Where is the beef???

SS6 update info missing

from WinCustomize Forums

I was just getting ready to uninstall SS6 and revert back to just using SS5 as I am encountering way to many issues with the program and with the resultant presentation. Going to object desktop, I was informed that SS6 has an update HOWEVER, the history information is all about pre6.0 issues. Deciding not to install the update and see if there was more information under the object desktop heading HOWEVER I did not even find the update mentioned as being available.

C'mon guys/gals, I give you an A in concept and attempting to resolve issues but really low marks is documentation, wiki data and issue transparency.

Hey, I got an idea. why not set up a wiki-problem link with each element like the wiki link. Then we can provide information to other skinners of problems that are being encountered, provide you with positive feedback and hopefully get some of these issues resolved.

sk5 is going to be phazed out eventually, your better off sticking to sk6, its a good proggy.

Do you still use Stardock Central? If so you should install and you Impulse it'll replace SDC and it's way better.

Talking about transparency issues i saw a lot of people telling this but cause they used TGA/PNG with Alpha chanel in some skinning's sections that doesn't support Alpha chanel but Magic pink BMP

The Wiki is writen by users/skinners not by the developpers, so if anyone know a bit on SKS6 they can write it on the Wiki for future/others skinners/users

Just to be sure, the main gripe was that the history for the upgrade for SS6 was not provided. I am having a number of issues with it and WB6. not being able to open files, corrupted WB6 presentations, etc. I don’t really think that I am the only one encountering issues. I search the forums, I email tech support but alas the solutions are not readily forthcoming or available. I would like things to work as they are touted to do. (probably just wishful thinking, but…) I would like not to have to start from scratch so many times because of a technical glitch.

I’ll look into the impulse, first time I have heard of it, thanks.

Off note: great karma levels AirleenDesign and kittymalone.
