Where are you trying to change the background from? I had that same problem trying to change the background from the control panel. As soon as I changed it within WB itself (2nd to last link under "tasks" on the left-hand side), though, all problems stopped.

I don't know if this is a bug, or if Molten, by design or default, sets the background to plain brown when applied...

My personal favorite skin XP Format by RJ Smith has font issues with the beta (textsize to big). With 5.5 everything was okay.

Deleted .wb4 files but no change. Text is still too big.

All WB skins have a background color set in them, when setting background color thru Windows display properties it will always revert to the color that is set in the skin you are using at start-up or after a reboot.

To save having to edit all skins you have, the best solution is to open MS Paint and make an image that is the color you want for you background, save as a jpg, set that as your wall and make sure, in Override default setting of WB config, that Apply the wallpaper include with skin is not checked.

I'm using WindowBlinds 6 (6.0 (beta build 36 x86 - Vista Edition)).

Note that I was too hasty in proclaiming Photoshop CS3 crash free. It crashes too.

I think I have figured a way to make this repeat predictably.

Using filezilla select with RMB an item as if you are going to add it to the queue. Then, don't select an option, move your mouse off of the RMB window that popped up. If it doesn't crash the program then and there, it will the next time you try the same thing.

This is also repeatable in Photoshop CS3 if you hit the RMB over an image you have loaded to edit.

This is happening on an Nvidia Quadro 4000 and it has happened with 163.11 and 162.50 whql drivers. Diamond skin, vista 32.

@phendric ... I am trying to use one of the default walls, widescreen aura or whatever its called. I have tried setting it withing WB with no luck, it defaults to the brown again on reboot.

@erk. I understand that I can just go back in and change it as you say erk. but it is a pain to do so every reboot For now I am using another skin as Molten is too much hassle

BeLGaRaTh67, did you read my reply, #280, are you running a wide screen wall on standard monitor to have it centered, seeing background color above and below it. Molten is no more hassle than any other skin that has background color set different than what you want it to be. Open Molten in SKS and edit the background color to what you want and the issue goes away.

Curious if anyone else is seeing this.....
Since the last update all I get in the way of shellstyles if the basic blue not matter whether I have the override setting checked or not. I even changed it to "always use the shellstyle defined in...." and it won't take. It's happening on both my home system and my work system.

Edit:
After some testing.....if I load the Diamond skin it stills show basic blue, but once I reboot I get the Diamond Skin shellstyles. If I change skins I STILL get the Diamond Skin shellstyles so now I'll try a reboot to see if they change to the Mirage Shellstyles........

Edit2: All seems to have "fixed itself" after another reboot, it must be a result of installing PaintshopProXI since I did that to both computers today.

With the WB6 beta build 027 it is impossible to use new master skin by JJ. Ying Xaphire. After some time using it, all windows GUI crashes.

Found a conflict........
Microsoft Money 2005 will not open while Windowblinds 6 is loaded. You see a quick flash of a very corrupt window then it disappears and is not listed in Task manager. Unload Windowblinds and it opens just fine.

That's not a bug but a missing feature relative to wallpapers part:

Should it be possible to add the mane of walls showing in a tooltip when pointing each of those which are in gallerys ?

The exact same thing was happening to me Moletai, an uninstall and reinstall of WB6 seems to have fixed the problem for me. I've been using Xaphire since sometime yesterday and the problem hasn't re-occurred.

Hello everyone - maybe it's just me ... but seems I can't get the mouse over/focus color or the Hover color(wb3.x) in the programs or places list to work. Now this is strange... it will work in Vista ? But not with XP. Vista I found that you use a shade off with either places or programs and you get your hover and mouse over. Using exact colors for both and thats all you get... that one color. So tried it with XP and no results.
I think it is in WB not SKS where the problem is and gona do a roll back on my WB and see what happens.
