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???

I'm disappointed......... I realize this is an alpha, but toolbars in certain apps that were skinned previously, are now not skinned, and I thought the tool pallettes would be skinned, but they look more default than before.

kosasati, are you using the wb4 skins or older ones? Theres lots of lil problems where graphics are where they didnt use to be, and missing in areas they were before on my machine, but I think this is just because the skins are for a previous version.
if youve got the wb4 skins, then i suggest you play with the options some more, they skin everything 3.5 did and more so far as I can tell.

I'm using Beacon........ here's another strange thing, in Display properties Beacon isn't in the list. (maybe it needs a second reboot)
Can anyone tell me why some options are in the Config, and some in Display properties? Shouldn't all settings be in Config?

"I'm using Beacon........ here's another strange thing, in Display properties Beacon isn't in the list. (maybe it needs a second reboot) "
i had to reboot and install a few times before mine worked at all, not sure why
"Can anyone tell me why some options are in the Config, and some in Display properties? Shouldn't all settings be in Config?"
perhaps new options they figure will be used more often should be easy access, and all the old ones that crusie from build to build are left in config :shrug: I dont like opening config at all, but then Id rather not see that long list of options stuffed in a small display window. :shrug:

Uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, rebooted, checked all settings I can locate........ (this is why I would prefer ALL settings be in one place, I'm always wondering if I've missed something, stuck in some odd spot.)
Personally I would rather use the Config, rather than the Display properties.
No change, and Display prperties lists skins I don't even have, as well as not listing skins I do have.

have you tried un-installing and deleting the whole directory? (leftovers not removed, like skins). If that doesnt at least fix your skin list then its prob not your fault

phreak_of_nature, be careful there, warewolf made a typo I think:
a Wincustomize subscription WILL NOT get you any Stardock software. What Werewolf meant to say is a "OBJECT DESKTOP" subscription!!! Don't go getting a Wincustomize subscription thinking you'll get Windowblinds alpha, there!

I did just purchase the Wincustomize subscription, and I am poking around in all the corners and can't find a component manager.

I apologize profusely I did indeed make a typo. Wasn't thinking while typing. Phreak, if you contact support and tell them this was all my fault, I'm sure they will fix it for you. Really sorry about that.

I appreciate your apologies, and don't blame you one bit. I will attempt to contact them and let them know what it is that I was intending to do. Perhaps they can apply the amount to the WB4 upgrade when it is available.

Thank you werewolf. 
I was just preparing an email, and quoting the message board. Thank you for pointing out which email, I would have sent it to the wrong one.
Thanks again, you've been great.

Well, now I need to decide on the subscription to Wincustomize, or WB4. Judging by the pricing, Wincustomize subscription seems to be a good choice.
Othere then WB updates and the skinbrowser, what else does the Wincustomize subscription get me?
