WindowBlinds 7 Beta 2 bug reports
Wednesday, August 5, 2009 by ZubaZ | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Beta 2 of WindowBlinds has been released. This build focuses on UI enhancements.
The previous UI is still the default from Impulse. You can access the new (amazing!) UI from your start menu, or from the button in the old UI (screenshot)
Post anything that looks odd. Make sure to give us your WB system information from the WB app, your OS (including 32 or 64 bit), and if it's hard to explain (or even if it isn't) a screenshot.

Complete with some new skins and hopefully the bugs reported here fixed.
Just as you said the latest update did fix the problem. Thank you Neil. I love the new Aero Skinnable skins.

Beta 3 : Worst build I had for a while... Half of Windows is classic (for exampe menubars and menus - still after 2 Reboots) and even in the wb config I have no titlebar. And the worst of all : After 1 minute WB switches to classic without any interference by myself. I don't even have WB config open aby more !

Sorry Neil, silly me... I thought it could be a good idea to install Mycolors also as it showed a pretty recent date. Figured that combination doesn't work so good. So I unsinstalled it, WB7 uninstalled with it, restarted, installed WB 7, restarted and now everything works as announced.

Did you install mycolors before or after WB?
Reply #108 Friday, October 23, 2009 1:52 PM
Did you install both and then reboot, or reboot after WB and then install mycolors?

I installed the latest update, and suddenly I can't get any windows to fully maximize on my secondary screen! ![]()

Anyone know if the ToolbarIcon & Animation problem has been fixed yet? Never got a reply on this. After trying to apply them the revert back to the defaults. Haven't upgraded or renewed since this problem.

I had the same experience as c242. I installed the update to Windowblinds 7 first, then rebooted, then installed the update for MyColors and rebooted.

I have a feeling that was addressed.

Quoting wrigleys, reply 99still having problems where windows explorer keeps crashing on me...help me please?
Which OS are you using and what are you doing when it crashes?

What skin and what OS are you using?
Using W7 Build 7100.
This happened with these skins: Tinted (by me; not yet released), Corporate, Diamond, and Altitude. I used the W7 styles on each skin.

I have been unable to reproduce any maximizing issues with the latest WB build.
Could you post a screenshot showing what is happening please as it may give me a clue as to what is going on. I will say build 7100 is somewhat old which may be a factor.
Reply #118 Friday, October 23, 2009 3:26 PM
I agree, that may be my whole problem. If so, it'll be solved after I get the full version of W7 next week.
Here's a screeny. Note that the window on the left (main) screen maximizes fine. The window on the right, well, that's as good as it gets.

great update. I am still getting the same problem with some skins not loading in the new interface, they are giving me the there is no .uis file are you sure it is a windowblinds skin. Again loading the old WB6 interface and the skins load perfectly.

I did a little more playing around with it, and now I realize the new colored Aero styles aren't working on the window frame.

Absolutley Love the New Aero skinning on the WB7 update, BTW: how many new skins were in the update, my mate reckons he got eight, i got seven. He said there was an "Aero Midnight" skin, but it wasnt in my update.
But WB7 is far more nicer now.
cheers
