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 think the location of all this typical of the Vista standards. Everything for a user goes there. It makes backup very easy.

I'd expect to see more of it from other apps in the near future, not just Stardock


Someone should let the developers of ObjectDock and Soundpackager know about this; they are putting stuff in My Documents>Stardock


3. ALL my Per Application settings disappeared. I had about 6 apps excluded and none are showing now.


Same here.

Backup is already very easy. And I hate having stuff buried in the fifth or sixth sub-subfolder & having to navigate to it.

I've had to add outlook express to my per application settings since yesterdays update - everytime i clicked an item on the tool bar outlook express would just immeadiately close. I also lost all my per application settings too. Sorry guys I cant do a carriage return for some reason here so this is all one paragraph    Cheers Gilly

silverspider2005: Which OS are you using and what skin?

Regarding missing exclusions, copy wbperapp.ini from the WB dir to the new skins folder.  The file was missed in the migrate.

Well...~! Seems there are some rather interesting problems related not to the program. But to how it has changed is all for everyone else.
Mine here on Vista is improved with better placement. The file rearrangement was of no problem. Special thanks to a thread by Night Train on where to edit the reg.'s to move the files to another location beside my public folder. So just placed them on C:\ and called it good with a bit of group policy for access of other users. [just to be sure of no probs...]
What I would like to see is a code presentation screen for each area being skined as we had with SKS5. That or atleast a button to open the code for the specific area in like note pad. Would save me a ton of time doing edit's with new code not present with the program itself.
So actually as far as that goes the new WB6 update is fine - a very good beta update!
Oh and if any of you had saved to an archive the former version? There would of been no problems with a roll back. If thats what you prefer to do. Myself I'm more into beta testing with no hands tied with everything completely backed down to the last detail. [ You have to think for yourself and stay ahead of any type of change or malfuctions...] so far so good too - more like great~!

Keep up the good work Stardock I'm enjoying every minute of this release year...~!

Oh and here is the latest work for edit with WB6 and SKS6...

OK where is the toggle to turn off loading wb on startup? I cannot find anything with the beta that allows me to disable running at startup/login.

Also I have noticed on occasion that when unloading the beta, when the screen does blur out that the blur holds for almost a full minute. This when I have had the machine quiet and not running any active apps... just idle.

thanks

Worked like a charm! Thanks, Neil.

Kevison: To stop WindowBlinds running at startup you apply a non WB skin (classic or XP style / Aero).

That is how WB has worked on XP and above since WB 3.

Thanks Neil.... I must be loosing my mind. As soon as I read you post, I suddenly remembered. Thanks~

@ Neophil, #3:
I have the same problem, Neophil. This is the first post I've seen that mentions the prob. I upgraded to WB6 and Start Meneu and Taskbar were skinned 'til I rebooted, then both were rendered in Windows Classic only. When I opened WBconfig, the skin did not show a taskbar in the preview! If there was a substyle to the skin, it still had the taskbar visible in the preview pane, and a skinned taskbar and Start Menu...until reboot, then also that substyle had no taskbar in the preview pane. Any skin I chose, same behavior. Diamond ran until I rebooted, then no taskbar skinned and none visible in the preview pane. Only way I fixed it was to delete the theme and reinstall it, then fine 'til next boot! Weird, yes. Hope it gets fixed soon

I have the same problum help

When ever you apply a new skin or re-apply a skin, the "My Documents " window resizes to the default size. It is quite irritating.
I am using XP SP2.

Your getting there Neil.
The latest release seems to have fixed my Windowblinds button and I still have my exclusions (albeit the ones I made after the last update)

Could anyone who had the BSOD issue with their MCE remote please try the current beta.  We are fairly certain that the issue is fixed.
