Stardock ForumsDoes it do 100% of the same as the full version? I rest my case. Hell, the full version doesn't do 100% of everything I want out of it.

[quote]Yes they are. so... again.. SPEAKING OUT OF TURN. Do your homework my friend. It's good advice.. promise [/quote] Hush, if the interface was a little "more intuative" maybe I'd find these burried options. There's not even any "detailed" docs for EVERYTHING in WB6 yet...

[quote]On the colour change screen (or the transparency changing screen) click on the combo box with "Change setting for all skins" and you will see Create new / delete preset.[/quote] You guys really don't belive in simple buttons do you? Why is the interface so burried in on itself? When do you think you'll change the option so that it doesn't apply changes on the fly like it does now... it's anoying? How about an option to turn this off please.

Ok, this part of the policy is kind of stupid because WB Shareware is useless and no one will get a good idea of what it can do from that cutdown version. I think it's time for a policy change... [I]*Please note that most Stardock programs have demo versions available for preview prior to buying. Since we do offer shareware versions and customer service is available to answer any questions about the software before and after ordering, full refunds will not be issued for functional sof

OK, the last part I take back, but the first still holds true. I hadn't noticed the option to Save the color changes.... it's kind of in a non-obvious place. I'd expect it to be on the color change screen.

There's a small bug with the colorizing screen in WB6. This probably goes in line with my other complaint about NEEDING to actually be able to hit APPLY on those screens before WB6 saves the settings as apposed to "auto/live saving" which is kind of stupid and there's no reason for it. Anyway, if you use coloring HSL stuff you can change the colors and then drag the color bars to pick a color, but you actually have to hit APPLY to actually color the skin with the new choice. Well, guess what,

[quote]I agree with you that I'd like to see it back too. But I wouldn't trade per-pixel for it. [/quote] Someone please give me a blantant example of what per-pixel does visually for us? I can't seem to find a definative answer to this to form a proper viewpoint on it. More specifically, tell me what you couldn't do without it that you can do now? Specifics please. Pictures would help.

[quote]Windows Vista has major limitations on skinning those windows. [/quote] Not arguing on a "technical level", but let's look at face value. Vista Aero=Skin Console.... Vista WB6=No Skin Console.

Must just be with other countries. What about cellular wireless? Do your cell phone carriers allow you unlimited data on their network with a cell card or with your smartphones tethered? I guess I take some of my stuff for granted, but I think I'd shoot myself before I had to deal with slow ass dial-up. I'd rather move then not have my broadband at least.

[quote]I though Microsoft would no longer certify programs which stored data in Program Files and that was the reason skins were moved.[/quote] It would be interesting if that is the case. I hadn't heard of that, but I kind of like that move from MS. In the end, I don't care how it's done, but I certainly don't like having my skins in a public folder like that. There has got to be a better way for you guys to do this and put them in the private folders. I have seldomly, if at all, s

OK, not to be offensive, but Dial-up?.... come on guys, it's almost 2008. I don't understand why people are surprised with corrupt packets or interrupted downloads on dial-up. Anyone remember zmodem setting for your old BBS software to alow you to "resume" a download when your line dropped. Now those were the times... :lol:

[quote]We picked that location because we needed a location that could be seen by all users and common documents is such a location. The other suitable location is the application data directory which is very well hidden on XP and Vista. If you run an app as another user (runas) it is important that the skin can be located or you would get odd results.[/quote] OK, that's basically what I thought and depicted in my post. However, leaving the skins in the Program File Windowblinds d

Can you guys please standardize on the location for the skins. I don't think the public folder location is a good place to put it at all. For one, in Vista this is a location that gets shared on a network if you set the network location preference to Private. Others can copy your skins or even corrupt/delete them accidentaly. Also, for DeskScapes you obviously are using the private user folder for storing the backgrounds/dreams. So, you obviously changed the location for one possibl

6.00[ b].099 is the version I have, and is the latest shown by SDC Thanks Captain Obvious. I have access to SDC as well and can update the version if I wish. The little "b" stands for Beta, so what's your point. I just wish NOT to run the Beta versions.... hell, even the non-beta versions have problems, but I just don't trust the Betas as of late.

Fuzzy, you have the same issue as me because you too are not running the newest Beta. With that said, back to my question.... when will the next "non-beta" release be out? Thanks.

This was resolved in the beta that went up last week. I no longer run the betas since I had some issues with them in 5.x. What is the date of your wbconfig.exe? Wbconfig.exe 2007/10/01 17:35:33

Couldn't agree more with this review of WB6. I'd say WB6 on XP with all the skins out there is great, but for Vista... meh, not so hot. Also, there's still a few things WB still doesn't do which I wish it would "once again" do as it used to. Some of you will know what I'm talking about.

I didn't say that anything else should be requiered. I didn't say that SD shouldn't fix hte animation. All I indicated is that with OD, this behavior doesn't happen. Therefore it "wins" Deep breaths JRS, it's still early in the day. Actually, it's funny you said that because I just realized that it's probably not hard to believe that a lot if not all the SD staff testers for WB or other SD apps have these other OD apps running.

Yes, yes, yes!!! Finally, someone else that noticed this. Yeah, I noticed this and reported it, but was shot down by people saying they didn't have this. It happens with any skin really. You just have to maximize and minimize quickly and after a few times the animations stop working either for that window or all windows. I'm on Vista Ultimate. And Zubaz, seriously dude, should people have to buy all the SD programs because one thing breaks another. Give me a break man... listen to

No offense, but that system is anything but Vista capable as HP puts it. That's funny. Anyhow, I'm willing to bet the video is shared memeory and with only 512 to work with, meh. BTW, I'd be very surprised if your "new" 160GB drive was faster then 7200 rpm. I'd be very surprised if someone saw fit to install a 10k drive in that. If they did, congrats, it's the fastest component in the system. In the end, the shared memory video may or may not be able to do Per Pixel and the Celeron + 512MB

This example has the window set to transparent....but it doesn't have to be....just an extra perk....
