well i think bk334572 was trying to say that per Pixels wont work on the PUBlic Version(trial)

glass is not supportet the taskbar and other bars...wont load

maybee you stardock guys can fix that

Anyway the software is cool but not that much has changed...

I bought several copys of stardock and I know the registry and shit...

im no big fan of paying for every new version or even upgrading for stuff like this 4 real you guys get enough money for doing this dont you!?

well 4 bk334572  your and everybody elses Problem with the Black shitty startbar can be solved by just deinstall Windowblinds 5 illegalwarez copy and restart..ass prompted

after deinstllation clear the registry by search for stardock...

press F3 to search for the next one until its telling you that ithas checked all the mess

NOW 4 all of you WindowsShoppers

1.dissconect any online activity,disconnect any cables to your online modem or else wireless Lan just go offline and remove the Card

2.go to your system clock change Date know Reinstall do whats wtrittin down in the info or readme then press restart after changing the dll

IT will work without any problems if the Date is correct and if the PC or Lap is offline and no cables are connectet to the PC Laptop ect Wireless disconnect aND REMOVE CARD IT will work 100%

sorry that I had to write this down but i simply had to cause this is the first time that a stardock board is liyng to me about there software and im pissed like everybodyelse on this board ...you were saying its the crack that causes trouble? NO its Stardock !!wich is pissed that normaly kids have cracked & broken their famous incredible shields to defend the software and 4 those that bought it it will not make any diffrence So why Stardock why are you liyng to your Users?just answer that question

I love your software but I hate lying Companys

Its Not always about the money it s about people knowing your product and how many using it and how they like it and talk over it this will give your Company probs ever thought about this people that are telloing others and so on how great this piece of software is...next time dont tell stuff like its the crack tell us its US we dont want you illegal user to USE this software thats why we made a little somethin somethin up to ...you know best thanks and goodbye

I see absolutely no sense in a company defending itself why cracks to it's software don't work...

dang, #155 isn't making any sense in any language

well headshoto maybee you explain in english or French Spain or so

Und pass mal besser in Englisch auf...

I know of very few software companies that give major version updates away for free. Office releases once every 2-3 years and it's typically a large overhaul and you have to buy it again at retail if you want the newer version. Same thing for Adobe, Macromedia, Apple etc... In general, those people who do offer you all versions from now until the end of time once you've purchased the software are very small shareware developers.

If you want a really good deal on WB5 and all the other products, get Object Desktop Network. For something like $50 a year you get access to most of their skinning software as a bundle and any upgrades that occur over the 1 year sub period. Some years, you'll get a great deal when most of the apps get an update. Heck, I got my ODNT sub value alone with WB since I used WB4 and WB5. At $20 each, I've just about made up my subscription in just WB. Add in DesktopX, IconPackager etc... excellent deal. So drop the "greedy" argument, it doesn't work here.

OK, and how old are you? I have finansial problems and that's normal, because of my age. I'm 13.

Check my profile, it's all in there. Age isn't the issue here anyway, either save for it or get your parents to buy it for you as a Christmas gift. Let me reiterate, if you can afford to have a PC and net access, I'm sure you'll be able to save up 60zl. Might not be within a week or two, but eventually, you will.

If I can't afford something, I don't go out and steal it. I just don't buy it and live without it. PCs, net, software, they're luxuries, not life's necessities. Though I have a feeling saying this will have an effect akin to bashing one's head against a brick wall.

I want a Ferrari.

u can't use the fact that u can't afford it to justify that its right to use warez or that u have to use it..

if u can't afford things, then u can't have it... unless u steal it... which is what ur doing with warez.. no matter what the reason is... its still not right to use warez.. whether u can or cant afford.

Maybe it's because I havn't read past page 3 but there seems to be some loop holes in this sotry I'm hearing.
I used a pirated copy and my system got messed up so I uninstalled it.
You claim that it was not windoblinds that did this but the crack I used. The crack was software I can see where software would mess my system up. HOWEVER, people who shared registry keys with their friends also had their systems chewed up. They didn't install anything other than windowblinds that would do this to their system??? Someone please explain what happened to their systems for me. I think I'm just not understanding something.

Was this just WB's responce to cracks or did the crack-maker decide to be an ass? Can someone clear this up for me? I'm confused...
And before someone tells me "just go buy it HUR." No, I won't buy software from a company that's that mean. So unless I get some questions answered and confromation that it WAS the crack I used and NOT windowblinds, I'm not paying for anything.

I don't know what it was, but I got one thing to contribute: obviously just turning your system clock back to a date before 16th of december is a workaround for this issue.
I'm posting this here because some people who have actually bought the software claimed to have issues; if anyone from Stardock sees this as a workaround against their "copy protection", feel free to delete my post - it was only made in order to help some of the users here out.

And before you ask, I'm using the trial version of Windowblinds. Can't afford the full version as a student with shipping to Europe and all that shit, so I'll just stay clean and use this as long as I'm allowed to - even if I'll have to look for a different skinning program in a few weeks I guess, although I really love WB :/ But no can do, right?

TheLain: Purchasing WB does not normally involve shipping unless you need it on a CD.

Its $19.95 for electronic download.  Thats less than £12 for UK users for example.
