Works Perfectly. (OD Subscriber)

They've also added a couple skins to the package which are pretty nice looking. Job well done once again Stardock.

What about on subscribers? the order page still says 4.x? I didn't order it yet, is the version 5 yet?

What does Activation for WindowBlinds mean? Do I need an internet connection to run WB? I wanted to order a license for my work pc which does not have an internet connection since my OD subscription runs out in January...

Now that Windowblinds 5 is officially out, maybe some skinners can make some decent looking skins/themes for it instead of the trash which has recently come out

I don't know how you can call KoL's vistaxp, dogmax 4, a touch of glass2, arrow, WinAjuda, and dreamland trash skins? Of course those are just my personal favorites so far and techincally wb5 isn't actually out yet. Give it some time.

Remember the saying (for WB and msstyles) 99% of all themes are pointless. Of that 1% you will find only 10% of them to your liking that will make it into your library of skins. When you think of it that way it is actually a small amount. Now to all those authors of the 99.9% please don't take that the wrong way, you all do good work, it's just that it doesn't appeal to me for whatever reason.

I would be more excited if I could get Stardock Central to work! Nick's been trying to help, unloading/re-installing/offering sacrifices to Mr. Wardel...so far with no luck. Maybe it's cause I couldn't find the virgin for the ceremony and he was upset I used a large photo of Bill Gates instead. Inquiring minds want to know.

Okay, i purchased WB4.6 one Week ago.
That means the WB5 Final is free for me.
I downloaded the File from c242s link. But now the Shareware Window dropped in...

Can i tipe my WB Code anywhere in ? Or must i Dl another Version of WB5 - and where can i find it. If i got to the DL Sektion and over "i already purchased WB" link i only get the 4.6 again...
So what the F... it´s 13:00 Pm of the 29th here

Citizen Denon36...The link provided by C242 is a link to the SHAREWARE version. You should not just download things without looking at what it is first. You can get version 5.0 by downloading Stardock Central. There will most likely be quick updates so Stardiock central is the way to go.

Those who have purchased WB and qualify for the free upgrade to WB5 will get their link later today.  Please remember the time where you are makes no difference.  Stardock are GMT-5 and obviously all dates & times are based on that timezone.

It is not possible to enter a serial to change the shareware build into a registered build.

Just a note....when I installed at the end it ask me if I wish to run the program now, NOT if I wish to reboot. I read an earlier thread and the history which both say to reboot so I said no and rebooted. Everything seems to work fine.

This might cause some problems for those who don't actually read the directions.

I knew a lot of Programs where i can upgrade the Shareware Version
if i had a Serial. So i think with WB it is the same.....
Hope i receive my Upgrade mail soon. Really pissed off here - sorry...

Cause also in the States it is the 29th now......
