a few questions, problems with Mike Bryant's Arrow WB theme

from Stardock Forums

I have had some trouble with Mike Bryant's "Arrow" pseudo-Vista WB skin. I don't think the problem is with Window Blinds itself, as I have applied other skins and not encountered the problems I've had with Arrow. I had to reboot my computer several times just to get it to skin everything properly. Even then, some menus (like in IE) looked black and impossible to read, others were fine. It seemed to be random. Also, this is the only skin that Norton has had a problem with. I guess I could exclude Norton from the apps list, but I haven't had the problem with any other skin.


Perhaps since Arrow is the first theme with transparencies I've tried to use, maybe that's the problem? Anyone else have problems with Arrow? BTW- how come MicroSoft asked KoL to remove his fake Vista, but this one is still available? Just curious...


Oh yeah, I know someone will ask for this:

I have been having trouble trying to update also. I haven't tried very hard though.

I've been having some problems not only with Stardock Central, but also with the WB site. When I click on "my account" nothing happens. It doesn't show up as a link when I mouse-over. Sounds like a job for WB tech support?

Here's another weird thing...I tried to log out and start over, to see if that made any difference, but I can't even do that.

Yeah it can take a couple of go's to logout...lol... it's like the site don't want anyone to leave, it's most probably due to overworked servers as at diff times things are fine,as for going to get an update to WB5 i doubt that'll fix it as the blind is pre-update plus are'nt the updates beta.

PS: Does this mean there's a cheap WB i'll give you $10.00 for it,well you have used it so it's 2nd hand aint it

The newest update is a release, not a beta. I got in and got my update...took a little while, but it worked ok. Yeah leaf, something weird going on there..but xSCORPx could be right about the servers and everybody trying to update also.

Anyone having trouble clicking on "my account"?  It doesn't work for me. I put in an e-mail to Stardock  Tech support, so, if previous experience is a guide, it should be about 4-5 days before I hear back. Anyway, none of this is a huge deal...it all started because of one particular skin I wanted to use that wasn't working well.
