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.

Seems WB6 is not compatible with Supreme Commander. I couldn't start the game without switching back to Aero.

Ran across a new problem with .026 - active window frame right is painting lighter than the source image, by about 20 RGB points.



The image on the left is how WB6Config previews the close button & top portion of the window frame right (correctly). The image in the middle is the source image. The image on the right is the close button & top portion of the window frame right as WB6 applies it to the active window - you can easily see the lighter hue of the two right-most pixel columns (the top portion of window frame right). Using magic pink trans.

Did not notice this until the .026 update, but could have been there before since it is subtle.

I'm getting a button glow effect after image when using Diamond.

Mousing over the buttons makes it go away.
If I have multiple windows open, mousing over the button on the other windows have no effect, it has to be the one it originally came from.

Leo vista- calendar is not skinned when you expand it from the taskbar... shiny purple colours!

Working for me now at least All is well except.



The rounded taskbar has a solid background behind it thanks to the sidebar. Even when skinned by WB6 this issue still occurs.

Any chance of an x64 version for Vista sometime soon?

Bichur, looks like it's a bad skin cash problem, try open the skin folder and delete all files with the extension ".WB4" and reapply the skin.

Septimus, the background is looking right looking at first in your screenshot but I can really tell cause this screenshot is too small, could you please like a bigger screenshot of that area?

Here's a glitch I ran into with the Diamond skin. The title bar text is way out of alignment.

Kind of disappointing since I was waiting to use this skin. Hope someone can fix this. The other skins that came with it work fine...as do the other skins I have.

Call me an idiot , but how do i upgrade stardock central?

I had reported (along with several others) a problem in WB 5.5 not displaying certain dialogs and menus in specific applications. One of them was the Outlook 2007 Rules and Alerts dialog. It showed nothing in the dialog. This problem was reproduced in your support lab and fixed with the last update to WB 5.5.

It is back as a problem in the WB6 beta release.

Sorry, the dialog problem I reported above is on 32bit Vista.

Hey Neil, it is the skin, maybe an older work in progress version slipped in?, I had to adjust y offset for buttons from 16 to 2, had to adjust content top margin for caption and maxed caption from 12 to 0.

The 2 for button offset is the setting in the Vista sub skin, top content margin in it is 1.

Was just the buttons in per pixel section, the free form buttons are at y offset of 0.

A couple questions out of curiosity 1) why was Diamond made in UIS1+ format, 2) since in the Window Borders section there are no non per pixel images, where are the images called from for in a MDI app.

Thanks Neil! That did the trick! So...was this skin started with WB4 and the files were left in?

One thing that happened after deleting the WB4 files is nothing shows in the WB Config list for Diamond now...no biggy cause the skin works...but thought you or the author would like to know.
