Reply to WindowBlinds and Windows 10 Insider 15025 - READ BEFORE INSTALLING THE FAST BUILD in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

wb 10.62 (latest as of today) and W10 insider build 16199 ( I had to upgrade because of W10 problem with earlier build). WB works more or less as it should but for example task bar is (partly, mostly) transparent. This happens on all skins. It looks like the right part of the bar is skinned (or maybe it's some new W10 internal styling?) Anyway the problem does not prevent WB usage, just makes it not as visually pleasing as it could.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="32" id="3670112"] What skin are you using? A missing titlebar would typically mean the skin author made an error in setting the system wide titlebar height. If this is significantly different from the reality it can cause problems. [/quote] WT Etneo, but yes a "built in" skin works as it should. I happened to test only one other skin that didn't work then. Hopefully getting things back to normal then...</p

WB 10 beta or window fx causing black screen after insider preview install in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Sorry if this has been mentioned in WB beta thread. Symptom is what title says. After first start (and restarts if desktop isn't made visible) only mouse cursor is visible. ctrl-shift -esc shows task manager from which I can close WB tasks and run new explorer task after which the desktop appears. Restart after that and everything works again. If I just run explorer from the task manager without killing wb first nothing happens. Next restart I get black scre

Reply to Testing the beta in Fences WinCustomize Forums

I must be really bad beta tester as I can't find almost anything wrong with it... I mainly use the doubleclick desktop feature to keep my icons hidden, so I also would like to have a way to display files dragged to desktop show up somewhere while rest of the icons are hidden. so: while icons are hidden, files copied to desktop or dropped to desktop could appear on a maybe previously defined fence?

Tab launchpad is (wrongly) skinnend whatever I do in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

I have had an annoying problem with WB skinning tab launchpad so that the text on the tabs is not showing up. (either the text is the same color as the tab or the text just isn't there, hard to say) If I exclude tablaunchpad, or make it use a specific skin there is no difference (the look of the tabs changes though, but no text) So it seems WB does not care about that setting at all (at least with tab launchpad) I know it's possible to have the tabs show the text and exclude it

WB wants to skin Tablaunchpad even if I don't want it to in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I have excluded tablaunchpad from skinning but it still does it. i have tried: exlude and use specific skin: disabled the freaking tab launchpad still has it's tabs skinned and without text. And as tab launchpad actually enhances my productivity I would rather have the texts visible on the tabs. Also this seems to be skin dependable? Earlier skin I used didn't skin the tabs, but with the latest beta my previous skin stopped working (update problem, had to try update half

Reply to But...humans cause global warming! in Pure Technology JoeUser Forums

The trend is up in any case, and even if it's only 2 degree variation, it only needs 1-2 degrees to make a difference. 1 degree change is 100 meters in swiss alps so if temperature is 1 degree higher it means glaciers are shrunk by 100 meters. Also I would like to make you check your facts about temperature readings being a joke anywhere except the countries you mentioned. I know for a fact that in Finland they have measured them since 19th c
