Reply to It's Feb 5... where's WB5.5 at? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Thanks Zoomba. At least that puts it to bed. SD should have made an anouncement on Wincustomize to the fact though... especially if they posted an exact date in a previous article. I think people would have gotten mad about the "no show" release (like me) rather then a post stating that it's getting pushed back. At least you're fixing the issues... now one last request... please fix them properly and not in a rushed manner because people are foaming at the mouth to get the release quickly.

Hummm, I'm glad everyone loves me. Anyway, it's 8:15pm now and still no WB5.5 on SDC. So much for that Feb 5 release date posted in a SD article on Wincustomize depicting the release schedule for Vista geared apps. Here's a copy/paste of the article I'm talking about. Your GUI your way: WindowBlinds 5.5 Windows Vista's new look -- Aero, looks awesome. I like it a lot. But I also like to personalize my UI to look how I want it to look. Luckily you can -- with WindowBlinds

It's Feb 5... where's WB5.5 at? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Just what the title asks... It's 10:25am on Feb 5 and there's no WB5.5 in sight on the Stardock Central downloads. What up with that yo?

Reply to WB 5.1 issues in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

As I have previously explained, this is unlikely to change. Silly question, maybe... maybe not, but "Unlikely to change with WB5.x in XP" or "Unlikely to change with WB5.x in XP or Vista or for that matter in any new version of WB"? Because if it's the later I'd have to ask you why Vista doesn't "natively" have this issue with it's Aero theme.<

WB 5.1 issues in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Hey guys, I'm sure you might remember my complaints about having a per-pixel skin in WB5.x and then clicking on the title bar of the task manager would cause the task manager to freeze the redraw of itself until you let go of the mouse button. If you don't, try it and you'll see what I'm talking about. Well, it seems that the same can be said about the clock in Windows. If you open up the clock so that you're looking at the analog dial and the calendar and then click the title bar the

This isn't rocket science....but the implimentation of WB functionality within the MS OS is. Hummm, seems to me that WB's main swing into fame is that it uses full MS APIs that are built into the OS to do what it does. Your quote above makes it seem like that statement from Stardock is incorrect and that WB's changes to Windows is being done in

Just calm, down behave civil, and you might get some answers. I'm sorry, I must have missed the posts I made where everything is in CAPS. Or maybe not. Seems to me that you guys seem to be thinking I'm here bouncing off the walls and yelling at my PC as I post. In reality... wth is up with you guys? You have very active imaginations. <br/

Let's find out... develop a program that works, let us know when it's done.

Reply to How to evaluate for Vista before purchase if I can't download it? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

wolfgrrl, just buy WB5.1. With that purchase you will get access to Stardock Central and be able to download the 5.49.xx beta version of Windowblinds. Either that or just wait until it comes out in a few weeks. Also, if I were you I'd worry more about updating your RC2 version to the final before I'd worry about putting Windowblinds on it.... 5600 isn't going to run forever. For all the Stardock peeps... are we finally going to get command prompt skinning back in WB5.5 or WHAT?!?! W

Reply to How to evaluate for Vista before purchase if I can't download it? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Am I missing something here? What part of "not available as a standalone release until..." don't you comprehend? Hope that wasn't directed at me. My statement above was to correct Jafo's incorrect statement that Vista as of yet is not out of Beta or RC status... which it is. Personally I could care less about what the OP stated. Howev

Reply to How to evaluate for Vista before purchase if I can't download it? in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Vista has not been released [Gold] yet... so Windowblinds for Vista's RC/betas is also a Beta...and thus is not available as a trial. Vista is RTM. Stardock has this RTM version and so do people that have MSDN subs. Just because you can't go out and buy it yet doesn't mean it's not final or for that matter "released" as you put it.

Reply to Come on Stardock!!! in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

The number of users who care about it are much less than the number of users who would use the wallpaper changer for example. Yeah, because it's really hard to right-click on the desktop and change your wallpaper that way. So basically you're introducing a "feature" to make a process easier rather then a "feature" that actually introduces a new

Reply to Come on Stardock!!! in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Maybe so, but without the command prompt being skinned it just makes WB5.1 seem WEAK.... like StyleXP WEAK... know what I mean?

Come on Stardock!!! in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Well, we're now on 5.1 and still no skinning of the command prompt window. This was the best capability of 4.6 alone... I only have one thing to say... W T F?!?!

IE7 is not technically in BETA anymore... latest edition is RC1.

Reply to Favorites problem in IE7 RC1 in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

So why was it there when it was 5.x beta and then gone and fixed in the final 5.01 version?

Reply to Favorites problem in IE7 RC1 in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

It would be a waste of development time to look into minor issues like this when there is every chance the problem will be fixed in the next IE7 build Ok, not doging you on this, but the issue was there with IE6 as well until you fixed it. So, my point is... it wasn't fixed by an IE update, just like it won't be fixed in IE7 once it goes to RTM,

Reply to Favorites problem in IE7 RC1 in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

^^^ Not exactly what I'm looking for. The problem is with WB5 and IE7 not the overall system. Uninstall WB5 or IE7 (downgrade back to IE6) and the problem goes away. Whatever the problem was with the Favorites toolbar in IE6 needs to be rectified in WB5 when used with IE7 as well.

Favorites problem in IE7 RC1 in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Remember that bug I posted a while back about having expanding arrows on actual links in My Favorites menu in IE? Well, along the lines of updates to WB5 that got fixed. Just yesterday I installed IE7 RC1 to start doing some testing and the problem resurfaced. So, Neil, take a look into this... it's definatly a problem.

Reply to Microsoft PatchGuard: Security Feature or Risk? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

The only companies that are bitching about this security lockout are those such as Symantec. They are complaining because if such a security setup is implemented their apps will pretty much become useless. For that matter, if anyone things I'd trust Symantec to protect me against things like viruses and such they are sorely mistaken. Load up any Symantec product on your PC or laptop and that system will start to crawl like an old Cyrix DX2-80 Proc i

Reply to Full Window Transparency with video playback in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

This issue mostly deals with the Slingbox player app. I believe that it works via overlay... which of course explains it, but I wanted to make sure you didn't by any chance had a way to rewrite arround this limitation.

No one else has tried to do this to see that it doesn't work...?

Full Window Transparency with video playback in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Something I wanted to point out and see if it's possible to fix or redesign to make it work. If you're using a skin that can do full transparency on the active window and let's say the current window is a full screen of IE on a webpage, you cannot play a video in the background and watch it through the transparency. Obviously it would be very beneficial if you wanted to do this that it would work, but I can understand if it's a limitation of the GUI redrawing design. I just want to make sure

Reply to Arrows in the IE Favorite's Menu Not on the Folders in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I had this same problem. I think it got fixed when 5.01 came out. I'm using the latest version of WB and I no longer have this issue. I can't remember exactly what fixed it though... one day it was just gone, I was happy, and I forgot I even had the issue. I know what you mean though... I was pissed at it when I had it also. Download SDC and make sure you're using the latest version of WB.
