WB5 and WB5 Skins
Start Menu issues
Sunday, February 19, 2006 by MrBurly | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Start Menu flickers and mouseover works intermittantly with WB5 skins,
Dont have this trouble with WB4 skins,Consequently i find myself avoiding new skins.
Is WB4 still available?, can i run both together (and i dont mean at the same time!)
Any help greatly appreciated

Ok, I too have a question. would WB5 work with PC's having only built in video card? i'm about to try it on my pc to see how it works but im afraid my built-in video card doesn't support it... or does it? please, any reply would be appreciated. thanks a lot and Kudos to all the skinners!

THIS IS DIRECTED TO #2 yes it will work with on board graphics some WB5 skins [ie.most vista skins] will not work because of the per-pix alpha-blending i have onboad graghics [SG3 pro] myself and it works good on my machine except for the skins mentioned above also with the trial version any skins YOU DOWNLOAD THAT SAY WB5 ONLY will also probaly not work because you have the trial version [it comes with a couple WB5 skins that will work because they come with it to give you a taste 
]hope this info helps make sure you do upgrade your OB graphics to the newest ones it will help

Mr greg2 - PUNCTUATION! I almost lost my breath reading that post!
WB5 is all about per pixel alpha blending. If your onboard graphics supports that, whether onboard or on a card, then it'll work. It is also possible that getting the current release of the graphics drivers would help too, so check your board manufacturer.
Alternatively, mug a granny and buy a big new graphics card. (erm... that's a joke btw)
