5.51.025 update issues on XP persist with WB6 (5.90)
Thursday, June 21, 2007 by Daiwa | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Favorites menu skinning remains broken in the 6-19-07 version.
MDI buttons are also not painting properly.
Both work fine in 5.49. I was under the impression from a prior reply by Neil concerning the same issues with 5.50 that a fix was planned for the next update (being 5.51).
Also, after installing the update, a number of the font settings in my current skin changed - specifically, the Shadow Offset for 2-3 of the fonts was set to 0 from 1 without my intervention.
Edit 8-1-07 - the menu & MDI button painting issues are identical in the initial WB6 beta (5.90), as I feared they might be.
That's the only real knock I have on the WB6 beta - O/W a great leap forward.

Perhaps, but Neil did ask and I'm hoping whatever the issue is isn't propagated to WB6 - that would most definitely suck since it affects both of my XP rigs.
Cheers, bilbo.

Good Morning All
I have the SAME Problem with Window Blinds 5.51 On my XP machine. I went back to Wb 5.0.
I will not upgrade it to 5.51 until That bug has been addressed.

I know I'm being a bit annoying. If these hadn't skinned flawlessly in 5.49, I'd be more patient. The code that works is sitting there in 5.49; can't it be recovered?

Here's two menus using 5.49:
Here's the same menus using 5.51:
I also noticed something new while doing this. There is a subtle difference in the painting of the "menubar" shown in the SKS snapshots, with 5.51 painting the bar with more contrast than 5.49 does. EDIT - I remember I had made a small gamma adjustment in 5.49 before upgrading to 5.51, which probably accounts for the difference, so please ignore.
Here's the 5.51 SysInfo for the above tested rig:

I'm not having any font issues between the two versions here, at least that I've noticed.
