spot1701: No other app can make the task bar support per pixel alpha. Only a constant alpha setting or colour keyed transparency.
Neil Banfield
The arrow titlebars are clear so if you put them over a white background they will appear to be white.
That is not a bug.
This is a known bug. The next build will resolve the problem. Its caused by an error in how WB is painting the inactive state of menubars which means it just paints things randomly.
Also make sure you have the very latest build of SDC installed.
It sounds like an overlay bug. As in the hardware is saying I can do overlays, but then not providing it correctly. In which case its a driver bug. My guess is you have an ATI card?
KearneyiteNIBC: Please contact [email protected] so he can assist you with the activation issue.
laurentfr: The skin (assuming you are talking about the arrow skin) defined the maximized state to use a black bitmap rather than a semi transparent look.
lauramoore: What kind of problems did you have with movie maker?
Drakkner: Only enable the option for corrupt titlebars if you have that problem! Regarding the unskinned apps, are you sure you didn't have ctrl pressed when they loaded?
You will need to tick the 2nd box on the troubleshooting page in wbconfig. The one about textbackground & button corruption.
Then you will need to contact ATI and request they add support.
You did not have to install the beta release. If you do not want to use betas please do not install them. Your problem sounds like there was a problem with the install.
If Wbconfig crashes then you are missing files and you will need to reinstall WB.
Information on the crash message would help.
9200 card should be able to run it. Install WindowFX (just briefly) and see if it offers to enable HW acceleration when you first run it.
Press the refresh button in wbconfig & see if they show up. Also try the tree view button in case you have picked a category.
ATI 7500 cards do not have the ability to use WBs per pixel frames. Sorry.
Have you tried the checkbox on the troubleshooting page for 9000 users?
Sorry, whats not working? Everything or just toolbars or ?
We have updated the build of WB on OD. Please read the readme before installing and please use this thread for bug reports Some of the changes : Explorer hanging on skin change with some skins should now be fixed. Which means changing skins should be a lot faster. Right click overrides for per pixel skins work for rollup. Rundll32 issue should be fixed. Winzip extraction dialog issue should be fixed. Min & max animation effects now respect the W
Regarding WindowFX + WB5, as I have said many times today, there will be a beta of WFX 2.5 this month that is compatible with WB 5 because WFX 2.11/2.19 is not compatible with it. There will a new build tonight which I hope will help with many of the reported issues. Until then if you have problems with it not skinning then please wait for the new build.
Delete skin from wbconfig. Its in the preview window itself.
We are working on the rundll32 issue. Thats what beta tests are for, to find the issues that we don't have.
Please do not ask for pirated copies of our software. This is your final warning.
