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???

Issue: Shellstyles don't display, or the option to have it displayed is hard to find/enable.
Resolved issues since 3.4: Hiding keyboard shortcuts on menus finally works while windowblinds is enabled
and macromedia studio mx seems to work fine, compatibility bugs have been squaaaaashed.
Pleasant suprises: Ability to display your User Icon on the Start Menu even with the welcome screen disabled, skinning the "please wait" dialog. Things generally work SUPER FAST compared to before and there's an option for adjusting fonts and taskbar sizes. Yummy

Thornz - development.binaries is for uploading screenshots and plain old development is just for the text. And yes, they do use the issues you post to help fix problems, another quality thing that Stardock does, they'll even personally respond to items you post quite frequently ... late
kthxbye

Heh - so I see! For some reason I never think of the newgroups (even though I'm subscribed to them all,) until somebody says "Check the newsgroups."

In Cartoon WB the long version and the custom colors are not supported by WB 3.90 ?. The short version is supported. Anyone else.

I had to exclude AOL.... that is OK since I only use it because it came free with my computer. I switch to IE once I get connected...
So far it is smooth, sweet......

um... I think it is the splash screen on AOL that won't work with it. Once I got connected I opened their browser to see what would happen and it seemed ok (the buttons, toolbar... didn't skin, just the frame.

lets try this backwards. Does anyone know how to turn the shell explorer background images off/watermark images off?

- right click My (your) Computer
- choose Properties
- select Advanced tab and open Visual Effects dialog box
- Uncheck "Show Backgrounds for Specific Folders Types" (or something to that effect)
No go
it was checked and shellstyles still didn't apply with the skin.

I also have the same problem with the long version of Cartoon. I'm too impatient to fix it myself, so Cartoon (short) it is because WindowBlinds 4 is really cool!

I am using MikeB314's Vox Blind and everything is skinned correctly, even some stuff that were previously on the exclusion list are being skinned.

correction* seems I was wrong about the User Icon feature -- turns out it lets you -dis-able the icon dispite having the welcome screen turned on. Wish I could do the opposite
