WindowBlinds 6.3 Support Thread

Silly me, has the beta been released yet?

I don't see it on Impulse, probably  just need to wait a few minutes im guessing.

Shows for me but clicking update does nothing.

Same here, but restart Impulse showed it had downloaded it partly, then hit resume and it finished it, weird behaviour from Impulse acting as if no download going on when it actually was.

Showed up in Impulse and is now downloaded.  Thank you very much. 

Google Chrome has a lot of issues, many controls are rendered using Classic and the titlebar isn't exactly that nice either.

I can't get it to show in Impulse. I restarted it and everything

PurrBall: I have a feeling google chrome will always have classic controls.  Thats simply how they designed it.

As for the titlebar, thats something we are looking into.  Please note that the titlebar will be skinned by google chrome on XP and so will not match the WB skin.

EDIT: For some reason it is now picking up OS themed controls on Vista.  Not sure whats going on with that yet.

Google Chrome, great, another borked, unskinnable, useless browser.. IE FTW

Anyway, on topic, The maxed breadcrumb bar buttons are still one pixel lower than restored windows. That is if you have actually skinned Split and split dropdown buttons. Not sure how it looks if you dont skin them and the toolbar button is used instead.

Skinned.. they're still one pixel off. (lower) when Maxed.

The updates don't show up as available when I open Impulse...sorry guys! It does say Impulse updated.

I have 6.29 [rc] . 158

is it that ?

No, Zu....not showing any Betas.

Updates as follows

WB is 6.29.[rc].157

SKS6 is 6.29[b].044

both are only available if you have pre-release checked - the which both are a beta release update.

Solved the problem. By clicking on the stardock orb and selecting show pre-release versions.

Yet another ID 10 T problem solved.

I was wrong ...

WB is 6.29[rc].158

about cleartype:

no more cleartype in right click menu even if opaque

cleartype seems enables in start menu depending of level of opacity

can't get cleartype in explorer, i.e part where are all icons & "explorer background",
when it's not a 100% opaque theme.

after install it is windownlinds 6.3 (b105)

in the about tab

It's not a feed back on 6.30 but on 6.20 and could someone from Stardock have a look over https://forums.wincustomize.com/314082/page/4/#1858364

Same here...still misaligned...especially if the last breadcrumb is the last available folder in the line...its so low that the whole button isnt even shown(cutoff on bottom...even tho the button has blank space around it)

Also...Maxxed windows start off using glass listview headers but if you mouse into them they switch to normal opaque listview headers...which if maxxed windows cant use translucency,the opaque ones are the ones it should already be using.(the trans ones go dark)

Before the update maxxed windows just used the trans ones(which looked funny because of the dark background),and would switch to the opaque ones if you re-applied the skin with the window already opened...then switch back if you closed and re-opened the window.

I see some things headed in the right direction tho...adding the image dimensions to SKS is a good thing...any chance we can have it reflect the individual state size rather than overall image total?...its making me do math...in my head...not really something you want me doing.

Sometimes that button is the Toolbar button, not the split.... unfortunately if you make it match the split and split dropdown... its too small when utilized in IE

I noticed that some stuff was just plain not showing up with WB in addition to the classic stuff.  When I use Aero it uses the Windows stuff, not classic.

Just tried it on 64-bit and all is working fine, address bar is now working as it should. I am however getting menu problems when right clicking or just a general dropdown menu. Sometimes the text is garbled and sometimes cleartype is not working on the fonts.

Heres an example:

IE8 has its own skinning issues.

Would be cool to get an answer ...
