latest version is not always beta do you have impulse set to show pre releases?

try opening note pad maxed then open WB configuration - if it's readable, click the system info tab - then click the copy text button paste that info here

an email to support with a request should get it for you - they don't always have time to stop by the forums, but they check all their emails

I don't think it will revert back to a 'modified classic' theme - one in which you changed colors and stuff around - the only way to have gotten that back is if you had saved it.

[quote]There appears to be no .uis file in this skin[/quote] usually indicates one of 2 things - the .wba is actually a .zip with other things inside in addition to the .wba (in which case change the extension from .wba to .zip or just unzip in place and see what's inside) - bad download - if you used a download manager, don't

[quote who="MyBlindSpot" reply="1" id="1865630"]My question is now rather moot. I downleaded the trial version of WB, only to find that it doesn't inherit my preferred colour scheme. So, as it uses a light background, it is unusable by me. SHame. I guess the search for a solution to my problem continues ... [/quote] WB uses the color scheme set in each individual skin when created using SkinStudio. So it may still be a possibility..

[quote]Will Bootskin fail without it.[/quote] deleted it will make your system boot normally ( I think - not sure on Vista... since bootkin wasn't made for vista and doesn't work on Vista... )

[quote]My version of Vista is Home Premium [/quote] Bootskin stopped being supported back in 2004 - Bootskin does not work on Vista you can always make a copy of vidstub for back up if you want - then delete the "\Windows\System32\Drivers\vidstub.sys" it's been a while, but I believe all it does is tell XP not to use the default boot but to use the one directed by bootskin

[quote]I believe there is now a policy in place which allows you to request your serial #s at support.stardock.com and they come with links to "zipped" versions which do not have the "MyColors" requirement. I know this is true for Gloss Burgundy because I've got it that way myself.[/quote] normal go to support page and enter email and wait? cool... I'll have to try that later when I get home

I actually opened up Impulse yesterday - haven't run it since June this time I just let it be for a couple of hours and it actually finally quit downloading latest info and let me click on various tabs to see what's there - got to see community, friends list, chat I even got it to update the free odnt themes (didn't really need it but I wanted to see what would happen) that 18mb update took less time than downloading latest info I'm kinda hoping Phase 2 will be somewha

[quote]some overlap between Theme Manager, Windows Blinds and My Colors.[/quote] WindowBlinds skins windows (created with SkinStudio) MyColors basically only applies MyColors themes (MyColors is for the 'click and go crowd) - There are some free MyColors and more paid MyColors - MyColors generally comes with OEM versions of the apps needed to run the various 'parts' Theme Manager will apply 'parts' or themes - either those created as .suite or those you design and 'sav
