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.

WebGizmos: The Aero skins are showing on your XP machine?

If so, do you see all their substyles too?

They were only showing when I reverted back to a version (76.30.099_09.28.2009) of WB's where the toolbaricons and animations were working. The Aero skins were listed but nothing actually showing in the preview. I did however see the textures when I opened them in SkinStudio to see what they were...but I don't recall seeing any substyles in the previews in WB.

I just installed the newest version of WB's to see if anything was fixed...which wasn't...and they no longer showed. Any idea why the toolbaricons and animations still aren't working? The toolbaricons seem to get stuck on the ones in the Subscriber skin "Space" and no matter what I change to they stay the same. Rebooting doesn't change anything either.

After applying the new Fire suite through theme manager succesfully and then opening Windowblinds it shows up in there like this:

 

 

Where it says Fear Factory in the upper part of the preview that name will change depending on the last blind you clicked on before this one. If you hit Apply Changes it does nothing. I have yet to try extracting the blind from the suite file and then reinstalling it that way but just thought I'd pass this along.

What happens if you use the rebuild skin list option from the skins menu?

I noticed that skin previews use the incorrect font on the Explorer command bar- looks like MS Sans Serif rather than Segoe UI.  Picky, I know, but looks extremely out of place

 

Another thing: the Updates icon that appears on the start menu Shut Down button never seems to get padded.

 

Just got this upon closing wbconfig-

Just reverted back to the older version again and the aero skins are listed...and when I click on each one the different versions/substyles are there but none of them show in the preview.

Ok I've erased my previous to edit as suc: I had the same problem concerning the Fire Suite. After applying the theme it installed the IconPackager and Gadgets as well as the WIndowsBlind which was not installed when I nstalled the theme.

The problem is the taskbar remains the same but with the Fire icon. It's not skinned as in the preview. Is that beacuse I am running Win 7?

Unfortunately we cannot hide the skins from an earlier version of WB, but they will not show with WB7.

  this looks particularly bad.

 

also the X (close) icon that shows up after a search string is entered in start menu search area is squished on the skins i looked at. (not sure if this has been mentioned) but also looks bad.

I believe the position of the updates icon may not be under the control of the skin or WindowBlinds.

well, certainly makes for a good reason to update eh ?  

I do hope you can somehow get it under control, its a pretty blatent looking bug when showing.

Fingers crossed.

Neil...No problem there really...I just deleted them for now. My biggest and only problem is with the toolbaricons and animations not working, WB doesn't use the ones I choose...and the ones it chooses just get stuck no matter what skin I use. This is why I reverted back to a previous version and that's when I noticed the Aero skins.

So any help with this toolbaricon/animation problem would be great! Until that gets fixed I'm stuck using the old interface.

WB Gap

Issues with non-english versions again. Though that might be the new aero-skins.

Note the gap arround the left hand side of the shut down button.

Anyone know if my problem above has been fixed in this latest update?
