New WB5 Beta build on OD

Wednesday, October 5, 2005 by Neil Banfield | Discussion: Stardock Support General

We have updated the build of WB on OD.

Please read the readme before installing and please use this thread for bug reports

Some of the changes :

Explorer hanging on skin change with some skins should now be fixed.
Which means changing skins should be a lot faster.
Right click overrides for per pixel skins work for rollup.
Rundll32 issue should be fixed.
Winzip extraction dialog issue should be fixed.
Min & max animation effects now respect the WB setting.
WBConfig troubleshooting page shows more info (that indicates if
you are missing files).
WBConfig troubleshooting page has a checkbox for compatibility
mode which might help those ATI Mobility 9000 users who have corrupt
titlebar buttons & text background area..
The corruption seen with KOL's Vista skin should be fixed now.
The taskbar semi trans corruption when you apply skins sometimes should be resolved.
The desktop fade now works correctly when the primary is to the right of the secondary.
Minor leak with per pixel frames resolved.
Issue with LogonStudio when applying logons should be corrected.

I uninstalled WB and then the new version showed up to download.  When I downloaded and installed it I found that the skin *arrow* was missing.  It's folder was there, mostly empty.  I uninstalled WB and reinstalled and that skin remains missing.  Everything else seems fine.

Thanks for the roll-up feature.  I really depend on that one.

It looks good, but how do I uninstall a skin?
I'm missing the "delete skin" button...or at least, I don't see it.

onestar, in the actual preview of the skin, you have a bunch of options...change color of skin, etc. One of them is delete skin...

Neil, I've not seen this posted elsewhere, so another update: ThemeManager does not apply the WB's of pre-existing suites. All other components are applied as normal, but during the application process I get tooltip stating 'BlackGold' has been installed each time, instead of the selected suite's blind being applied

Also, trying to create a new suite package with a variety of blinds results in the identical tooltip "BlackGold", but none are applied, though the other components are. It would seem TM has difficulty identifying the new version of WB, perhaps? It's not a major problem and I can live with it, going back to WB4 is not an option, and thought posting this might help with the beta testing process.

I am using version 4.90c[b].003. and there are no other issues that I know of. My system and trouble shooting details posted at #11

I am still getting this glitch on KoL's Vista skin with the volume meter;
When I press the volume button on my computer, it pops up looking like this:



When I mouse-over it, I get this:


But the black bar stays as the progress bar

I seem to have an ativation problem. Not sure why this is occuring since I have a subscription to OD. But when I run windowblinds 5 it tells me that the product is not activated and to activate it from within SD Central. When I right click and choose "Activate" from within SD Central I get a funny error code which I cannot interpret.

(There was an error activating the selected product. Error: 5)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
