Latest Update Borks Bootskin

Sunday, March 21, 2004 by Rutabaga64 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I thought maybe I was the only one experiencing bugs with the latest update of Bootskin, but from a couple of comments I've seen in other areas of WC, I've come to realize that I'm not the only one having problems. This latest update to Bootskin has broken the program, for all practical purposes .

First bug is, bootskins don't get automatically imported after being downloaded. I've had to manually import every bootskin I've downloaded since the program was updated.

Second, and most serious, bug is, no matter which bootskin I set as the active one, all I get is the default bootscreen when XP starts up. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but no luck. The default bootscreen keeps coming up.

Is it happening to just a few of us, or to everyone?

The 'Manual Import' thing is an on going problem. Try applying the skin thru Theme Manager and see if it works. Some don't even show it in Theme Manager, so that may not be an option for you.

Default bootskin appears here also, no matter which skin I .

Reverted to previous release.

I tried the Theme Manager route, and that didn't work either. Still got the default bootscreen.
