I haven't had WB installed since the upgrade to Windows 10. I made sure I uninstalled before starting the upgrade.

Evidently your uninstall of WB8 before upgrading to Windows 10 did not go well, so you are probably going to have to send an ticket email to https://esupport.stardock.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit  for a fix.

Did that now, thanks. We'll see what they come up with.

I got WB installed after receiving a purge file from SD to get rid of any old shiesse from the previous install (thanks Allen).

 

I has WB, but it's disappointing that even more elements are left unskinned vs WB8 on Windows 8. Looking forward to more development for a complete product!

Search function in the WB config window is missing (or I just haven't found it) I have a LOT of skins and it's a pain to scroll throught the list to find the one I want!

Is there any way to install WB10 to its own WB10 folder but not in the program files folder. In Win7 I was having issues getting WB7 to run properly if it was in the Program Files directory (had something to do with admin issues) worked flawlessly if installed in C:\WB7 so was hoping there was a way to install WB10 to C:\WB10 and not Program Files.

It doesn´t work at all to me, any one with a similar problem?

For me: It acts like it wants to apply, goes to the wait/loading screen but no WB is applied. Win 10 64 bit. Fully updated, latest NVidia drivers

Maybe you all need that purge tool 2of3 used from SD. Mentioned post #253. Could be you already did try it. Thought I would mention in case you didn't see that post as Tim was having the same problems prior to that.

No, he stated that it would not install. For me, I tried 7 different installs under varying conditions, a WB does not get applied. The program itself(the gui) runs fine. .....and trust me, at least 4 times it was as purged as it could get. I even went as far as uninstalling my AV (AVG)first.

Amen to that.

Like to add it has been a little while since the beta. there also has been actually few complaint except for the non skinned parts. I feel confident knowing the work Neil does, these areas are being looked at in and out. If they can be skinned it would be a wonderful thing. Lets all keep our fingers crossed and hope. I'm actually holding back a bit from uploading to see what is the final result with the next beta or final.

What we all have now is still a lot better then nothing. Guess I should say much better then looking at the win10 default. At least for me it is.

I ran the PurgeWB.bat file and reinstalled and the bad Start 10 menu and missing WB tray icon issues have both gone away.  Everything seems to work properly now.

Now, if I can get DeskScapes to function all of the time, all the Stradock programs I use would be working again.

Tim, horizontal doesn't work here. Yes, it has been reported.

WindowBlinds breaks WindowFX ability to apply animations to Skype windows. Wobbly windows works on Skype windows without a WB skin applied. Ceases to work once a WB skin is applied.

Anyone having SKS crashing all the time?

Is the Windowblinds 10 skins folder a registry entry like in previous versions, or is it hardcoded somewhere?

Works for me (except for what I reported) -Windowblinds 10 Sks 10 :sun:

Skinning tip: Right click (desktop and taskbar) are now using the skin defined system colors to skin the background rather than the graphic image. Controls are as follows:

Background = menu

Boarder = button shadow

 

The text mouseover and separators are still graphic based.
