Is WindowBlinds dead? The fix for the for the six month old Windows update has been pulled and now there's no fix in sight for the current Windows update. If Microsft continues its pattern of six month releases and Stardock continues to take more than six months to patch WindowBlinds there isn't much chance of a fix. It makes me sad!

The ESET fix worked but there's one extra step if you have HIPS disabled: enable it and reboot. If you create the rule before you reboot it forgets the rule. It's great to have Windows looking good again! Thanks!! [e digicons]:D[/e]

Had some initial problems caused by ESET HIPS. Totally disabling HIPS lets WB8 work (and it is EXCELLENT!) but I'm having trouble with just allowing wbcore. E SET's rule creation process leaves me baffled. Any chance you could provide specifics? Thanks in advance and

Sometimes restarting the control panel will cause a setting to be applied but usually I have to go into Task Manager and shut down the process and restart. One time when I did that I got an invisible cursor. It was interesting, but really hard to use! I'm hoping the next version will be full

Add me to the list as well. All I get for previews is a tiny white square with a shadow and it isn't clickable to get the large preview. I tried both IE and Firefox with no improvement. Then I tried the WinCustomize Browser. Everything was back to normal! Would it be cynical to suggest that someone wants to promote the WinCustomize Browser?

I saw the plea for support so I tried the WinCustomize browser once again (third try). The Skins & Themes section simply doesn't work on my computer. I've tried the FAQ's and the newsgroup and the help files. I've been a paying customer for years (Object Desktop, WindowBlinds, etc.) but I just can't bring myself to pay for a program that doesn't work for me. I may give it another try someday if the demo ever gets past the 1.0 version. On the plus side, I love the software and the regul
