I thought i was saved with the released version of WB6 while i still had the StartPanel and Taskbar skinned after 5 reboots ... but no, trouble came back later, though i (again, and again uninstalled WB6, reboot, cleaned up everything and then (try) to reinstall WB6 release ... I said try, becauze at the end of installation i get (again) that silly message:

---------------------------
Stardock Central
---------------------------
There was an error activating WindowBlinds 6. Error: 6

Excessive activations (#) - Multiple activation requests for this product have arrived and been processed. This has triggered the threshold for potential errors. If you are having problems activating or need to reset the activation count, please email this log file to support@stardock.com from the email address you ordered under.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------


Though, i've send a mail to support@stardock.com, but i'd like that someone could reactivate this famous number rights as quick as possible to continue what i'm testing ...

And again, i don't know how much is that number of activations, but Stardock might think that SDC subscribers are there for testing, installing and uninstalling a lot of times (especially when there are troubles) and this number might be either removed for SDC subscribers or either at least much high ...

It's getting you back for all the complaining you do to the skinners.     


Uninstall old version first and reboot, should be there.

Does WindowBlinds 6 change the default behavior on Vista for maximizing windows? That is: is the option available to keep the taskbar and even the maximized window transparent? The default Vista behavior is that the taskbar and maxmized window become opaque -- I would prefer that the transparency remain or at least be configurable as to the level of transparency/opaqness.

Thanks to whoever answers my question this time

No need, I got it. Must have just taken a while for the order to process and the info to update in SDC. Weird. Oh well, I'm off to find me one of those new snazzy "Vista Only Skins" that DON'T TRUNCATE MY START MENU ITEMS!!!

VapidProse, best thoughts on your "not a valid win32 app" report: your download was corrupted, you've leftover temp files from something else, or you've got something that's mangling the installer when it tries to run.

Holy freaking god!!! I don't get it. Aero can skin it, but WB6 can't. I want my $15 back! Seriously Neil, why is this so difficult man?

BTW, your brand spanking new Adamant skin has a menu text cutoff problem when you expand All Programs. (after a certain amount of characters of start items, either folders or icons, gets cut off).

Couldn't download. Stardock Central kept telling me this:

Error: Attempt: 1 | The beta of the application you are attempting to download is not available.
Error: Attempt: 2 | The beta of the application you are attempting to download is not available.
Error: Attempt: 3 | The beta of the application you are attempting to download is not available.

Updated Stardock Central, it kept telling me then:

Error: Attempt: 1 | You must upgrade Stardock Central, in order to install WindowBlinds 6. Version required: 2.47.48, build 159

Build 156 is installed, but Stardock Central didn't offer me the update, which it usually does

Had to install the Download from Stardock.com in order to get it working. That really isn't a smart and good working update and reminds me of the mess M$ keeps bringing up. I expected better from Stardock

koolet22: The skins are now located in a new location.

It is probably C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds on your pc.

Regarding your theme apply issue, how are you applying those themes?  Via Wbconfig or via ThemeManager?

Adamant skin : what needs to be fixed is the user picture it gets cut of when u open the taskbar but u can still see a tiny rest of the picture but anyway great skin

windowblinds 6 well the publik wont load wallpaper changes directly unless i make them from windowblinds , and there is no option for startmenü blur for me T_T it may be just me but its not showing up only transperency or is that a windowblind 6 nonpublic feature

If you are running XP you have to change the setting in Windowblinds to use the skin settings for user icon. The XP version is set not to use the icon. The design doesn't call for a user icon.


in other news..

When I download a new skin, The normal bubble that pops up giving you the option to apply the skin doesn't show. This problem started 2 beta versions ago. The icon shows briefly in the tray but no bubble. Obviously not a big deal.

FYI...After a second reboot my WB tray icon came back.
