This issue has popped up 3 times for me since I posted Dave Marquis' response to my initial bug report (once since today's update). Though it doesn't seem to happen quite as much as previously....It [i]does[/i] still happen. Meaning, in my opinion, this is a WB issue as opposed to an install issue or registry issue.
[quote]Nice work folks:) IMO a very helpful group of folks pulling together.[/quote] Indeed. All is working quite well. Haven't run across an unskinned program window or explorer window since using the suggestion from Dave Marquis. ;)
For anyone with this issue: I got a response on my ticket. So far the following has worked - [U]From Dave Marquis[/U]: [I]"I think a total cleaning of WB & registry files may help. First, uninstall WB via Stardock Central. Then run regedit (Win Key + R) type regedit in the Run box and hit enter. Look for and delete the following folders, if found; HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Stardock\WindowBlind
Like an idiot, I did not archive. So I don't have access to the previous build. I'm stuck without WB until this issue is corrected. Unfortunately, no response regarding my submitted ticket [I](ticket ID: BOP-708546)[/I] yet.
[quote] No response yet from eSupport regarding the submitted ticket. Hopefully, it's just because of the weekend. Very likely. I promise they'll get to you.[/quote] Thanks. ;)

[quote] Can you fire up a ticket with us at support@stardock.com? [/quote] I have an open ticket at [I]eSupport[/I] (for some reason it shows up as 2 different tickets) - APK-914022 and BOP-708546 Is there somewhere else I should submit?
[quote]I have submitted a ticket for this type of issue, but it only appears to affect MS Money. The last version that did not seem to affect this program was 6.00, I think! I may well restore an archive. This is for XP SP2.[/quote] Well, here in Vista Home Premium, it's any program window and/or explorer window - completely random. Just now, on system start, Vista's status bar was not skinned. Rebooted and it was. Very odd.
[quote]Same problem under Vista. @UncleSpellbinder & Dizplaced: Report this problem via Stardock Helpserve Don't forget to include DxDiag and system info from WindowBlinds.[/quote] Thanks. I submitted a ticket.
Well, until this issue is fixed, I've unloaded WB as it works roughly 2/3 the time. (:(
[quote]Ididn't know you can run WB with a Windows Graphics Experience score of 1.9. I know at the bottom of the System Info it says at least 2.[/quote] It's never been slow. Very fast, actually. No Aero obviously, but works just fine (until the last update that is).
Ideas, anyone?
I am having the exact same problem after updating to WB 6.02.024. Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 1 Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 1.9 WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.02 (build 74 x86 - Vista Edition) WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC (Generic PnP Monitor) 1 is attached to Intel(R) 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation
Thanks for the suggestion, but I cant get to anywhere to change themes in either as the menus are useless. Once WB 6 is unloaded, all is well with menus. So I could try when WB 6 is unloaded, I suppose. Still, an ODD issue.
I'm aware of that. There was no issue with menus until the latest update of WB 6. Just curious as to if this is a known bug.
Big issue with all menus in nightly builds of Firefox 3 & SeaMonkey 2 with WindowBlinds 6 in Vista Home Premium. When WB 6 is unloaded, menus are normal. Load WB 6 and the menus are as pictured below. Bug?

Vista install went as expected and all works very well - all controls function properly! Great work Stardock team! Ready for SKS 6 ... go go go ! SGT Ditto! <img src="http://images.stardock.com/sd_com/smiles/BigSmile.gif" border=0
It is happening in a lot more places than just Explorer. Indeed. EVERYWHERE, in my case. In any event, I hope an update will be available soon. I. too, hope everyone is doing OK regarding the flooding.
I like it clean, uncluttered and somewhat simple:
If your subscription to Object Desktop is active then you will get all updates until your subscription expires. Thanks for the clarification, Island Dog.
My subscription is good until March, '08. I hope I get the WB6 update.
Atlanta, too.
Never mind......... Found the solution: In SCD, Tools > Settings > Internet. Then, refresh XML Data.
Still no change. WB 6 Shows as if I updated/installed.
Will this cause me issues? As I said, I did not install or update. EDIT: Sorry. Just noticed the "it will fix itself shortly" comment. Tried tools > check for application updates. No change.
