If we were to code a fancy taskswitching feature, it would most likely be part of WindowFX.

You do not need to disable DEP with WB 4.4 If you are having problems with 4.4 and AMD64 processors please contact [email protected].

Reply to CursorXP Freezing right after install. in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

The problem with WB &amp SP2 with AMD64 chips was fixed in 4.4. If you still have a problem with WB 4.4 on the machine then please uninstall WB, delete its directory (and wbsys.dll in the system32 dir) &amp then reinstall WB as the install obviously didn't overwrite some files correctly. CursorXP has a known issue which will cause it to crash when DEP is enabled on AMD64 chips running SP2.&nbsp Disabling DEP is a workaround for now but we are working on a solution to this.

Reply to Cursor XP in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It does not work with Athlon 64 processors when running SP2 and with DEP enabled. Stardock are working on resolving this.

The next time we release a build of WB onto OD it will have an option for when there is not a close button.

If its not working for you when you reboot I would add a shortcut to wbload.exe in your startup group. See if that helps.

Who confirmed that? If we are talking about transparency in the background part of a progress bar than thats not permitted.

Have you modified any of your system files in anyway? (in particular desk.cpl) It should appear in display properties the same way WB 4.3 etc did, but the code was changed to make things quicker.

Reply to Talisman: critical review in OS Customization JoeUser Forums

sacrat : I have looked at your problems and have the following comments: 1) The russian font issue is most likely a side effect of the font the skin decided to use for its menus. If that font didn't support the Cyrillic chars then you would get a problem. This is NOT a WindowBlinds problem. You could do the same by setting that font for menus in classic mode. HOOGE OS_53 isn't exactly a standard font! 2) The BAT. Your progressbar

It seems IE is being too clever &amp doesn't want to open those files.&nbsp They do save as .wba files here though. We will look into why IE is acting oddly &amp hopefully find a workaround for it.

Yes the most recent SP2 build has resolved the problem with it and WBs toolbar icon support.

Reply to windowblinds 4.2 + ati catalyst 4.3 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It sounds like there is an app running which has installed a buggy hook. I would look at what apps auto start via the startup menu or the registry RUN keys.

Reply to windowblinds 4.2 + ati catalyst 4.3 in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

WB stops menu skinning after you have had the shareware version of WB installed for 30 days.

Reply to Anybody notice the newest WB update? Wow! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Only the XP version gets the new faster skin apply &amp 'morph' feature.

Reply to Anybody notice the newest WB update? Wow! in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It will only 'morph' if you change skins from wbconfig and if you are not using a multiple monitor system (works on some, not others).&nbsp You also require a high end graphics card (ATI, Nvidia, Matrox) NightTrain2002: Earlier versions of WB did not have this feature.

It would be very useful if we can determine which BHO is causing the problem.&nbsp Then we can try and repro it and see why it causes a problem.

Reply to Windowblinds problem - screen distortion in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

It sounds like your monitor is the problem. Large areas of black or white will alter the shape.&nbsp It will curve out for lots of white and in for lots of black.&nbsp I even once saw a monitor that went out of focus briefly when you maximized a window. A good monitor can switch from almost fully black to almost fully white without the edges of the screen moving at all (just like a TFT monitor)

Reply to WindowBlinds Advaced Configuration in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

If a 'trial' version of WB that runs all of the WB skins is skinning the scrollbars in anything apart from IE/Explorer sidebars then its not a trial copy. An easy way to check is to bring up the about screen from the system tray icon. If it says shareware then its a trial copy, otherwise it isn't.

Reply to Windowblinds 4.2 and XP SP2 Beta in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

Thats the only issue we are aware of and its probably due to a minor bug somewhere in WB thats been exposed by minor changes to the OS. Its likely to be resolved before WB 4.3 is released.

Reply to What is up with this? Another case of right click menus not getting skinned.... in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

Actually the problem is much simpler than that. The shareware version of WB stops skinning menus after 30 days. The idea is you register the software if you like it and using both 3.5 and 4.0 for more than 30 days would suggest you do like it!
