WB 5 sucks

Rip Off

from Stardock Forums

WB 5 requires an Update Patch immediately . Plenty of heavy crap going on . Sucks the Processer hard . Does not comply much with older skins . All for what ?


 


We WB fans are disappointed . This WB 5 isn't any better than WB 4.5 or 4.6


 These versions are real smooth and good .


Do something quick without announcing a New version of the same .

I would agree with it going at 4% Cpu, usually with 4.5 and .6 it would go down to 0% every few seconds, but were are still satisfied with the transparency and other features! Fan mail...

WB5 uses little cpu and should work with older WB skins.  So I have no idea what your problems are.

Could you provide more information please.

On my pc, the processor stays at 0-1% most of the time. When I was using 4.6, it usually was around 2%, so WB5 has actually decreased in system resources for me.

We WB fans are disappointed


This WB fan has no problems and is very pleased with WB5.
Running WB5, with a full WB5 skin, IconPackager, IconX, ObjectDock Plus, CursorXP Plus, Right Click, DesktopX, 5 widgets running at startup, Rainlender, BeatNik, with an animated skin, Antivirus real time, MS Antispyware and Pest Patrol, purchased version, both also running real time. CPU usage 5-7%, Intel Celeron 2.4 gig. This usage is with DX fishy widget swimming around my desktop.

What OS are you running, WB5 requires Windows XP.
The info Neil ( WB developer ) wants to see is system info from WB config, copy and paste it, and should also give your computer specs- OS, processor, ram and video card if any, will be helpful info.

I agree with the majority of replies to this thread. WB5 is excellent, and who are you to complain if you haven't even payed for the software?!

Ease up folks....they may not be a paying customer, doesn't mean they are using pirated material. Could be using the trial software.

Forums are meant to help people...just like you guys helped me...let's help this person.

Heavy Crap? Details?

Sucks processor hard? Won't go there...0%-1% with animations and per-pixel.

Compliance to older skins? Tried all that come with 4.6, and all that come with 5, NO problems. Need details to help...
