Looks cool in the preview!

"Do you have any papers to show you have no papers?"

The new UI is a real improvement. Now I'm really looking forward to skins optimized for Windows 7. In particular the Windows 7 Aero skin has a very cool feature where open windows are outlined when placing the mouse pointer over the Show Desktop bar. That feature is not supported by the WB skins I've tried so far.

I'll ask again. Does this now or will it ever support compact start panels??

so when do we get logon 7? boot 7 (should be animated), and working deskscapes for win 7? id post this in the forums, but they dont seem to be working today

@ RedBuzzard"compact start panel is not a WB feature or even a OS feature, its a skin based trick, so compact menus depend on the skinner to make it.

One observation is that compact start menus may work only for XP as Vista and Windows 7 no longer have icon on the right side of the start menu, the user picture fades in to the icon for the item you mouse over.

Deskscapes 3 should be coming soon.

Logon 7 is already out in beta form I think and I doubt you will see a Boot 7.

The outlines should continue to appear with WB running.

Thanks DanilloOc

No problem...I figured that to be the case...just dont want to lose any features.

Really like most of it so far...Corporate looks great.

I have a suggestion...when looking at the substyles you see an icon denoting which subs are default for each OS...it would be nice if we could set a flag in SKS that also labels which OS the other subs are for...so people could see at a glance which ones were for which OS.

This isnt a problem if a skin only has one sub per OS but I have 6 per OS on ecoLogical. (plus saved recolors)

Simply EXCELLENT !  

they do for me...tho they look a little odd around the edges...I think it might be the default WIN7 shadows.Havnt really looked that close...with no visible desktop icons that feature dosnt seem useful to me.

specific window focus from the taskbar mouseover is neat tho.

I'm looking for a better way to do that.Right now I have to include saved presets for each color,for EACH sub,for EACH OS.The list gets huge and cumbersome.

Maybe somebody can show me how to make one set of colors global for all subbs.In other words...user chooses which sub to apply and can pick any color preset without it being assigned to THAT particular sub.

Just a list of color presets that could be applied to anything.

Wow, I'm impressed  

I've experimented a little more and it seems the Show Desktop outlines are not consistently displayed even when I just use the Windows 7 Aero skin. Maybe it's related to the display driver version I'm using? I have a Nvidia 9600 GT and currently use the 186.18 drivers.

I installed the new Windows Blind 7. It says 6.5 Beta on the right side but when I push history, it says Beta 2.

My problem is that I do not seem to be able to view color changes in preview, WYSIWYG. Hss this happened to anyone or can I get some help please? Thank you.

Okay, Here's one. While in the new interface my list of windowblinds stops at the letter "I" (even after I do "rebuild List"). Also some windowblinds like Ghostshell for instance have no start panel or taskbar.

RedBuzzard: How many WB skins do you have?

What happens if you rebuild the skin list using the option under skin options?

Still the same thing. I have at least 50 or 60 Windowblinds in my directory. The old interface showed everything. Also windowblinds like 3FX show like this :

And if I say edit in skinstudio it comes up with no taskbar or start panel.

In case you haven't noticed when running Windows7:

If the skin comes up in skinstudio without a taskbar or start panel then showing the diamond ones is normal.  WB 7 expects a skin to have XP parts and if they do not exist it will use diamond instead.

It does apply correctly while in the old interface but, using the new interface the stuff that looks like it's missing loads xp classic. It only shows no taskbar or start panel in skinstudio if I tell it to edit while in the new interface. Using the old one it's fine. In other words the xp parts are there WB7 just doesn't see them on some blinds.

 

I like the grabby slidey function.

  Like the overall look, love the new expanded thumbnail previews, color tiles selection is handy, Corporate skin is sharp. Well worth the effort of updating.  

I'm noticing the same problem as skyzyk above, the color changes don't do anything. I've tried with Corporate and Miricla, both should change colors and nothing happens. I've tried all sorts of checkboxes, etc and nothing happens. Also I thought Stardock was an American company, so why does the interface have Color spelled incorrectly as Colour
