Reply to theme manger not applying wb5 styles in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

Older Theme Manager builds are not aware of WindowBlinds 5 changes. There should be an update of Theme Manager to resolve this.

No, there will be a Wfx update to work with WB5

In no version of WB5 have per pixel titlebar skins supported a text background.

I believe your ThinkDesk 1 year subscription starts counting when ThinkDesk is officially released. So it hasn't started yet. There should be a new Keepsafe build and Multiplicity build coming soon.

Reply to Wallpaper Disappeared after Yestersay's Update? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

The latest build had no changes to wallpaper support and the display properties desktop tab is not touched by WindowBlinds and never has been. Your Object Dock Plus issue sounds like a problem with Object Dock Plus, not WindowBlinds.

We believe the black area is caused by WB not correctly setting one of the system colours. This has been fixed for the next build. On the windowblinds button, this should be in display properties still. If it is not, run regsvr32 wbui.dll from the WB directory on 32 bit Windows OSes. On 64 bit OSes we currently have not updated the display properties UI but will be doing so before final release.

You should be able to run it under other user accounts. We certainly have in testing! Just run wbconfig to change the skin as normal.

Reply to WB5 Taskbar Transparency in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

WindowFX and all those other apps do constant transparency. The entire taskbar has one transparency level. If you set this to say 10% then the entire bar is 10% visible and the text would be unreadable. The WindowBlinds 5 feature is per pixel. This gives the skin author so much more control and the text, icons etc can remain fully visible. The side effect is it is not aware of windows under it.

Slow doing what?

Reply to WindowBlinds 5 Beta 1 Released in Object Desktop WinCustomize Forums

The current WB 5 build on OD (4.95 beta) should handle multiple users just fine. Just open wbconfig to change skin.

Reply to WB5 crash with vesmgr.exe (VAIO Event Service Manager) in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Do you get any crash messages?

pinchecl: Maximized windows don't have visible left & right frames so thats why there is no per pixel on them I am unsure about your other issues. Per pixel doesn't support custom menubars, MDI images, text backgrounds etc, so if you are talking about that then thats perfectly normal for per pixel skins. Non per pixel skins should continue to work as they did with WB 4.6.

No it is not. The new WindowBlinds beta is out now, but the WindowFX one is still under development.

MP should bind to ALL active adapters (and thus IPs)

Reply to Configuration of 3 machines, only 2 can mouse slide over? in ThinkDesk Stardock Forums

Multiplicity Standard only supports one secondary machine. So either on the left or on the right. Multiplicity Pro supports more secondary machines (upto 6 I believe)

The latest beta of WB5 now on OD (4.95) supports 64 bit XP.

Reply to Why do Delphi-written applications not skin right in menus. in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Delphi apps tend to use ownerdrawn menus. In this case WB tries its best to make the menus look like the menu skin, but it can only do so much. If the skin just uses flat menus (like the Windows XP style) then there is no problem because the menu content area isn't being skinned. The problem will be worse on skins which set the systemwide menu colours differently to the average colour of the menu skins.

Reply to WB5 Beta 1B -> Skin Corruptions & x64 Timeline? in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

The current plans are for the next beta release to support 64 bit XP.

Oh and the system tray icon will be back in the next beta

Reply to wb5 questions in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Do not delete skins manually from explorer. The delete option in wbconfig should be used.
