I don't have problems with DX or WFX they run great on my system(knock on wood)... what are these bugs you speak of im confused... and i've been using windowblinds, Wfx, DX, since version prior to version 1.0 on all of them... hmmm... Object Bar, and DX were very buggy prior to the 1.0 release, but they caused problems that requred a system restore, or anything of the sort. hmmm... im just a little confused...

Will do, KG.....
WFX runs like a dream for me.... I am totally awed by it. I also am not too worried about minor problems now since I have trust that Stardock will fix it soon.
...actually goodmorphing has more faith in Stardock programing than in her own flu-bitten brain right now (plans on refraining from too many fancy stuffs 'till lucid thought reigns).

da_zman20, the problems they are reported are real (remember that SDCentral is in its final beta stages). T-Mans suggestion of: "NOTICE: Please try Refreshing Application Data. It appears SDC is not properly auto fetching the data files. I think this will clear up many of the install issues." Should fix it.

ummm.............. I was going to send something, but then the last refresh leaves the beta and the pre-release showing (both with correct icons). I think that should be right. There was a SC update this morning, so maybe that fixed it. I have had the pre-release option checked from the beginning.
goodmorphing doesn't plan to push the update button until later on... when thought is dependable.

Ack - sorry to hear that your skins disappear when you uninstall/update Windowblinds, Brazil. Odd, really - every time a new version comes out, I switch to Windows Classing and then I uninstall the old one, and install the new one, all from within Component Manager - and I've never lost my skins.
Quite happy with CM, personally. I love you Stardock guys, but after some of the grief I've had with the Windowblinds 4 alpha (none with the beta yet!) I'm holding off on SDC - I'm through running prerelease software for awhile!

...then again I have never been the most stable; nor the brighest burning bulb on the block.....
Thanks for the email addy, KG. Got it copied now!

The skins are probably not gone, they are probably in a different directory that WB can't find. Search for wbload.exe and see if there are two install directories. One probably is the working one (with the newest .exe) and the other is where the old skins are. You just have to move the skins to the new directory.
kthxbye

I'm getting enough of that trying to get KDE 3.1.1 to compile on my FreeBSD notebook!
2 days, and still trying to compile kdelib! Yay!

Ah, but the sweet reward of feeling your brain doing that deep learning of the thing, the flexing of new mastery ... 
goodmorphing wonders if that feeling isn't the essence of youth and life itself!
The angst paves the way for the ecstasy!
ok,,, maybe I am weird. and wired too!

I quit using FX quite awhile ago, and have no problems with all WB UG's. Using 98a now.

Also, for everyone, it is most helpful if people report issues to: [email protected]
WC is *not* an official support channel for Stardock products, and is not always read by the developers/support. There is also a "support" form in SDCentral under: Help>online support> submit problem which adds info to your email that we need when trying to resolve your issue.
