Help please?

from Stardock Forums

I wanted to change my desktop to a World of Warcraft theme ( http://www.wownation.net/world-of-warcraft-article159.html ). I downloaded WindowBlinds and the IconPackage, and when I applied the WoW theme, everything went to hell. It looks nothing like what it's supposed to be. The only thing that worked is the iconpackage (My Computer picture is changed)

 

In any window I open, the close, minimize and the third button arn't there, so I have to close the window by going to File and close, or right clicking the tab.

 

I meet all of the system requirments except for my driver (I'm going to update it right now, see if that works. I'm running a Nvidia GeForce 6600 graphics card)

 

Can anyone help me please? (P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong section)

 

*EDIT*

 

I updated my driver, and it still doesn't look right. I don't get it, all the other ones (like Aero or Dragon) are working now, but WoW isn't! WTF?!

What OS are you running?

Have you rebooted?

Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on "System info" then click the "Copy text" button. Paste that info here.

The WoW theme was built on a previous version of WB, and may not work/look correct on say, Vista or with WB 6.

I'm running Windows XP. And yes, I rebooted. I tried using Aero Metal before I updated my card and rebooted, and it didn't work. After I updated and rebooted, it's working.

 

@Highlander: Is there a recent version of WoW theme?

 

@Hankers:

How long has the trial version of WindowBlinds been on the computer?

Sounds like the WB needs updated.

Just an FYI:

The trial of WindowBlinds does not skin all parts of the GUI.

The full [paid] version does.

 

That trial you have should give you a reasonable idea of whether you like WB or not before the trial period runs out.

Beyond that, it's a damned good purchase if you decide to go all in & buy the full version, but before you do that ...look at the ObjectDesktop suite.

 

....better deal ;)
