That sounds great and one hell of an idea. I wish like hell that is the way it is now. Personally i don't give a rat's ass about the jagged corners, i just want the transparncy to work as designed. As i said before it's very dissapointing to have only 75% of such a beautiful skin like Dreamland appear properly. I would not care one bit if when i moved or resized a window if the contents of the window were not visible and there was only an outline, so as long as when i was done moving the win

Well i tried it and no luck. WB5 appears to run fine but i am not getting the full glassy effect. I have the dreamland skin applied and here is what really confuses me and pisses me off. The entire taskbar is transparent like it should be, the start menu is transparent like it shoud be, the right-click menus are transparent like they should be, but the windows are not. What the hell? Doesn't seem fair. In my system info it mentioned that my machine does not support per pixel borders and th

SHADEBLENDCAPS ??? WHAT IS THIS in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

"Per-pixel skinning requires your drivers to at least claim to support the SB_PIXEL_ALPHA flag in the SHADEBLENDCAPS structure." I have seen this over and over again. Since i am not a 100% computer nerd, can someone explain to me what the whole SHADEBLENDCAPS structure thing is and how to fix it or check to see what the values are?

Great, i did not know that. Thanks and it sounds like this is what i should do. I appreciate your comments.

I thought about that but i thought i read somewhere that you don't get the full features with the trial and cannot truly use the per pixel alpha? If the trial is actually fully functional then you're correct that would be a good option.

Considering Buying WB5 - in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I am considering purchasing windowblinds 5 but don't want to if it will not work decently on my laptop which is around 4 years old. I am pretty sure it has a smaller sized integrated video card which is the cause for my concern. My laptop is a Sony PCG-V505AX and i believe only has 16mb of installed Video Memory. Since this is a laptop with an integrated video card and there is no way of adding more video memory, i am concerned about purchasing windowblinds 5 since it may not work. Does anyo
