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.

Were you running wbconfig with the black UI option previously?

The updated Molten is excellent

Didn't work.....
I was using Ares, removed the files mentioned from Acrylic and then applied the Skin, checked and there was no change, still basic blue. I rebooted just to be sure but My Documents came up without skinned shellstyles on the first try.


Lantec: could you please zip this skins that are you having problems with and e-mail 'em to danillooc(at)stardock(dot)com?


Sorry about not responding earlier but I wanted a chance to test all my skins and got busy at the office before I could. I found that all my skins show this problem. I assume since I'm the only one seeing it it's some other program I'm running on both my systems.

I use several explorer plug-ins and I'm thinking one of them is probably the culprit. Plug-ins: Styler Toolbar, QTTab Bar, Folder Size, Folder Box, Wildcard Select. A while back I was also using Windowpaper but I was seeing some strange results such as filenames not displayed in thumbnail view so I uninstalled it. I still have a couple customized folders showing the effects of it though.

I've gone to using "Classic Folders" since I rarely used any of the "Common Tasks"

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.


Not sure why this is still being missed, but the latest 5.91 beta just released still has this problem. It was a problem in 5.5 and fixed in the last release of 5.51, so hopefully someone will see this and fix it in WB6.

Here is the link to the WB5 thread about it https://forums.wincustomize.com/?forumid=167&aid=153447 You will see that Neil Banfield posted it was reproduced and fixed.

Hmm, yes.

From the new wbconfig window not see language settings option

Is there a way to copy all the data from system information to the clipboard with a button in the config?  Make it easier for folks to post it here at WC?

When i click a txt file ( or view a picture ), then i have to wait some seconds before i can click the txt file again ( or view a picture ). For some strange reason it hangs for some seconds.


Same here...seems to hang almost everytime.

Hey just wanted to add, that the latest build (5.91.038 for me) is looking gooooood! The molten theme seems to have the few things fixed from before. Now I'll just have to try and see if it still hangs up when I try and change my desktop picture. Now that there IS a picture with the Molten WB, there really isn't a need to.

I just wanted to give some compliments on a job well done before I start messing around with it and forget.

Again, it looks like WB6 is coming along nicely, and I must say that my new WB is going to be Molten for awhile, it looks really sharp (except the mouseover on the All Programs under XP, but that's a minor thing).

Yep; rolled back to last beta, turn off black UI, updated to current again, now have black text. Thanks Neil.

Downloaded the new version and I am loving it.

I really like the new WB Config interface.

If you install on a system that doesn't have WB already installed - there is no reboot required - nice.

Great job all.

WB6 is very awesome and I like it very much.  The Latest WB6 Beta with Diamond theme will shine the button. But this effect is wrong with the tool buttons of Adobe Flash and Illustrator CS3. It will overfill the buttons with shining tetragon.

Like this :


And WB6 does not show correctly in Windows Titlebars which uses Unicode characters.

Is there anything that can be done about this? It happens on a lot of skins...you can't see any of the text in the WB Config screen.
on Aug 30, 2007
WebGizmos: That is normal.  The config options are no longer part of the preview.  They are on the left of the preview.

Hi Neil,can you please confirm that the problem in this ( WWW Link ) thread is being looked into.Sorry I may have posted it in the wrong place.  I'm not demanding an immediate fix or anything like that,just confirmation that a fix is in the pipeline.  
At some point I would like to be able to use all of the features on my new pc. but am prevented from doing so if WindowBlinds is installed because of a conflict between vista/windowblinds and the remote sensor (usb) for my media centre remote.
Thanks
