Problem with menus - Diamond theme

I dont like the idea that WB6 moves my skins into C: so i changed the skin folder into F:\ (one of my hard drives)
I swear that before doing that the diamond theme works correctly and beautifully
But after doing that all of the menus go black!!! Just the diamond theme! other themes work just fine! But DIAMOND, my favourite!!!
HELP ME!!!

See the forum post here
The location where WB looks for skins is set by two registry keys.  They must be set to the same directory.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\wb5.ini\Installed\Path

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\wb5.ini\Installed\Path

If you want to put your skins elsewhere then you can change those keys and copy ALL of the directories off the current WB skin directory to that directory.

I found that thread before i changed my theme dir! And i did exactly what it said!
But, as you see, the menus go black.
Dont tell me to turn the dir back to C:

If I were you I'd go back and check for spelling errors.
You might want to post your Sysinfo from the WB config (how to post your sysinfo)

When Zubaz referenced spelling errors, he was not making an attack on your proficiency in English, rather that the registry keys both matched the path at which the skins were located.

I don't see any account information under this email address. Could you submit an email to support@stardock.com and reference this thread?

Open up the skin folder and delete *.wb4. 

Does that help?

I reinstalled WB6 and that really helped.
@milksama: You are right, i havent purchase WB6. Mine is shareware version. The sysinfo shown above is not mine. It comes from one of my friend when i asked him, Kingtea. But, as you may know, his account has been locked. I think he wont buy a new account, as hes very upset at the moment.

What good does posting someone else's system info do? Isn't really useful when trying to address the problem *you* are having.

hoangbv15,
It would be so much better [that is work so much better] ~! If you buy the program. WB6 and SKS6 is the most latest program for any windows computer. The crack versions all have bugs in them as you have just found. There will be other things that can happen as well. My suggestion is to uninstall that crack program from the computer you are using. Then purchase a full version or download the trial version. There is no such thing as a shareware version for WB6. Only the trial and a purchased versions will work correctly. The Stardock Team has worked very hard to give us members the best programs there is to design our windows with. It is more than worth the purchase.
That and there is to be some really good updates for the future. To be able to get these you must have a current account and have purchased software. [not crack!]

The software can be purchased with a money order via mail. That is if you do not have a credit card. I would look into this strongly if you are serious.

It really won't matter for the effect of support.

If the account isn't yours it is a violation of EULA. By posting fraudulent info here you are also subject to this infringement. Support still keeps up the community by supporting share ware versions of our software. We want everyone to enjoy our software. We also wish to remain in business to make more of this software. What I would suggest is uninstalling the crack and installing the shareware. The effect will be almost the same and support will assist you. We will not help correct a badly working crack.

Hey, all of you seemed to misunderstand! I DONT USE CRACKED PROGRAMS! I SAID, mine is free version, i downloaded the setup from download.com in 10/2/2007, My WB6 is LEGAL, because its a trial version, everyone downloads it for FREE. WHY did all of you say that i used a crack?

Quote: There is no such thing as a shareware version for WB6

Yes, there is. Install WB6 downloaded from download.com, open WB6 configuration, select tab About. The word "shareware" hits our eyes very CLEARY.

P/S: sorry for the mistake, "shareware" and "trial". Btw, please return to my friend his account. Right after you locked his account the 1st time, he hasnt done anything like what you EMAIL him.

I too mix up the wording share ware and trial. No worries there.

However if your friend got banned it was done for a very good reason. You have to go to lengths to get banned from Stardock. Unfortunately this isn't a multiple strikes situation. What people do when they steal software is mess with the livelihood of those that made it. By simply downloading any software illegally from us you are messing with the lives of anyone that works for the company. What I am saying is this isn't a matter for debate. Banned is banned.

BTW, is there any skin that resembles Diamond? (vista-alike windows borders, but doesnt have the reflection effect)
