can't install new skins and the german language support is incomplete
Tuesday, August 21, 2007 by RikeBS | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Everytime I try to install a new skin, I can see it in the konfiguration window but if I choose it I have a classic windowstyle desktop with no windowframes and no startmenu.
I use the newest version of wb 5.5 enhanced on a aktuell windows vista system. Also the german language support, i am german - sorry for my bad english - is not complet parts are german other are english.
Thanks for help

Die Übersetzungen sind von Usern gemacht und scheinbar mag ausser mir keiner WB übersetzen und ich hab im Moment 0 Zeit.

hallo c242,
früher noch zu MacOS Classic Zeiten habe ich unter anderem Kaleidoscope ein Programm mit ähnlicher Funktion wie WindowBlinds nur halt fürs alte MacOS ins deutsche Übersetzt. Nervig war dabei eigentlich nur die History.
Naja damals war auf meinem Desktop noch jeder einzelne Pixel von mir. Seit meinem Wechsel auf Windows XP reichte mir der freie Patch. Aber was es derzeit an Styles für Vista gibt überzeugt mich so gar nicht. Aber bislang erlebe ich WindowBlinds auch nicht als wirklich den Treffer
.
Also bislang nahm ich unter WinXP ein mir genehmen Style änderte die Icons meist mit TuneUp und ging mit nem ResEditor in manches Programm um mir ungenehme Icons auszutauschen.
In Mac Zeiten modete ich alles selber einschließlich der System- und Finderdatei kein Programm welches bei mir längerfristig lief blieb verschont lach.
Vielleicht sollte ich mal wieder anfangen
.
Werde mir nun einmal Deine Seite anschauen.
For all English-Speakers my problem is till now not solved

six days ago I asked here for help, at the same day I wrote a email to stardock support with the same questions. And till now I noticed no reaction by stardock. 48 hours reaction time should be somehow faster!!!!!!!!!

did you get the autoreply to your email?
if not check, check your spam folder
the autoreply should have 'followup if no response' instructions, so your followup won't drag you back to the end of the line.
I believe you can also log into helpserve and check your ticket.
bear in mind, these are basically user helping user forums -
from the Support Page:
Still need help?
Email Stardock Technical Support (please give up to 48 business hours for a response)
General Technical Support Inquiries (please give up to 48 business hours for a response)
Stardock Support Forums (get help from other users - this is the fastest way!)
Support comes through whenever they can.

English-Speaker here (& google really sucks on translating into english)
have your tried uninstalling, rebooting and then downloading, installing with SDC (Stardock Central Browser/downloader/installer/updater/etc)?
I have noticed in postings that the standalone has different file dates than the one downloaded installed via SDC

oh i do not use google to translate. I use my brain.
Installing WB with SDC makes no difference. But now I know what the problem is. If I run WB as administrator it is able to install the skins correct and so I am able to use the skins.
Thanks
