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???

is anyone else having probs with shell folder backgrounds, or am I just totally missing somethin. If its a bug I'll give up, but no one else seems to be having the problem.

Is version 3.90 really supposed to be a preview of WB 4? The reason I ask is because I thought WB 4 was supposed to skin the command prompt, but mine isn't. The Logoff buttons are skinned now, which is nice though. Love the ones provided with the Toon-XP suite.

Shakey, you have to tell it to. Go to display properties, then appearance tab, and then click the advanced button

Thanks, Thornz. I've been waiting for command windows to be skinned for a long time now. I love it!

Skinned dos prompt/window here, but it is not touching Directory Opus... Must need to look in DO and see if there is something I need to turn off or not...

Directory Opus attempts to skin its own titlebar & so WB automatically disables skinning on its main window.
You will have to ask the authors of that app to stop doing that.

One thing I have noticed is that while the redrawing of windows is superfast the redrawing inside of them (such as a internet explorer window) is slow until you turn off cleartype. Not a big deal but should be noted.

Cleartype uses a lot of CPU and thats why its slower to paint. This is normal and happens without WB too.
kthxbye

And Thornz - no, I'm still not getting those little watermark-esque images in my explorer window.

I read everyone saying the WB(alpha)4 is displaying in the "component manager as 3.90"
My question is this, what and where do I find this component manager?

Will WB4 be made available to those who have purchased WB3?

If you purchased WB3 separately, then no, I don't believe so. All updates until new major version number. Subscription give you updates for everything, all version upgrades though the term of your subscription.

dont confuse the two, a wincustomize subscription and a OD subscription are two different things.
