Halloween Desktop animations in XP not working
We're on it
Saturday, October 18, 2008 by Shirley | Discussion: MyColors
For anyone having touble with this skin not showing the animation on Windows XP: There is a bug with WindowBlinds where if you have it and MyColors installed the animation will not appear. This has been fixed internally and an update should be put out for WindowBlinds early next week through Impulse.

I don't use Impulse.....I use SDC. Will this update be available for SDC also? Thank you.

Did that update go up? If so it didn't take on my XP pro 32 bit... I just got impulse and updated all that I have... I'm an object desktop owner...

Yes the windowblinds update has already gone up. I don't know of a way to update through Stardock central but if you can use Impulse, there should be a windowblinds update that now says Version: 6.30.100. This is the one that 'correctly' shows the skeleton start bar animation on XP.
At any rate if you don't see the update I would contact support and reference said version number above.

Thanx Death... Mine seems to be showing 6.30(rc).169 this is on Impulse... since u referenced 6.30.100 I must be up... but is there a pref that needs to be set or dialed in cause there is no animation???

No prefs or settings needed on this end, it just started working after I installed the update through Impulse, as it hadn't before. Strange. You've emailed Stardock right? www.stardock.com/support They're usually pretty good about solving problems.
