WB5 Beta or Release?

from Stardock Forums
I just bought Object Desktop (mainly because of WB5) and now I'm wondering why the Stardock Central is offering me only a Beta of WB 5 for download (5.00[b].009).
Doesn't the website state, that it is "released"?

Not, that the beta is not running fine, but where do I get the release version? I thought, I paid for it...

I also realized that this WB5 doesn't co-operate flawless with WindowFX (2.20c[b].003). When new windows are opened they are not initially skinned. Only if I move the window, the skin appears.

SDC shows you the latest version of any app which is why you see the beta as you have show betas ticked.  If you disable show betas, the non beta version of WB5 will show.

Regarding WFX, this is known and there is a WindowFX update coming soon.  To avoid that problem, disable window open animations in WindowFX.

I have had no trouble using WindowFX - using it only for maximize window size - that way I can maximize and still have the transparent edges.

You jsut explained why you don't have problems, bichur: not using window "animations". Shadows work well, and the max limit. I use both and the shadows is why I wanted WFX. Window dragging causes my CPU to lag, not in usage, just painting is veeerrrrrryyyy slow. Wanted that too, but hoping this is not just my card and will be a fix in later version.

Neil, you are doing great work! Thanks for all you have done with WB.
