Candice Barbe: When it starts to become slow, please open taskmanager, go to the processes tab. Then on the view menu pick Select Columns, tick USER Objects, GDI Objects & Handle Count. Then press ok. Now does any one app running have a high number of any of those?

Izzee: As the messages tell you in the UI, we do not allow per pixel on non included skins in the shareware version. The idea is people should buy it if they like it and being able to use other per pixel skins is an incentive!

WB 4.6 did not timeout after 30 days, though menu skinning was disabled after 30 days. WB 5.0 has a hard timeout after 60 days.

You will need to uninstall WB5 before reinstalling WB 4.6. Please consider buying WindowBlinds if you like it. The shareware version of WB 4.6 for example is limited to 30 days usage according to the EULA.

Reply to per application no longer stable in W5 in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Opening a per app skinned app should not crash any other apps. Does dreamweaver have a per app skin too? We are aware of an issue where if you have 2 apps running with different per app skins (if they use the same skin then it does not happen), and then close one of them, the other one gets corrupted graphics. This has been resolved internally & the next WB build will resolve this.

This is now resolved. Additionally I have set it so clipmates menus are ignored by WB as clipmate is self skinned & its menus look wrong with WB skinning them as well. There will be a 5.01 update either later today, or most likely early next week.

Reply to hefty cpu usage on 5?? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Can you try the following 1) Unload WB 2) Go to display properties & set the skin to classic 3) Go to display properties & set the skin to Windows XP style 4) Go to display properties & set the skin to classic Now see if WB uses lots of cpu.

I have reproduced this (I assume you mean clipmate 7, not 8) and am looking into exactly why it happens. At first glance it appears to be due to how it does its toolbar. It is obtaining the wrong theme part for its toolbar which is confusing WB as only the taskbar itself ever asks for that part.

It sounds like Clipmate is constantly sending out messages which is telling WB that the wallpaper has changed or the taskbar size has changed. We will look into this & see if we can workaround it.

Run msconfig. Find a .cmd thats running at startup. Remove it, reboot. If WB is currently installed then your first login will take a few mins (As its stalled wait for the activation screen). Then enter your information in the activation screen & it should all work fine.
