Double sidebar?


There is an option in the Sidebar Edit that says double sidebar. When I try to apply that nothing happens. I noticed this last Beta update must have made some changes as the picture changed but it still won't change it for me.


I guess what it is called is two side not double side.

A pretty weird install...it asks if you want to uninstall WB 5, and when you click yes it does but it asks you to reboot, but continues with the install of WB 6. If you don't reboot after you uninstalled WB 5, you will have problems.


Had the exact same thing happen to me, but after the initial hiccups, it seems to work great now   

I'm loving all the new customize options.
And I gotta say that the start menu on Molten is absolutely amazing, it took me somewhat by surprise, and I freaked the cat out lol

I have installed WB6 on a machine which has never had WB on it before to get a nice clean install. Had no problems with the installation or with the update...

The only issue I have is with the Diamond toolbar which does not display properly on my machine in Windows Explorer



The back, forward and stop button are not seperated properly. The toolbars for both Leo and Molten are both fine though...

Sorry, forgot to mention - this is running on Win XP

I've tried a second time and the install webt great. When I RIGHT CLIKC on the desktop Explorer.exe crashes. When I RIGHT CLICK in IE6 it automatically closes. When I unload WB^ and RIGHT CLICK on desktop and IE6 all is fine. Anyone else with this problem?

I love the new WB6. Just wish I could use it. Finally had to go back to WB5. I guess I'll have to wait for the full release.

Did you have the .23 build installed?  That has a change to some menu related code which might have been conflicting with an IE and explorer addin on your pc.

This is really good.Uninstall of WB5 no problem,install of WB6 no problem,all features working great.I didn't think the blur and transparency was going to work on my GForce6200 and XP combo but it does and it looks absolutely amazing.
One tiny thing though,I can't get the progress anims for the Diamond skin to load up and they don't show in the WB preview window.They are in the skin folder for Diamond,I can see them,but no matter what I do I just get the plain none skinned xp anims.Any ideas? do I need to re-name them or something?
Excellent update though and great new skins.

Another thing danilloOC needs to update, they are in skin folder but are not showing as being associated with skin when open in SkinStudio. I just added them to skin in SKS and they work fine now.

Karmat, the odds are overwhelming you're using a 32-bit OS. Right click on your My Computer/Computer icon and select Properties. On Vista, it'll explicitly mention "System Type: 32-bit Operating system" (or 64). I think XP will also indicate it in a similar fashion, but I'm not rebooting tonight to check.


You really really have to work to get a 64-bit version of Windows installed still (doesn't tend to come preloaded), so you probably are on 32-bit.


Kris



I for one will patiently wait for the 64 bit version  

And as far as it being really really hard to get it installed - it was as easy as 32 bit to do it on my rig AND all my software from my 32 bit side works!!!!!

Open skin in SkinStudio, from explorer tree, Shell Animations-Animation Files, then on right, Section tab you will see the file sections, click on first one then from drop menu below preview select the proper file. Once you have set all save and apply.

Animations can be added in Skinstudio for Diamond. With my inexperience I found easily how to do that. But I could not find some animations, namely file copy, file move. Or I am wrong? May be this is the reason why default MS animations were left for Diamond...
