Couple items with todays update.

1. I had to turn off Auto Archive to get the installation to complete.

2. The Windowblinds button in Display Properties worked once and no longer. If I want to open the Configuration dialog I HAVE to use the Systray item menu.

3. ALL my Per Application settings disappeared. I had about 6 apps excluded and none are showing now.

hi,

Have a similar problem ....
But there's a good news : I see less rendering bugs ....
My theme display better ... I didn't notice dsignificant glitch yet.

Are the blank dialogs with apps like Outlook 2007 (Rules and Alerts) on Vista fixed yet in this build? This is the same problem that was fixed with the most recent build of 5.5. I have not seen any comment on my earlier posts about this bug returning in WB6. Thanks for your time.

It should be

Since updating to the latest build, my window size and location cache is continually being changed. The previous build had no effect on it. When I updated to the latest build, I had to disable archiving to get it to install. Now, I want to go back to the previous build and can't. Any ideas?

Also. Windowblinds is not accessible thru the display properties window.

I have just installed this build: WB6 5.92[b].90 and it crashes winlogon and reboot my machine.

I am running on a on a Window2k3 server (Build 3790.srv03_sp2_gdr.070304-2240 : Service Pack 2). The previous WB6 was working fine for me.

WinXPHome service pack 2-

After looking at the security permissions that came over in the WB folder, I'm wondering if you're trying to get WB6 to install on XP in such a manner that limited users can run the software without the Admin user having to modify the permissions. If so, it's not working, the exe file (and likely others, didn't look at a lot) still comes across without limited user read access.

If you're not trying to deal with the installed permissions then never mind.  

2003 server requires special handling and it looks like the file path changes have caused a problem on that OS.

Ever since I got Microsoft Streets and Trips (2005, 2006, 2007), it has refused to work whenever I had WindowBlinds loaded. It said I needed to get more memory. The work-around was to close Windowblinds and live with Windows XP graphics. Then Streets and Trips would work fine.
A couple days ago I went from WB6 5.90 (?) to WB6 5.92[b].090. All of a sudden, I can load both WindowBlinds6 AND MS Street and Trips! I don't know what Stardock did last week, but ... THANKS FOR THE MEMORY!

Someone should let the developers of ObjectDock and Soundpackager know about this; they are putting stuff in My Documents>Stardock




Same here.

Backup is already very easy. And I hate having stuff buried in the fifth or sixth sub-subfolder & having to navigate to it.

I've had to add outlook express to my per application settings since yesterdays update - everytime i clicked an item on the tool bar outlook express would just immeadiately close. I also lost all my per application settings too. Sorry guys I cant do a carriage return for some reason here so this is all one paragraph    Cheers Gilly

silverspider2005: Which OS are you using and what skin?

Regarding missing exclusions, copy wbperapp.ini from the WB dir to the new skins folder.  The file was missed in the migrate.

Well...~! Seems there are some rather interesting problems related not to the program. But to how it has changed is all for everyone else.
Mine here on Vista is improved with better placement. The file rearrangement was of no problem. Special thanks to a thread by Night Train on where to edit the reg.'s to move the files to another location beside my public folder. So just placed them on C:\ and called it good with a bit of group policy for access of other users. [just to be sure of no probs...]
What I would like to see is a code presentation screen for each area being skined as we had with SKS5. That or atleast a button to open the code for the specific area in like note pad. Would save me a ton of time doing edit's with new code not present with the program itself.
So actually as far as that goes the new WB6 update is fine - a very good beta update!
Oh and if any of you had saved to an archive the former version? There would of been no problems with a roll back. If thats what you prefer to do. Myself I'm more into beta testing with no hands tied with everything completely backed down to the last detail. [ You have to think for yourself and stay ahead of any type of change or malfuctions...] so far so good too - more like great~!

Keep up the good work Stardock I'm enjoying every minute of this release year...~!

Oh and here is the latest work for edit with WB6 and SKS6...

 

OK where is the toggle to turn off loading wb on startup? I cannot find anything with the beta that allows me to disable running at startup/login.

Also I have noticed on occasion that when unloading the beta, when the screen does blur out that the blur holds for almost a full minute. This when I have had the machine quiet and not running any active apps... just idle.

thanks

Worked like a charm! Thanks, Neil.

Kevison: To stop WindowBlinds running at startup you apply a non WB skin (classic or XP style / Aero).

That is how WB has worked on XP and above since WB 3.

Thanks Neil.... I must be loosing my mind. As soon as I read you post, I suddenly remembered. Thanks~

Windows xp sp2 and it does it on any style i load - its happening in explorer to

@ Neophil, #3:
I have the same problem, Neophil. This is the first post I've seen that mentions the prob. I upgraded to WB6 and Start Meneu and Taskbar were skinned 'til I rebooted, then both were rendered in Windows Classic only. When I opened WBconfig, the skin did not show a taskbar in the preview! If there was a substyle to the skin, it still had the taskbar visible in the preview pane, and a skinned taskbar and Start Menu...until reboot, then also that substyle had no taskbar in the preview pane. Any skin I chose, same behavior. Diamond ran until I rebooted, then no taskbar skinned and none visible in the preview pane. Only way I fixed it was to delete the theme and reinstall it, then fine 'til next boot! Weird, yes. Hope it gets fixed soon

I have the same problum help

When ever you apply a new skin or re-apply a skin, the "My Documents " window resizes to the default size. It is quite irritating.
I am using XP SP2.

Your getting there Neil.
The latest release seems to have fixed my Windowblinds button and I still have my exclusions (albeit the ones I made after the last update)

Could anyone who had the BSOD issue with their MCE remote please try the current beta.  We are fairly certain that the issue is fixed.

Do we still need to turn off Auto Archiving to get the latest update? Kinda defeats the purpose of archiving. I lost my last version because of that and had to find another one.
