WindowBlinds 4 - Umm, where is it?
Thursday, January 23, 2003 by BabyPooh | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Okay, maybe everyone is tired of people asking about this, but it's been 11 days since we were told about it and still no WindowBlinds 4. I have been checking Component Manager everyday since Jan. 12th and still nothing. What's going on?
Where is WB4???

Koasati thinks WB4 may be one of those urban legends.............

Oh okay, it wasn't there this morning. I see the 3.90, but it's for XP only it says. I have W2K.

question:
has anyone got the xp shell backgrounds working? I've tried checking explorer backgrounds check boxes and the likes in the settings tab, but without success.
i can see that the beacon skin has them using skin studio, I just cant get them to display

Yup - they work fine here for me. I just checked the box (took me a minute or two to find,) and it works with both the Blackcomb and Beacon (which I'm using now,) which came with it.

I think we're both confused now! 
But I was confused by your original post (read: I didn't read it closely enough and so my mind filled in the blanks on the parts of it I didn't notice!) and because of that, I confused you! YAY!
I blame this new WB alpha. ^_~

Hrm - I'm guessing you mean the little watermark like images that used to display in the bottom right of the explorer pane in the special folders?
No. I'm not. I just noticed. I /am/ getting an icon in the bottom right of the Tasks pane however ("Picture Tasks" for My Pictures, "Music Tasks" for My Music, etc.)
The skins are skinning the right side of the control panel for me - but /only/ when it's it Category View (which I never use.)
Also having serious scroll bar issues in explorer, and some graphical anomalies when resizing windows.

im having some graphical anomalies with smaller windows closing, its nothing big though. Its alpha and I expect them.
I just cant figure out why its not showing the watermark images, as you put it. I've installed it enough times, wouldve thought id be default...or maybe it is and mines just quirky :shrug:

Watermarks is always what they've reminded me of - because they've always been next to invisible on my notebook. Yeah, I wasn't expecting perfection - as you said, it's an alpha release after all. Too be honest, it's a /much/ smoother alpha than I was expecting! Many companies would call this a 'beta' so far.
I just wish they'd given us a list of known issues. ^_~

:chuckle: im used to signed NDA agreements and filling bug reports for alpha beta software, with Stardock they never ask or expect a thing.
i would really like to help if any of you (stardock) are watching, just let me/us know how
