Windowblinds 6 is great, the only problem I'm having is with the start menu not changing transparency. the slider works but nothing happens.The title bar and taskbar change just the start menu doesn't.

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.


I just did this and I now have a fully functioning set of progress anims!   Thanks v much Cavan.

Can't seem to get the Sidebar to change to the new style that came with WB6. I tried applying it many times, unloading and reloading WB, even a reboot.

when you try and edit the background colour on the diamond skin, you get a message saying the skin has critical errors and must be validated before saving, when you go to validate it, there is a huge list of errors, each update i have downloaded for wb6 does nothing to alleviate this problem and because the skin cannot be validated i have to keep changing the background every time the computer reboots

With the latest update the Leo skin uses MS Sans Serif. What was wrong with Tahoma? Now it just looks like crap.
Nimbin: The problem is SkinStudio 5.5 doesn't support parts of the skin that are new, and sees the titlebar as missing.

Don't validate it. Just click no and save. Your changes will remain.

Reboot problem!

Running Vista 32

I have the correct Stardock version.

Uninstalled WB5 - rebooted, installed WB6 and was prompted to Reboot again, which I did and got same answer.
Well, I then uninstalled WB6, rebooted and installed it again. Rebooted and got same answer.
I do not have any security programs enabled.
I added it to Windows firewall, so it would allow it.
I ran it with admin rights.

What do I do wrong?

Do I need to register(activate?) WB6 when I have Object Desktop registered? If so, how?
Does it make any difference, if I install it in a different folder than WB5?

misslilo,

A number of us are having the same problem with Vista 32 bit and Windowblinds (5.51 and 5.90), so you're not alone. No word on this from Stardock, but let's hope they are investigating now that the number of users reporting the problem is increasing daily.

Bug: On the colors screen of WBConfig, the scrollbar on the preview stretches out of the window in the preview.

Okay, I tried the update, I do have the correct build of SD Central. After notification that WB5 uninstall and reboot, SD Central gives me message "member not found" and will not open. Had to do a system restore to get WB back at all. My subscription is valid and up to date. Since we are leaving in the AM for two weeks vacation, I will pass on trying to solve this tonight. Any feedback would be great.

PurrBall's instructions fixed this for me! I posted a BIG thank you in this thread, but I thought I'd let people know to try this here and in other threads with this problem.

Ok update on my problems.

1: I uninstalled WB6 again, rebooted.
2: Installed WB5, rebooted and then uninstalled it, rebooted.
3: Then I ran a registry clean(TweakNow Registry Cleaner), which found some leftover files from wb5, which I deleted.(wonder why not everything is deleted..?)
4: Ran defrag, then rebooted again.
5: Installed WB6 once again (this time in the old folder of wb5) and voila - it worked.

Sorry purrball - I didn't use your link, since I didn't see it until after I got it to work.
But thanks for it anyway.. glad it works for other

NB! I might have to add, that I did all installing and Uninstalling from within Stardock Central.

Now that I'm in the right forum, here's where I stand now. I can install WB6 fine. I'm running it right now, having just installed it (for the umpteenth time) and it's gorgeous, thanks. But when I reboot, it will no longer be able to apply skins. I can just reinstall it every time I boot up, but that seems a little silly, eh?

There's something happening in the reboot process that's keeping skins from applying, and I'm baffled. NB, you said my bin file was invalid. Please explain this to me further, as it's just confusing me. How could this be? I'm a paid-up OD user, I properly installed, it tells me it's activated. So what gives?

Here's my info (pre-reboot):

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6 (6.0 (beta build 19 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.

P.S. Sorry I clogged up the other thread with all this stuff. I didn't realize this one even existed. I'm old.

Hi,

using the new Diamond skin with per-pixel borders, I see a black background of the titlebar when maximizing any window. Without allowing per-pixel borders, the background color stays correct (light blue) when maximizing. Is this behaviour intentional or is it a beta problem? (Same problem on two computers, running Windows XP Home both.)

Here's my info after reboot, with WB6 not working. Looks the same to me. Am I missing something?

Now I had installed WB6 590(.026 (first tried with .23) and When I RIGHT CLIKC on the desktop Explorer.exe crashes. When I RIGHT CLICK in IE6 it automatically closes. When I unload WB6 and RIGHT CLICK on desktop and IE6 all is fine. I have uninstalled WB6 and reinstalled WB5. Everything works again. Please help.
Thank you.

Here's my experiences so far...

I did the first install of WB 6 with no problem except that after it uninstalled WB5, it went into installing WB 6 without rebooting - I had to stop the install and reboot, then install WB6.

Everything worked great! I downloaded a few skins that I had before that were lost in the change, but I didn't try any of them out except for Vista Bug, which I happen to really like right now. Everything is fine up to this point.

I installed the update to WB6 (yesterday?), I thought everything was okay till today when I tried to change a skin and noticed all kinds of stuff wouldn't change...

In Theme Manager; Suites and Visual Styles would change everything except for the Task Bar and Start Menu (they stayed Vista Bug). Icon Packager wouldn't change after the first try. In WindowBlinds, the Task Bar and Start Menu wouldn't change. I reverted back to default Windows Classic on everything. Task Bar and Start Menu were almost Classic, but not quite.

Reboot. Task Bar and Start Menu are now Windows Classic. Visual styles still won't change, Icons and Cursors will change, Boot Skins won't change.

Uninstall WB6. Reboot. Wouldn't startup properly, can't shutdown properly. Turn on, cancel disk check. Starts up okay.

Reinstall WB6 from StartDock Central. It installs, but doesn't reboot as prompted, it just opens WB. Tried to reboot but had to do a manual shutdown. Turn on, skipped disk check, starts up okay. Checked WB6 and Theme Manager, everthing now seems to change as it should. I'm going to try and download some more skins and see if it continues to work as it should.

Hopefully, future updates go smoother, cause I think the program is great!

My system info is (XP Home Edition)...

Mine was doing the same thing till I turned off WindowsFX. Now it's fine. Seems they just got it (WindowsFX) fixed for five, now they got to fix it for 6. It never ends.

The maximized titlebar background being black is intentional.
