combo but it does and it looks absolutely amazing.
One tiny thing though,I can't get the progress anims for the Diamond skin to load up and they don't show in the WB preview window.They are in the skin folder for Diamond,I can see them,but no matter what I do I just get the plain none skinned xp anims.Any ideas? do I need to re-name them or something?
Excellent update though and great new skins.

Another thing danilloOC needs to update, they are in skin folder but are not showing as being associated with skin when open in SkinStudio. I just added them to skin in SKS and they work fine now.
