WindowBlinds 6 Beta feedback

from Stardock Forums
Summary:
Can I have WB 5 back on the list for d/l from Stardock Central? This WB 6 is not ready for primetime yet.

Problems:
Start Menu corruption (highlighted items not repainting correctly).
WB6 configuration dialog repaint problems (wallpaper main window, all text on all tabs. Everything.)
I can't read any of the text next to any of the checkboxes on the Settings tab, and i can only see the one checked checkbox.
When clicking back and forth between the Wallpaper and Settings tab, the text does not repaint. So I get both the "Change your wallpaper using the options below ... " and the "You can override the default settings ..." text jumbled together.

Thanks,

As with any Beta project it is always good and even better with just whatever you do with your programs to make a complete BACKUP of any and all programs being used in SDC. It is in the instructions for saving your archives to backup file folder in SDC. That and I always keep a complete backup of all my computers to a image file with a good backup partition program.

good luck

... Yes.

But can we please have WB 5 made available for download again?

If WB 6 is a beta, then WB 5 ought never to have been removed. It's a component of Object Desktop, and therefore ought to be available to a subscriber. Which I am.

when you uninstall WB6 using SDC, then 5 shows up
