What happened to the blur effect when switching skins?

from Stardock Forums
I just downloaded the latest build of WB. It looks like the blur effect going to the please wait dialog is gone. Was this feature removed?

You have the wrong version installed. Un-install it, re-boot and install 5.49t beta

Bebi,I dont like it either...I would like it to function like the logoff/shutdown mode...that way we could skin it.

Actually, it would be kinda cool if we could be able to choose the transition to use.

wB 5.49t (installed directly) flush these themes under Windows XP (cyclops, 5imple, buufos,... all new themes included for Vista build) after the installation via Stardock Central.

Not sure what that has to do with this topic, but you should *always* backup your skins when you uninstall anything.

You could if it were like I said...logoff transition,the skinner picks the mask.

Hello,

Cyclop, 5imple, Retro,... are default wB themes. If i install wB 5.49t directly, all folders are empty.

Wrong thread Darken...you need to ask this question elsewhere.

On a roll tonight...I can never tell which themes have become default or not. I usually end up deleting a lot of the default themes because I never use them, but there's been so many updates lately I've gotten lazy. In other news, seems like Murphy has moved onto you as a new puppet (was getting sick of him myself).

Under Windows XP, impossible to install latest wB stable build.

After you revert back to WB 5.49t you need to click on "Rebuild list" in WindowBlinds Configuration screen. "ALL" previously installed blinds are there.

Hello, tested on two computers and don't work. All theme folders are empty.
