WB5 Beta 1B -> Skin Corruptions & x64 Timeline?

October 10, 2005 8:15:30 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
First, the bug. I'm finding quite often that when I minimize, maximize or restore my windows using WB51B with either the Arrow skin or the updated KoL VistaXP skin the screen doesn't redraw properly and leaves the window's remnants on the underlying windows. For example, as I type this, I have Firefox open and maximized on a second monitor. If I restore it and move it, it leaves the image of the maximized Firefox window underneath. It seems to be a redraw issue, and seeing as this software is beta, I'm hoping this bug report will help. In order to get rid of the ghosting, I have to kill and restart explorer.exe. (At least I'm not having the rundll32 error like everybody else! )

(Just for info, here's my TS Report:
WindowBlinds 5 BETA Troubleshooting Report:

STATUS : WB+ SRV+ HLP+ UI+

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC.

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

'NetMeeting driver' also exists as device '\\.\DISPLAYV1', but is not attached to the desktop and is a mirror driver.
'RDPDD Chained DD' also exists as device '\\.\DISPLAYV2', but is not attached to the desktop and is a mirror driver.

Now, for the second issue, has any kind of timeline been released for WB5 Beta on Windows x64? I use that as my primary OS on my desktop, and I'm missing the transparencies already. Any update would be appreciated!

Which version of Windowblinds are you running and which version of Windows (including service packs).

We unfortunately do not have any sort of timeline for 64-bit Windows, although we would like to see it released for as many OS's as possible.

(By the way, the Rundll32 error was actually addressed in one of the Windowblinds 5 Beta updates.)

Man I hope it's soon   I suppose you guys and gals know better than I do how much of your userbase uses x64, though.

All I can say is it's in the works.  We look not at our x64 userbase size, for we are small in company size! To exclude the x64 group indefinitely would be hypocritical, no?

A more concrete date would be nice. I bought Object Desktop as soon as the WB5 beta news came out and waited with much anticipation for the release only to find out x64 wasnt supported. I foolishly assumed that since wb 4.6 works on x64 wb 5 beta would too. I just hope I didn't waste my money

The current plans are for the next beta release to support 64 bit XP.
