Experiences with Styler Toolbar 1.38 and WindowBlinds 5.01? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I'm just curious if there are people in this community who are running Styler Toolbar (or Styler full but w/Toolbar mode) and WB 5.01. I tried the downloadable "Evaluation Version" of Styler 1.38 and it raised havoc with WindowBlinds even though I checked to use "Toolbar mode". Are these two programs incompatible? or is it possible that there is something that needs to be configured to make them work together nicely? <img src="http://www.the-highway

If you use windowblinds set the program syler in "toolbar mode" otherwise it will mess your windowblinds skin Well, I tried the Evaluation version of Styler 1.38 with WindowBlinds 5.01 with the "toolbar mode" checked and it still raised havoc.

Curently I am running at 3200x1200 on dual 21" monitors. That is what Neil is referring to..... 3200x1200 which is very high resolution. Why not try reducing it down and see if you still have the problem?

WindowBlinds 5.x and explorer.exe in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem with WindowBlinds 5.xx and explorer.exe. If I change skins 3 or 4 times via the WB Configuration window and then reboot, I get the proverbial "Ending Process" dialog and I have to manually click on the "End Now" button. If I don't change skins, then there isn't a problem rebooting. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

Bichur, Tried that and no go! But I just noticed that there was an update for WinCustomize Browser, so I went ahead and grabbed it and now everything is working fine. Who knows? But it's working again and I'm happy.

WinCustomize Browser problem in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

I have a problem trying to update the "Libraries" section of my WinCustomize Browser and the "Comments" feature isn't working either. When I first open the browser, I am automatically logged in and then the download dialog displays but then fails with the following error: "There was an error downloading the selected library, please try again". I've shutdown my firewall, flushed dns cache, deleted TIF's, etc., etc. but still no go?? Version current

WB 5.xx and TorsionBar skin issue in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

This issue has been previously discussed on the wincustomize forums and reported to Stardock by Mike Bryant, but it's been awhile and no resolution has come. So, I thought I would bring it up again here in the hopes that someone might have a fix for the problem. In Mike's excellent update of Dangeruss' WB skin TorsionBar found here: Link , the Toolb

It's always great to see how WindowBlinds is "becoming" yet remains so far ahead of all its competitors it really has "arrived". And yeh, what is "Taskbar blurring"?? And where is the option to be found??

Reply to Adding an icon to an existing IP set? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

Okay.... I realize what the problem is.... apparently the author has updated this package and added in the "My Documents" folder icon but with a different one than is offered in the single download he linked to. I loaded the package and didn't see any yellow triangle for the "My Documents" icon, e.g., in the "Desktop" icons section. But I didn't see ANY icon for "My Documents" in the "Folders" section. So, I assumed that it needed to be added. Thus came my confusion, especi

Reply to Adding an icon to an existing IP set? in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Thanks Jim, But that doesn't help. I want to ADD a missing icon, e.g., in this particular case, the My Documents[folder] icon; not replace an existing icon. So again...... how do you ADD a new icon to an existing IP set.

Adding an icon to an existing IP set? in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

In the new "OHMYNitroLite.ip" set, the author accidentally left out the "My Documents" icon. He provided a link to download this individual icon, but I don't know how to add it to the set. Could someone provide step-by-step instructions for adding an icon to an existing IP set? THANKS!

Reply to Skinning PuTTY Configuration Window with WB per-pixel skin in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Your observation is the same as mine, re: PuTTY. The configuration window skins fine with a non per-pixel skin. But with a WB 5 compliant per-pixel skin, the window isn't fully skinned but immediately changes and is fully skinned when it is moved; even slightly. Admittedly, this doesn't bother me at all since I only use the configuration window to load a saved session and make the connection.

Reply to Per Pixel - Snag It - only captures 'small bits' now in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

However, after you capture the window using the "Capture Region" profile, there shouldn't be much of anything "extra". And, the image captured can easily be edited in SnagIt. I've done it this way every since WB 5. was released and never had a problem capturing a standard window. Can you give an example of a capture you've done which has lots of these "extra surrounding graphics" included? That might help.

Reply to Per Pixel - Snag It - only captures 'small bits' now in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Here's an easy solution..... use the "Capture Region" profile instead. And I find that after clicking on the profile I want to use, and returning to the window, item, or page I want to get a screenshot of, pressing the "Prtscn" key (SnagIt's default hot key) allows me to do things which pressing the "Capture" button doesn't allow me to do.

Open skinstudio and edit them from there. Thanks oh great "Swarmed One"! hehe I do appreciate you taking the time to reply.

Recolouring Toolbar icons? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I'd like to try my hand at recolouring a set of simple one-colour Toolbar icons to match a particular skin. So, I need to know: 1) What program to use to do the recolouring, e.g., PaintShop Pro, Animation Shop, SkinStudio, IconDeveloper???? 2) What file(s) are effected? e.g., must each individual set (Explorer Large/Large Hot, etc.) be recoloured or can you simply open up the main xxxx.toolbaricon file and recolour the entire bunc

Small issue with 'TorsionBar" WB skin in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

That version of WindowFX is not compatible with WindowBlinds 5.xx. You need to download the latest Beta version of WindowFX 3.0 through Stardock Central.

Reply to WindowFX 3 beta: No Transitions / No Shadows / Only transparency as drag-effect in WindowFX Stardock Forums

I don't have any problem with "transitions" or "shadows". But I have 3 issues (bugs) with this new Beta version: 1) Right-clicking on the icon in the SystemTray, it takes about 15 seconds for the WindowFX window to open. 2) I cannot enable the option for WindowFX to run on Startup in "System Settings". 3) Likewise, I cannot disable "Show the WindowFX icon in the system tray (reloading it will display this config dialog)" in "System Settings" either. <br/

Reply to Archived WindowBlinds file question in Object Desktop Stardock Forums

There may very well be a problem on my end, but if there is, how do I go about finding out what it is and then correcting it? Out of curiosity, I manually archived a couple of the other Stardock apps I have installed, e.g., SkinStudio and IconPackager and both of those worked fine; i.e., the .zip files are populated as expected. But manually archiving WindowBlinds once again only created an empty 1K .zip file.
