Thanks Island Dog - I figured that the team was developing for Win8 ... I just don't see an official posting spot for updates and such.

Is there official word on the development? [e digicons]:\[/e]
I use Skinstudio Classic and as far as msstyles I'm trying to convert Vista versions. Before switching to Vista I rarely had problems. Perhaps SS is not capable of converting in Vista 64?
I'm using Vista 64. Normally conversion is very straight forward but of late I get the above error. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm not 100% certain but I think the WB is: caruso suite by ~Leuchtstoff I don't know if it is uncool to post a link here so I apologize upfront if it is not :-o Otherwise... http://leuchtstoff.deviantart.com/art/caruso-suite-82717196 Maybe Ooberman will check in with the wall. Peace.
I suffered from the disappearing cursor problem recently to the point where I was going to dump Cursor XP (bought several years ago) -- it was looking like a sad day. Then, out of the blue, I was retracing my recent ATI driver update and thought perhaps there was something added in the update that caused the disappearing cursor problem (everything was great with Cursor XP until about a month ago - not sure what Stardock changed with Windowblinds) but back to the ATI update. I noted
I too have the "disappearing" cursor dilemma. It seems to have begun within the last 2 weeks. Perhaps there is something in WB 6 code that is not working well CursorXP? Has anyone found a fix? Frustrated in RoseCity.
Ok, here is my sys info. WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5.1 (build 82 x86) WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

Ok, so I just upgraded and DL'd new 6.0 I fire it up, new GUI for WB shows nicely, skins appear in preview screen, I go to "apply" and nothing happens Argh; please advise!
What do you really get for $20? At least porn sites give you streaming video and high res pics. WinCustomize does have the high res pics but not streaming video! ...add video Seriously, why $20 and not $10? Try that new retail software in the news last week to determine the right price. Maybe you are asking too much?
Laoran, Not all owners of ATI cards are having problems; my system runs great (Radeon 9700 128mb) My only issues revolve around msstyles not showing up on the WB selector. My workaround is to apply via Skinstudio. I'm sure the Stardock team will fix this eventually. If interested, I'll trade my 9700 for your ATI X850XT Platium Edition </font
Ugh. I just encountered an error It appears that my WB 4.9a cannot find msstyles skins (I have a bunch) I can open them in Skinstudio but when I go to apply them it reads,"you must start WB to use this theme ..." Ironically, I already have WB running The good news is that my msstyles skins a
So far - so good! This is considerably faster than previous versions. Way-2-go!! Q: I noticed that Skinstudio is not an option from the WB menu. Is that a permanent change? ... did I overlook it? Oh baby, I can't wait to see what the skinners are going come up next <img src="http://images.stardock.com/sd_com/smiles/Ew.gif" b
...just a thought on the subscription price.. you might consider the "fast nickle, slow dime" approach... $20 to renew might be a bit steep for those who flock here to download Windowblinds skins and other Stardock products only. I would suggest an annual $5 subscription for everyone except those who contribute XX amount of new skins, themes etc. Maybe you could issue credits for quality uploads. Lastly, for those who buy Obj
Ok, sweetness ... the newest version of WB fixed StefanKa's button alignment. I now have the scrollbar button (ends) and progress animation problems to tackle. Any idea if the WB team knows about the animation and scrollbar issues?
The latest WB beta fixed Stefanka's min/max/close button issue. Unfortunately, there are still bugs with his scrollbar buttons and progress animation. This seems to be stubborn problem. Any idea if the WB team knows about this; or if there is a fix?
Christer, Try removing all version of Lucida Grande from your system (fonts folder) ... double check to see that all are removed by closing down and reopening. Then download Steve's file again and copy his version of Lucida Grande into your fonts folder. See if that works. His version is slightly different than some floating around. Hope this helps.
Hey DarkPhoeniX, That is good news! Did you have any problems with the progress animation bar?
Has anyone successfully imported this skin? I've got two issues (sometimes common with msstyles converts) 1. Min/Max/Close buttons are out of alignment 2. Progress animation (like in send/receive using Outlook) are not working correctly. I can fix the animation via trial and error but I haven't a clue how to fix the button issue. Any ideas <img src="s
Like it - vista gives the software a feel for the future ... it flows with "windows" ... Longhorn sounded Texan like (no offense).. too much like cattle
I've encountered several skins lately that exhibit the same problem. They all have weird effects going on during a progress bar animation (like Outlook send/recieve) It's as though the bar is not aligned with the skin? Some skins are fine while others are just awful or plain just black lines. Please note this is not the same animation one sees during a file copy or delete; those animations work fine. Anyone have ideas? I read one other
...is outta whack on several skins. Actually I've noticed the progress animation messed up on several programs using various skins. I've got the newest version of WB 4.59. Is this something related to the skins, my video card or some other "artifact" leftover? It appears to be somewhat isolated to msstyles conversions. Thanks for any help. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="absmidd
Dimage, I imported the shell style through Skinstudio via "tools -> windowblinds -> import shellstyle" Stefanka labeled his folders nicely so there's no confusion as to which shell goes to which subskin. I'd love a copy of your work. Is your link above good for your "fixed" scrollbars?
Oh baby, someone please convert this to Windowblinds I tried loading it into Skinstudio and most everything works but alas I'm no skinner so I don't know how to fix the following issues: 1. Min / Max / Close buttons have weird artifact on end of titlebar; it looks like the buttons are misaligned 2. Stefanka used Styler toolbar for the great l
Thanks, I forgot about that feature. I wonder if anyone else is having problems upgrading to newest beta?
