Iv been looking and iv yet to find a solution that was posted that has helped. WB5.01 refuses to load skins. It changes the skin to the classic windows but doesnt apply the actual skin to windows XP HE. Iv tried some of the things here, all other version of WB worked ok for me and I was hopeing to buy this version soon, if only I could get the trial to work.
I have a ATI Radeon 7000 Series card, and here's what it says with the sys info on WB.
WindowBlinds 5.0 System Information Report:
STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+ TRAY+
WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.
Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.
This is because :
Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha. WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor. Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware. Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature. Onboard graphics tend not to.
You have one monitor in total.
(Plug and Play Monitor) 1 is attached to RADEON 7000 SERIES

The only other graphic oriented program I have running is IconPackager trial. Im wanting to test this stuff out before I decide whether or not I want to buy it.
