Is windowblinds 5 v.5.51 fully compatible with Vista64?

Impulse tells me WB is not installed correctly, even after updating. My logoff and shutdown buttons never change when I change a WB, they remain the default Vista buttons...Any help would be greatly appreciated

1) Hey Skinhit, not sure, info from WB history in Impulse seems funny for 5.92 beta refresh, beta of WB 6

 

x64 Vista support added. Please uninstall 5.51 x64 Vista, reboot, and reinstall fresh.

if x64 added then how there was a x64 for 5.51 I don't know.

 

2) Why are you using such an old version brother.

Try this: (if you haven't already tried it)

Backup every theme installed.
Nuke everything related to WB, via Impulse.
Remove the WB folder manually (if not done by Impulse)

Reboot.

Start Impulse. Reset data (Impulse orb -> prefs -> reset data -> 'no' to restart Impulse)

Reboot.

Start Impulse, and, hopefully, you should see WB 7
(Remember to have 'Show Pre-release versions' checked. impulse orb -> Show Pre-release versions)

If that doesn't help. Try nuking Impulse, reboot, and reinstall Impulse.

ODNT Zapper does a good job nuking stardock apps, as Snowy said above move or back-up themes as zapper will nuke them also.

Do You use customized font size ? Big Fonts cause this for me.
