Problem with latest Windowblinds 7 beta

Friday, October 30, 2009 by Nimbin | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I have been having this problem since the very first beta of windowblinds 7 but was able to get around it by using

the old interface to load some skins. But ever since the latest update i have no access to the old interface as both

wbconfig.exe and sevenconfig.exe load the new interface. every single one of my master skins and subscriber skins as

well as a small number of other skins return the error message "There appears to be no .uis file in this skin. Are

you sure it is a windowblinds skin". Now i am 100% sure they are windowblinds skins because they all loaded

perfectly with the old windowblinds 6 interface but now they don't work. I have included a screenshot. Hopefully

there is a fix for this because if not i have wasted a lot of money on skins i can no longer use or i will be forced

to revert back to windowblinds 6 which kind of defeats the purpose.

 

 

 

 

I really hope there is a fix for this because i dread having to go back to WB6. Thanks in advance

 

 

PS: I have tried uninstalling windowblinds and removing all trace of it, then using impulse to download and install the latest beta version fresh. But i still get the same error message.

I believe this can be disabled inside Impulse if you wish.

thank you, I'll look into that option.

on the update issue, oh, you probably know best.

Regarding scrollbars in WB7, do you mean there is no scrollbar in the preview, or in the lists themselves?

in the preview screen, and again might I mention that I do like WB7, very nice.

It seems that the more skins you have, the smaller the scrollbar.

yep, sure seems that way

Did you used to double click the WBA files, or use the add skin option in the old WB6 UI?

 

 

Neil: I tried both ways, but i still get the same error message.

You do not need the click on the scrollbar bit to move the window. Clicking above the scrollbar will let you drag the list, or clicking in line with it will let you scroll in the same way you can if you had clicked on the visible scrollbar.

Which works quite well but if you're at the begining of the list and want to go to the end, it's not that useful. What would be great is to have the ability to manually add tabs so the user could split their skins /dreams into smaller groups.

Hello all, im having the same problem. But im not finding the .wba file in the folder?

I bought windowblinds for the MOLTEN Skin, but i lose my start menu selections when i mouse over them just as
