WindowBlinds 7.4 Update
Wednesday, April 11, 2012 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
A new update for WindowBlinds 7 has been released today. WindowBlinds lets you change the look and feel of the Windows user interface with thousands of skins that are available from sites like WinCustomize.com.
This is a maintenance update with various fixes included:
- Adds support for transparent scrollbars on Windows 7 Explorer windows
- Updates for start button and high dpi
- Fix for IE sizing issue
- Fix for Opera repaint issue on scrolling
- Fix for blurred borders on large bordered skins
- Fix for UltraMon secondary taskbar
- Directory Opus fixes -SyncBack / SyncBackSE / SyncBack Pro fixes. There are still some menu text colour issues with some skins, but thats skin-specific.
- KVIrc - Black scrollbar resolved along with some other issues linked to the QT framework. Unfortunately apps using this framework may end up with strange mouseover issues where the previous skin images are used on mouseovers for a while. This is not a WindowBlinds issue. It also has menu text colour issues. The QT changes should impact any other app that also uses this framework such as the TeamSpeak 3 client.
- Total Commander - The black menu bar items are now resolved
- Photoshop Elements - tweaks to sort out a cosmetic non maximized window issue and seperators in their menus painting light when the rest is dark.
- Yahoo Messenger - The correct theme is now used on the frames
- uTorrent- An issue with buttons not positioning correctly when the add link window is expanded / collapsed has been worked around
- Alcohol 120% - WB enforces strict Vista rules on the menus now
- Automatic detection of custom menus that use the new menu theme parts added and strict Vista menu rules are forced on the application when this is detected.
- The mouseover animated flash now applies to readonly combo boxes as well as buttons and toolbars.
- IE9 should now support the use of the Web scrollbar sections where defined
- IE9 groupboxes in webpages tweaked to match the style closer
- CCCleaner - Small tweak to alter margins on header bars to prevent text on headers ending ... when there was enough space.
- Thunderbird - Small tweak to add a line gap between the attached files list border and the selection box of any files attached.
- IE9 on Vista - The second apply of a UIS2/PerPixel theme will no longer cause the tabs to vanish if IE is closed and reopened.
- Keyboard selected items in explorer will now show with a selection image for all themes.
- Menu padding settings no longer impact the menu bar itself.
- Activation will request elevation (if required) -Some tweaks to the default themes included with WB
You can download WindowBlinds 7.4 from the Stardock download page (http://download.stardock.com) or via the beta of Stardock Central (https://www.stardock.com/products/stardockcentral).

All you gotta do is dangle a cool one in front of them the same way you dangle a tennis ball for a dog.
You must have forgotten that they need to be sitting next to the out house also.
Nice update BTW.

Yup. Just in case the unthinkable happens and the outhouse springs a leak he needs to be ready with the bucket. Waste not want not.

Mine did not update properly through Stardock Central. I had to go to the Stardock Store and download it. Then it installed properly to version 7.4.

Worked for me through Stardock Central app and I'm using Windows 7 x64
Reply #15 Friday, April 13, 2012 12:16 PM
but error message "could not install silently, please go to download folder and install manually", then prompt to reboot. After that I did a clean install and that it was. May be my fault not to unload WindowBlinds before starting Stardock Central?Reply #16 Friday, April 13, 2012 12:34 PM
This shouldn't be necessary. Perhaps the planets were in such an alignment at the time that it prevented it from working properly the first time. That's what I'm blaming it on, anyway.
It's up and running now, though?

Perhaps I will wait for a full moon next time.

i hope this fixes the right click menu from being on the left instead of the right side every time i enable a blind.

I got that 'error' message, too, but just clicked OK & it installed without a hitch. I don't think it was an 'error' message - rather just a 'message'.

No errors, although I did hear a couple of explosions It just said it was still version 7.3 (Vista 32bit) The Stardock Store version took much longer to install but it at least upgraded me to 7.4.
