Hey Mike- Tried your batch file, I'm on XPHomeSP3 here. Sorry but it didn't do the trick. When it was adding the registry entry it prompted me that the entry already existed, I let it overwrite. When it downloaded the dll, I went to the common file directory where the batch prompt indicated, the file was already there, I let it overwrite. Rebooted, still getting the ODZip.dll error. I get the error when I try to load DTX in client mode (and client mo

[quote]Is everyone having this problem using Standard or Pro?[/quote] Getting ODzip.dll error on XPHomeSP3, DTX Standard I'll put this out in case it's helpful, sorry but it's gonna get wordy: My DTX desktop is basic, mainly a bunch of launcher objects with timer scripts, there are not meters or clocks or such embedded in it. It loaded fine. Got the error from a (my hacky little) widget I had loading at startup. Widget used plug

Do you have the dock's background transparency set all the way to opaque? Might help. Dock Settings/Appearance on the left side, On the right side Background section Transparent-Opaque slider about 3/4's the way down, slide the setting all the way to the right on "Opaque".

Anybody tried clearing the cache's to shake the ODzip.dll error? I didn't think of that till now, I've already gone back to the prior version, not in the mood to start all over at the moment. p.s. meh, nevermind. Had to go back and try it, got me nowhere. On the plus side the Impulse Restore Archive function is coming through like a champ.

Sounds like the application doesn't follow the typical conventions used for skinning - some apps are just stubborn. You might try excluding it within Windowblinds, or telling Windowblinds to just skin the application's title bar. I don't have access to WB6's config window anymore, but the setting is somewhere like "Settings/Per Application - Add Application". There's a window that comes up, "Exclude this application" is a checkbox option at the top, towards the bottom of the

I think I owe you an apology - I think I misread your initial post. When you said you were a subscriber, I interpreted that to mean you are an Object Desktop subscriber. Looking at your screenshot and back at your post, I think what you were saying is that you have just the Windowblinds, not the Object Desktop. Is that correct? The difference is that the beta versions are only available to Object Desktop subscribers and the Windowblinds 7 is still a beta, so you'd ne

Thanks for the offer vStyler. I'll wait for SD/WC to get it fixed up, might be something that'll mess somebody else up too, or maybe me later for that matter. I'll keep from peeing myself in a circle, though it might be tough [e digicons]|-)[/e] . And where's my manners, thanks RedneckDude.

You need to open Impulse, click on the menu icon in the top left corner, check "Show PreRelease Versions". You should then see Windowblinds 7 - that's what you're after.

[quote]I managed to roll back to the previous version of WB7 by moving an executable and some DLLs from a backup folder to the present folder[/quote] Doesn't seem like mixing versions would be a great idea. You might be better off uninstalling the current version and re-installing a prior version if you've got an archive. Just a thought.

If you're talking about windowblinds, open up the zip file with WinZip or ObjectZip or whatever compressor you use. In the zip file will be a file xxxxxx.wba Extract the .wba file to a directory, double-click on it, Windowblinds will install it and pop up a message from the systray - takes say 10-20 seconds maybe. I don't have Windowblinds config open when I do this, don't know if it matters or not. If there are any other files in the zip file you want, like wal

[quote]I don't even open the start menu anymore...[/quote] You know I didn't either for a long time, then I discovered the Start Menues are really pretty cool these days. I think the Halloween 2008 suite was the one that got me started back on them. I ended up actually pinning a few more things there just so I could look at them more often.[e digicons]|-)[/e]
