Reply to WB 10.x doesn't work on Win 7 64? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

My experience with WB 10 on Windows 7; I used WB 10 on Windows 7 for a couple of weeks. My main problem was that Pale Moon browser froze. This doesn't happen with WB 7 so I had to downgrade. Other than that there was a little bug with window button tooltips not showing. So I'd say that WB 10 works on Windows 7, just didn't like Pale Moon. Usually it takes a reboot for the WB icon to show up. Clearly WB 10 is where the development happen so I'll switch t

[quote who="codewar65" reply="14" id="3681195"] My biggest fear is that if I show these big guys some of the stuff it can do, they just go ahead and write their own, leaving me with nothing for all the work I've done. A copyright would not cover this sort of thing. I would probably need to patent the process... and that costs a ton.

I don't know anything about this subject. It's always interesting when people are passionate about things. Especially odd things that not many people know about. Is there a practical/commercial value to this program? Or is it mostly in the realm of art? I mean art can also be very commercial, but it's nice to find a practical niche for a product. Like WB is mostly about art, but not only, there are practical benefits of being able to change font size, colors etc. Anyway, good

[quote who="starkers" reply="26" id="3678761"] I've added another 3 since then, and another 2.5" SSD, giving me 2 x 250 gigs for additional OSes. Given the lousy direction Windows is heading, I'm thinking I may dual/triple boot with Linux Ubuntu and/or Mint to get a better user experience before Win 10 pisses me off entirely and I throw it under the bus. There again, I do have a pretty decent third machine with 3x 120 gig SSDs in RAID for Linux distros, meaning I can boot the Intel machi

I also struggle with pain sometimes. I've been feeling a little low lately. As a matter of fact I also need to rearrange my computer setup. Mostly I tinker with software though. Sometimes it's amazing how much effort you can put into something and yet the results are small in the overall scheme of things. I've tweaked fonts in Linux to get them more like Windows, because I intend to switch my dad to Linux, when Windows 7 bites the dust. If there was a way control updates in Windows 10 this wo

OK, this is nothing new. I'm actually not a fan of dark skins/themes in general. However, I started playing with "night mode" for the browser. It looks pretty cool I think.

If there is a biological problem, the solution must be biological too. One of the richest men in the world recently passed away at the respectable age of 101. He had had seven heart transplants, the first one in 1976. He was evil so probably why his hearts kept failing. He could afford real biological hearts, no problem there. He said he felt "rejuvenated" after getting a new heart. I know some people are living with pacemakers, so tech can be used for good causes. Problem is that tec

I have also stumbled upon this problem. I don't know if skinners forget to skin the menu bar in Firefox (it's hidden by default) or if WindowBlinds doesn't skin this area correctly. I'm using Pale Moon now and it seems to skin fine with WB 10 on Windows 10. On Windows 7 I can't say because I use only WB textures with standard Windows Aero theme. PS You should state which version of Windows and WB you are using.

What Microsoft is saying is like the classic game quote: “ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US”. I don't hate Microsoft. I'm just trying to be funny, because the above quote would be a much simplified version of the privacy policy. If “they” really want to get you they can get you on Windows 7, Linux or MacOS too. The problem is “mass surveillance as the new norm”. This is way more data than necessary for targeted ads or Windows diagnostic functio
