Reply to Detect Windowsblinds in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I think he's asking in regards to programming. The WB registry information is located: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\WindowBlinds Might be more. At least for startup reasons. As to detect wether it's running or not: For WB5 you could query the WB service to see if it's running. For the older version you'd have to check if the WB exe is running. (Think it's "wb_load.exe", but not quite sur

Not really. The mini version features larger OLED's while the 103 Optimus will no longer have OLED, instead some other black and white display. And the screens are smaller.

Lantec "I was thinking maybe $200-300 when i first saw this a few years ago.." Me too, I'd jumped at it for a price like that Same here. That's what the estimates has been after they said it'd be the price of a good phone. Now, in the article it said that the first 103 would be $1200. The next batch

hm.... I see a few people in the comments who think the price is a joke. I hope they are right. In an eariler post they said the price would be announced on the 12.12.2006. In the same post where he say the price is $1200 he also talks about sarcastic comments. Wonder if it was a poor attempt of sarcasm.

Awh! Crap! I was looking forward to that keyboard. I was even prepared to shell out quite a bit for it. But $1200... No way hosé! They said it'd be the price of a good mobile phone. ...well.... I'd say you can get a good mobile phone for half that price. If I payed that for a mobile I'd expect the top of the range bleeding edge. As far as paying that for a keyboard... Naha! Let's hope technology will be puched further and that we'll see this in a true

Neil: The problem is that I cannot find that setting in WB5.5. I used to set that setting in previous version. I have yet to find a solution to the titlebarbutton problem I found. I thought it was a WB bug and not a skin bug since the buttons works fine except when the windows are maximised.

Reply to WINDOWBLINDS BETA FOR VISTA ARRIVES! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I have noticed a bug which happends with any skin I have tried. When a window is maximised, the clickable areas for the minimize, maximize, and close button is not the same as when the window is not maximised. I noticed that if I tried to push the Restore or Minimize button the window was closed. If I clicked somewhat to the left of all the buttons (on the titlebar) the window would Restore, and if I clicked even further out it would minimize.</fo
