Ok then, good to know.

iconv.dll is not a dll used by WindowBlinds.

By edit do you mean double clicking on an image?  If so whatever app is associated with editing .PNG is incorrectly installed on your PC.

You may need to close & reopen the sidebar when changing sidebar skins.

Works good here. I had a problem at first. I had uninstalled WB5 then installed WB6 Beta right away no skins worked. I then uninstalled WB6, restarted and then install WB6 Beta and it worked. I noticed i only have 2 skins that work on this though. The Leo and the Diamond. I have seen people talk about a Dragon skin yet i dont have it?

The dragon skin is Molten...check the start menu.

What do you mean those are the only 2 that work?

They are not the only 2 that work. But they were the only 2 that i seen added upon install of WB6. I still have all my other skins that were previously installed. No sense of testing the Beta if i use skins that do not take advantage of the new style. (Blurred window)

Okay i do have Molten. I am currently using Leo. I have tried Diamond. I will try out Molten next.

Makaveli213....The "Dragon skin"...Its called "Molten" and should be in your list.

I didnt really have any problems  , I do have two suggestions,

1. I think it would be less problematic if the the install automatically uninstalled WB5-rebooted-started WB6 install on startup (auto). No one really wants to see classic   

2. As a preference only, I don't care at all for the dotted lined parts of the interface. Looks cheap and unfinished.

That aside, Great update and super job on the animation in the Molten skin, Chaninja's I assume.

Really cool thanks for the update

the install need to be more clear but it's all i noticed for now

Edit, after further review I am having a couple of significant issues , When Maximizing a window.. during the "window animation" when resizing to Maximized, momentarily, the titilebar fonts, in several skins is appearing HUGE..

The same thing is happening when letting go of a taskbar button to activate a window. momentarily the taskbar font appears HUGE

Secondly, several skins are missing pixels above the maximized windows, LEO being one of them, also my Vienna WB

This is after several un\re-loads \ reboots.

Miranda IM crashes upon start on Windows XP. That doesn't happen if set as per application. Doesn't happen in Vista with excact the same build (0.7 beta 35).

The problem with Miranda IM has been fixed in the next beta build.

Didn't read eveything before but here's my bug report

1°) it had broken my catalog skins and i can't find anymore the way to rebuilt it ...

2°)
pretty nice on the Molten skin

3°)
can't see how to save anything ...

4°)
Doesn't work at all

5°)
tried that on Molten skin, i chosed "freen" and it became "red"

6°)
tried that on different skins, doesn't work on any

7°)
????? can't see nowhere anything relative to these points

8°) didn't tried anything on "wallpaper" just because all the previous "Wallpapers functions" even in previous WB versions are just weird working here ...

9°) going quickly back to WB5 ...

Ok i just loaded my current WIP skin, the titlebar button "area" is now lower in the titlebar than in WB 5, it is no longer centered, the system Icon and Fonts also not centered. Looks bad.

So..now, I cant really design it correctly for release as it looks different depending on what Version of WB you are using.   

You can rebuild the skin list from the Skin Options drop down in the Change how my windows look screen.  Click it and a menu appears which lets you pick Rebuild skin list.

On the change colours in skin page, there is a combo box that says Change setting for all skins.  Click this and a drop down appears with create new / delete preset.  Do this to make a new preset and then adjust it as you want.  This is now saved against that skin and can be picked from the Change how my windows look page under the substyles drop down (far right under the preview)

Yes it does.  You pick a colour in the skin, set a range and then change the colour using the usual Hue slider on the far left.  To open the advanced HSL dialog, you need to ensure you are in HSL mode and then click the icon with the dotted rectangle around it to the right of the hue slider.

Freen?

Only some skins come with that (Diamond does) and it is a Vista only feature.

Control transparency and blur is on the Control transparency and blur page.

Saving skin changes as presets is done via Change colours in skin and control transparency and blur.

Sidebar skins are vista only as is use aero frames with the rest of the skin.

Adjusting the pulsing and mouseover speeds is done from the Advanced User settings page

Handling skin upgrades better is transparent to the user.  There is no visible UI for it.

 

VStyler: The position of titlebar buttons etc does not change from release to release.  As far as I am aware it is working exactly as it did with WB5.5.
