Help with WB animations

Just in here to see if yrag answerd this yet haveing the same thing going on after updateing to wb 4.2 in sc.

Well...let's cover all the bases...go into SDC and make sure WB version 4.20.017 is installed. If it is then click on it and another file will show: Skins 4.20.005. Install it. If all that is already done go here https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?wp=2&optAnimationSupport=on&sort=date&searchtext=&order=Descending&library=1 and download and install 'Last (Cobalt) 1.2' (you do not have to load it). Open WB Config/My Animations, click on 'Cobalt' and apply and see if it now works...

yrag: I did what you said but still not all of the animations play. I see the copy, delete & empty recycle bin animations, I cant see the file download animation though.. Even though the WB supports it

If you got all of them except the download animation, then I think that's as far as you're going. I knew the IE Download dialog box wasn't skinned, but never gave notice to the icons. Those are Window default icons and are included in the group of icons that cannot be changed (except thru 'surgery'), thus no animation (although in some proggies it will show animated). I'll look around and see if there is a work around (probably a registry key), but I think in the end you/we are stuck with the defaults in the present Window frame. The animation and tool bar features in WB are a work in process, so I would just live with it until a few more versions come out and see if they might do the trick...

ok well thank you so much for your help I appreciate it.

Same here but thanks yrag

Not to throw a monkey wrench in the works, but IE download animations work for me.

Randy...thanks for the wrench ...does your download dialog box skin and do you have settings so that the download box exits after download completes?

Yes, it is skinned, and no, the download box remains open.

Well, Randy...you and your wrench embarrassed me in to trying everything until I came up with answer!!


OK guys...if you want download animations: 'disable' Web Blinds.


...send the thank you notes to Koasati

nah, I'm not the one that did all the thinking, you are.   ...................I was just bragging.  hehe   

...and deservingly so ....

thank you guys now everything is all good now I'll go download some stuff just to watch it work

For me i can't disable Web Blinds because when i do Internet Explorer freeze's up anytime i type in the address bar or log in some where and then a box pops up that says Internet Explorer has incounterd a problem and needs to close .i guess i will leave it like that at least the skins look pretty

sherri ruby - where are you 'Disabling' from? (IE, Folder, Start Menu, Etc)

Start menu

Yeah...that's the correct place...it should work. You may be one of the few whose computer took that last update without puking... (think it was .014 ). You are probably right in leaving it go until Window Blinds does it all and you can un-install Web Blinds.

This started the day i first installed WB about 6 months ago then i bought OD then when WB became 4.2 i upgrated through SDC but still the same but thanks for your help i'll keep trying as time goes on .
