Without the activation WB 5 beta will be unable to run. I believe for machines without internet access, there is a procedure where you have to e-mail a file to stardock support and they e-mail back an activation file.
The current theme manager is not compatible with WindowBlinds 5. There were changes to how a skin has to be applied and theme manager is not aware of these changes.
ls_dragons: The current WindowBlinds 5 betas do not work on 64 bit windows. This is noted in the readme. We will be adding support for 64 bit Windows later in the beta.
With all skins?
Which OS is this on?
We have now resolved this internally
Your tab issue appears to be a bug in the skin itself. The skin failed to define sizing margins on the tabs.border section and this is why this problem happens. Find the [tabs.border] section in the GT3 UIS files and change it to [Tabs.Border] Image=GT3\GT3_tabs_border_75.bmp LeftWidth =3 RightWidth = 3 TopHeight =3 BottomHeight=3
Double click on wbload on the 2nd account. This should run & do nothing. Does it now work?
The adobe menu issue should be fixed in the latest build on OD
Please make sure you have the latest WB5 beta installed.
You are missing 2 key WB files. WindowBlinds is not going to run without them. Please try reinstalling WB. Your lack of perpixel alpha is normal for the G450 though. They don't support it and never will do.
As with Windows Vista, these apps are not compatible with semi transparent borders.
There seems to be a misunderstanding here. TweakXP Pro, TrueLaunchBar or any other app which claims to give you a semi transparent taskbar just gives you one constant semi transparent value which is applied to the taskbar. We have this kind of feature in WindowFX for example. This is live transparency but the entire window gets the same level of transparency. The feature in WindowBlinds 5 allows the skin author to decide on the alpha on a per pixel basis. For
Print screen would take a screenshot btw.
We will look into this.
Its a technical reason due to limitations in the Windows OS. Constant alpha & colourkeying would work with live transparency, but per pixel cannot without some serious recoding of explorer.
rustyb22: Please ensure you have the very latest build of SDC installed as some earlier ones tried to do something with a WB dll which caused SDC to crash out during the install.
An ATI 7500 cannot play any top of the line games. Its a good 5 years old minimum.
j dott: It sounds like you have the first beta installed. The winzip extraction problem was specifically fixed in the 4.9 beta 1b build.
spot1701: No other app can make the task bar support per pixel alpha. Only a constant alpha setting or colour keyed transparency.
The arrow titlebars are clear so if you put them over a white background they will appear to be white.
That is not a bug.
This is a known bug. The next build will resolve the problem. Its caused by an error in how WB is painting the inactive state of menubars which means it just paints things randomly.
Also make sure you have the very latest build of SDC installed.
It sounds like an overlay bug. As in the hardware is saying I can do overlays, but then not providing it correctly. In which case its a driver bug. My guess is you have an ATI card?
