A beta in January is the current plan

IE 7 is a long way from being complete. Once IE7 is complete we will look into extending animation support to it.
We are looking into it.
glotwp55: Firstly please do not pirate WindowBlinds. The very latest version of WindowBlinds should resolve the problem with ThemeManager & applying skins from it. The problem is actually a ThemeManager issue with it thinking WB4 is installed not WB5, but we modified WB5 to workaround this problem.
WB5 uses little cpu and should work with older WB skins. So I have no idea what your problems are. Could you provide more information please.
If you have a later build installed then SDC will not show you the older build
I use MCE myself with WB just fine. The problem in #3 is WBs gamma controls have been set to the lowest possible option.
Having read that thread, I believe its not a WB issue causing missing scrollbars etc. It sounds like the machines have hit a system resource limit and thats why WB is unable to load up some bitmaps. As it seems to happen while editing a skin, I would suggest its a leak in SkinStudio.
I have not seen any reports of scrollbars disappearing at random.
If you can provide us with steps to reproduce this we can look into it further.
If theme changing takes a long time, it usually means there is an app on the PC thats hung.
Do other themes do this on your PC?
The limitation is more a case of using it like a book. If you are not USING both at the same time (And its not in use by someone else), then installing it on your home pc & laptop (or office pc) should be fine under the EULA.
SDC shows you the latest version of any app which is why you see the beta as you have show betas ticked. If you disable show betas, the non beta version of WB5 will show. Regarding WFX, this is known and there is a WindowFX update coming soon. To avoid that problem, disable window open animations in WindowFX.
Run wbconfig from the other accounts.
Please post the information from the System Information page in wbconfig.
The current plan is Q1 2006 along with MP 1.1.
Agrippa: Do you get a BSOD on WB unload, or just on skin change. If not on unload, what happens when you then reload WB?
Exstacy: It sounds like your PC ran out of system resources. That would explain the non painting & the inability to open wbconfig. It would also explain the gradual sluggishness as the more resources in use, the slower things run. Is this still happening after a reboot?
Agrippa: We are still looking in that problem, but if you do want a refund you need to contact [email protected] explaining the problem & that you would like a refund.
Mixing WB4 and WB 5 files is a VERY bad thing to do. Core parts are very different. Regarding your legal question, I believe it would be against the EULA.
No. We did have 1 report of something similar on XP 64 bit though. And thats based on 2003 server.
CyberWorld: It sounds like MAME32 has corrupted the WB bitmaps. Does reapplying the skin after help?
Regarding your Wincustomize serial, it looks fine here. A renewal doesn't change the serial number so your existing one should continue to work just fine.
[email protected] process refunds. If you contact them they will be able to lookup your details. I am curious which version of WB you had installed. WB 4.6 or the beta (at the time) of WB 5? Stardock support has been slightly more backlogged than usual due to the recent release of WindowBlinds 5 (end of November) and one of the support staff leaving.
