WindowBlinds 6 Beta Feedback
Wednesday, August 1, 2007 by Neil Banfield | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Please post all feedback about the WindowBlinds 6 beta on this thread.
Note that the beta is for 32 bit XP and Vista systems only. Please do not post about it not working on 64 bit XP/Vista. Please continue to use WB 5.51 on those platforms.
This beta is for Object Desktop customers ONLY. Standalone WindowBlinds 5 owners will not be able to activate this build.
Please note that you must have Stardock Central 2.46 Build 154 or later to install the WindowBlinds 6 betas. If you try and use older versions, it'll eventually timeout and give you an error about an invalid URL.
If you have problems with it running at all, please uninstall WB6, reboot and then try reinstalling WB6 again.

Back again. I still am unable to load WB6. Yes, I have the correct build of SDC, uninstalled WB5 prior to attempting to install WB6, but the installation fails each time I try. Error message is "unable to archive WBG ... do you wish to continue with installation". The installation of WB6 gets down to very last extraction phase and stops at 98% complete. Final message is that installation failed. No kidding 
When I re-install WB5 I have all the new skins that are intended for WB6. There are some nice new skins. The one called Moulton has promise, great colors, but needs some clean-up. Looks like someone took a dump on the Start Menu.
If anyone has some concrete advice I sure am open to suggestion.

Bugs: Back button in Aero wizards is white (when not defined at least), and when the information bar appears in Windows Explorer, the close button is corrupt.

I've tried a second time and the install webt great. When I RIGHT CLIKC on the desktop Explorer.exe crashes. When I RIGHT CLICK in IE6 it automatically closes. When I unload WB^ and RIGHT CLICK on desktop and IE6 all is fine. Anyone else with this problem?
I love the new WB6. Just wish I could use it. Finally had to go back to WB5. I guess I'll have to wait for the full release.

Obviously, you're working on this, Neil, and I appreciate your efforts. Thank you.
With the .023 update, the SKS menu is completely unskinned, while the desktop secondary context menu is still partially skinned:
Again, these menus skinned flawlessly in 5.49. Hope you can zero in on this. I'm loving the menu trans on skinned menus.

There is an option in the Sidebar Edit that says double sidebar. When I try to apply that nothing happens. I noticed this last Beta update must have made some changes as the picture changed but it still won't change it for me.

I guess what it is called is two side not double side.

Had the exact same thing happen to me, but after the initial hiccups, it seems to work great now
I'm loving all the new customize options.
And I gotta say that the start menu on Molten is absolutely amazing, it took me somewhat by surprise, and I freaked the cat out lol

A pretty weird install...it asks if you want to uninstall WB 5, and when you click yes it does but it asks you to reboot, but continues with the install of WB 6. If you don't reboot after you uninstalled WB 5, you will have problems.

I have installed WB6 on a machine which has never had WB on it before to get a nice clean install. Had no problems with the installation or with the update...
The only issue I have is with the Diamond toolbar which does not display properly on my machine in Windows Explorer
The back, forward and stop button are not seperated properly. The toolbars for both Leo and Molten are both fine though...
Sorry, forgot to mention - this is running on Win XP

Everything is working fine on my XP Lappy. I love the new skins Diamond, Leo and Molten if I am correct, it is just those three. I only lost Vector Cell, got it on backup though.
WB6 did try to install while I was rebooting from WB5 uninstall, but was able to cancel The install in time. So no WB6 install problems.
Thanks for the hard work!
