bobbyhundreds: We are looking into that.

Anyone else experience WB6 killing DWM on Vista after restarting?

It happens randomly to me in that the DWM service doesn't start after a week or so of having WB6 installed. I have to uninstall WB6 completely to make the automatic service start actually work.

I can then reinstall and all works fine for a while, then for no reason, DWM doesn't start and I lose transparency. Physically starting the service works, but next reboot it will be closed down again. Auto start is enabled as is recovery.

Thanks Neil.  

Ok guys... here's my issue:

Love the new interface in the update today (Thurs, Aug 30) but the text is all white, and the background image/gradient is a baby blue to white fade.

This means that I cannot see but about the first 4-6 rows of text... anything below that is gone.

HELP! lol

My font is black.  Maybe the skin you are using?

Check replies 330, 332 and 340.

Every thing is fine here as well. Really enjoying the new build.

I have a UI suggestion, for the Systray Icon context menu: it would really be a boon to have "Reload Current Skin" on that context menu again - it would save a lot of time when developing a skin, since we're constantly reloading after changes.

Simply the BEST , just updated to the lastest..
Runs FAST , GREAT special effects , Molten skin is WILD
It just keeps getting BETTER.      

After installing make sure you use the rebuild skin list function. This brought back the skins that appeared to be missing!

I really like the new UI in this week's build. I do however think I've seen a reoccurance of a problem I had on early builds for Vista. Periodically when I reboot I don't get transparent taskbar. When thius happens I have to reset to Vista Aero. Then if it loads with transparency I can switch back to what ever WB skin I want. Sometimes though when I reset to Aero it doesn't come up transparent. Whan that happens I have to reboot and then Aero will be transparent and I can go back to a WB skin fine.

okay, someone really needs to leave a link to this Molten skin. You all keep fawning over it and a search returns the following...

The Mythical Molten screen shot references a WB skin from the Stardock Design Team, but of course, their is no link.

There is no link, it comes with WB6.

On Vista Home Premium 32bit the latest beta ran fine and looked very smooth. I like the new Vista-style interface.

This morning however my computer, totally unprovoked, would not boot into Windows - I'd BSOD out with a win32k.sys -8e style error. A bit of Googling in safe mode let me find one person out there who had the same problem, had deactivated Windowblinds and all was well.

I did the same and my computer seems to be running normally again. Although I'm using Aero these days anyway, I liked the new WB beta and hope to see this issue resolved.

If this has been flagged before, I apologise for reposting.
