Quoting Wizard1956, reply 13

Quoting PAIN-KILLER, reply 6WB8 is only $9.99 But it only works on two OSes. It appears that $19.99 as a pricepoint is gone, replaced with $9.99 to $4.99 

I'd like to ask, that with most if not all ODNT apps selling for 1/2 to 1/4 the previous stand alone cost, will there be a price reduction in order for ODNT, both new and renewal? Currently, it is almost certainly cheaper to just buy what you need or can use with your OS than to purchase the package deal.

Good question. I hope to see an answer to this one.  ;)

I think I may have found a bug in the WB8 Configuration UI. If I right click on a skin preview and select "Edit Style" or open the menu in the upper left and select "Edit in Skinstudio" nothing happens - I have to open SS manually.

Running WB8 Final on Windows 8 Pro.

What version of WB?  What version of SKS?

Thanks.

That has been happening for ages, you need to reinstall SKS every time you do a WB update.

It seems that decor 8 doesn't work with WindowBlinds 8.0 Is there a work around or update to fix it?

Thanks

Hey Guys, I have a question--I'm thinking about getting a new laptop and of course it will have Win 8 on it. What Stardock programs will still work on it? Particularly Windowblinds, Object Dock, and Fences.

Reply #57 from Stardock Forums Top

Currently WindowBlinds, ModernMix, DeskScapes, Start8, Decor8, Fences 2, Tiles, IconPackager, IconDeveloper, WindowFX 5 are designed to work with Windows 8. ObjectDock and Multiplicity are also supported.

Cool! How about CursorFX?

Don't want to lose my faves. Wish I could find a laptop that has what I want with Win 7 on it..... :annoyed:

CursorFX should work but isn't "certified" yet.
