Before anyone asks, I should point out that this build does not support Windows 7.
There is a SKS 6.4 beta to go with it which exposes the new features.

Was working fine until I rebooted, seems to disable DWM and force basic mode for me. Unloading and reloading Windowblinds does the trick but I have to do it every single time I reboot my PC.

Are there any skins that show off these new features? Or do I just have to enable them in a preference file somewhere?

1°) Cool to see that lots of things are done for XP ... 
2°) not speaking about features but updating: if by any chance, WindowBlinds is running when you update, at he next boot there's systematicly an error message that "WindowBlinds is missing a core dll file WBLIN.DLL. Please reinstall WindowBlinds"
As Impulse is not proposing to download and archive the new version (like SDC did), the only way to do it, is to go back to re install previous version, then to don't get the same error message, unable WindowBlinds to start with Windows by activating "Windows Classic", then reboot, then update, then reboot again ... With the time needed by Impulse to load and verify everything's, the update has taken about ½ hour for me . Should it be possible to fix that ? (it's not a trouble relative to the last version, it's something which came with Impulse ...)
3°) SDC gave the opportunity to "Prompt to select where Start Menu shortcuts are created" . It would be a minimum that impulse would do the same ... (not specific to WindowBlinds but to any of apps)

Windows 7 just barely entered the beta stage, don't expect anything for months.

Cool to see that 24 h later (or not far), someone from Stardock had taken care of what i reported ...
Reply #19 Friday, January 16, 2009 4:32 PM
Having said that I would like to point out that 1) No response does not mean no action; 2) Finding an anomaly may be easy, fixing it might not be; 3) an anomaly on one user's system does not always mean it will happen on any other system.
You may trust that Stardock follows up on all reports so that issues are addressed.

Perhaps, but an answer may let know the one who reported something, he did not blow up in the air
