6.29 is the beta of 6.3

WindowBlinds 6.30 has been released!

I upgraded to 6.3 today and any program that uses MS's .NET framework 2.0 crashes when trying to open a browse window. Example: Launched XML Notepad 2007 then clicked on the open icon to open an XML file and I get this: See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:





When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
This also happens when trying to do a Save as in Handebrake. If I removed the theme in WindowBlinds and use Aero everything works fine.

6.30 has been republished tonight to hopefully correct that .net issue on 64-bit. And to prevent downloads from looping with SDC installs.

I am so pi****d

 

When will you guys the udpates right with impulse and XP

 

AGAIN (3rd timeminimum now) after updating wb6 I get an error message on startup  about wb needing another bootup and as always the stupid impulse routine didn't copy wblind.dll and wbserv.dll to the place it should on startup

 

I never had those problems with sdc -whats up with stardock - I am complaining about this every other update -you know what, Impulse is leaving my machine - that peace of software stinks !!!!

We do not support 64 bit XP as an OS I am afraid, but we are seeing if we can make it install 6.2 files on XP 64 instead.

I had to remove 6.3 from my Windows XP 64 bit system, screwed up my toolbars, 100% cpu usage and visual studio crashes.

plzzz help me i bought wb 6.2 enhanced last month it was working fine last week just to upgrade it i installed impulse and upgraded it then no problem .. i just wanted to try my colours think green n installed ...  theN I  unistalled it ...

A screenshot of the menu on desktop:

i have vista inspirat 2, but the semi tranparence is disabled, i think the problem has to do with the shell default themes and windowblinds, when i "pause" the processes with the alacrity pc (including the shell themes but no windowblinds) the problem is temporaly solved

Why isn't there a "revert to default" button somewhere?
If I install and apply one skin, then does the same with a second and a third, somehow the result is a combination of the three.
It is seriously annoying as currently it's almost needed to reimage the drive between skins to get rid of the garbage inbetween.

For instance, the image below shows a thingy left by either the Azul3D or the Dark Knight skin which for now seems to require
an image restore to remove. (applying another skin doesn't remove it):
