WB7 few minor issues/question
Monday, December 28, 2009 by Bebi Bulma | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Nothing serious, but since I've updated to WB7 (7.01 build 81 x86 on XP) when I go to install a new skin and try to scroll through the dialog with the mouse wheel, it instead scrolls the list of skins.
Also, is there a way to disable the tooltip when a new skin has been installed? Perhaps in a future build.

The scrolling issue has been resolved for the next build.
Is the tooltip causing you a problem?
If you are comfortable with using RegEdit you can stop it by adding a registry key.
The key is called NoInstallNotify and is located at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\wb5.ini\WBLiteFX
The value should be set to 1. This will not exist so you need to create it as a string value.

One minor annoyance I've had with WB7 is that the right-click menu on skins is gone, causing me to move my hand more 
Could we please have it back?

As it happens right click menus were added to the WB and DS3 UIs recently and should show up in the next set of builds.

Sorry if I squeeze myself into this discussion.... but it seems to be quickly answered by Neil, so.... why not another small annoyance?
I recently upgraded to WB7 from 6. Where should I look for the wallpaper changing functionalities that were readily available in WB6? I cannot seem to find them....

You can change the wallpapers from the wallpapers tab in WB7 (bottom of the screen).
The only missing functionality from that vs WB6 is the random wallpaper changer. This is due to lack of UI support for it right now (the base functionality is still integrated into WB itself)

Neil, you're telling me it's just a matter of a small combo list being added in some corner of the interface for wallpapers? Good news and bad news at the same time..... Why leave it out when so little an effort was required?
Could you please tell what is the timeframe to have the automatic wallpaper change re-enabled (the randomness is not that crucial - even if it changed wallpapers in the list in alphabetical order it would be OK- it's the automatic change that matters)?
Next upgrade or which one after that? And will it take 2 weeks... or 2 months... or whatever?
Thanks for the attention,
