here are the only 2 I get from StarDock site

WindowBlinds 7 [v7.20.036] (61.0 MB)  Note can we all so get the full version and build info there please ok full version part in WB

WindowBlinds720d_beta_setup.exe [v7.20d]

I downloaded it from the Stardock link and let the husband install it on his PC. After the first reboot, the skin looked weird with missing patches and the wallpaper was just black, but a second reboot cleared everything up and it seems to be working just fine.

ok I did the update (WindowBlinds720d_beta_setup.exe [v7.20d]) from the StarDock site
WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 7.3 (build 306 - Windows 7 Edition) - 64 bit OS  that's weird  that 720d beta [v7.20d] is 7.3 (build 306

as for it changing the skin It did not do that so that is good to see

as for the text well it fixed it SOME WHAT ?  it's not invisible any more EX. like when I RC to rename something it is now just some what faded out but I can see it and read it ... and now I can get the check removed form the Explorer Background from WB interface ...   ya ya that's damn grate..

As for the others I don't know what to do so I can;t say one way or the other

• Improved compatibility with DisplayFusion
• DirectoryOpus tweaks
• UIS0 Explorer background fix
• Improved forward compatibility
• Various tweaks and fixes

 so I say use the site to update well it worked on this end anyway

EDIT ok I just installed a new WB skin (Prussian Slate) linked to give props

to report on the text well it is now Crystal clear even when RC to rename ..

It might of had something to do with the text being faded after the update do to I had this WB (Tinted) (linked to give props) applied as it was made to have the Explorer Background on, on default and that could of had  some effect on the text .. before update text was invisible after it was just faded... with (Prussian Slate) applied works as it should 

OK, guys. Strange as it may sound, I updated via Impulse, yesterday, BEFORE reading this thread. I changed skins before rebooting, no problems. On reboot, still no problems.

Must be luck of the redneck. 

OK, Wiz made me change skins and reboot again. Still no problems.

I downloaded the update from the Stardock store and it totally messed up my WindowBlinds. Reverted to classic, setting it to Aero messed up the fonts, setting it back to my current skin reverted back to classic. Rebooting did not fix it and WB no longer would load at startup. Did a system restore to get rid of it. Obviously there is a problem with this update. Will wait for a newer version! [e digicons]:')[/e]

I thinking waiting until word from ID that the problems have been fixed is the correct thing to do.  Mistakes do happen, unfortunately. 

update

I logged-off my PC then came back. when logging back on WB did not work and was not in the System Tray

had to click on desktop shortcut to open WB's then apply Windows Aero then reapply this skin I had. note it does it every time I log-off..

WB works just fine if I restart my PC

here are 2 screen shots one is LOG-OFF the other is RESTART

RESTART

oh and when I did the log-off I checked WB's setting to see if start with Windows got unchecked but could not find said setting... I don't know if it was removed in an earlier update or this one... and not here for restart either... 

@ RedneckDude

how did you get your Monitors to show up with their names???

oh and Nice cheap but good graphic card I got the same one well if yours is 1GB ram too...

I downloaded and installed also from the Stardock Store, big mistake for sure!

Is there a changelog we can view? I wonder about this:

"Improved compatibility with DisplayFusion"

What was changed?

DC, if you'll go to the website of your monitor maker, and get drivers for your monitors, install them, you'll see the info in WB Config. Also, you'll get updates via windows update for your monitors too.

Yes, the 1 gig graphics card. Seems to do what I need it to very well.

You're using generic microsoft monitor drivers.   

If your ODNT subscription is current (not expired), then you certainly can use Impulse to download and install all updates of the pertinent software.

The store should be used for expired subs or those who for whatever reason do not wish to use Impulse. 

Update mucked up windowblinds,uninstalled via  impulse,tried to reinstall with download from wincustomize and would not install,tried to install via impulse an wont do it,gave up  after 20 min of impulse saying installing .

Does not make a difference if using Impulse or the store. This version of WB simply is not ready for prime time. It really messed up my system
