I'm only playing with on XP but the new recolour WB system is a great improvement on the old way

Been troubleshooting a bit with Zu, but still no go....

Interesting that no one mention that the window can now be resized.![]()

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the blinds appear to apply faster? I also noticed that this version fixed the missing start menu Dragon animation on the Dragon Windowblind.

Interesting that no one mention that the window can now be resized.How did you get it to resize? I have to have my screen resolution at 600x800 because of bad eye sight. And it cuts of the top portion of WB. Wish I could resize it. ( And it still has the old interface. Have Windows XP How do you chang to the new interface???
Either press the button at the top right of the old UI, or click the start menu item with BETA 2 in the name.
Or run SevenConfig.exe directly from the WB dir.
