wb5 questions
Tuesday, November 1, 2005 by peterd | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Couple of questions with the latest w5 beta:
1) How do i enable the icon in the systemtray? I can't find the option anywhere.
2) How do i delete a skin that i've already downloaded? Can't find the option for that either

The option to delete an already installed skin is located in the Preview image, just below "Change Skin Colour" and above "Apply this skin now".

I would follow Corky's instruction on this one. Sorry, Hapkido, but there is an issue with deleting from the Preview window. There are other threads in which it is stated that people are losing their WB altogether by trying to delete from there. It is "safer" to delete the theme folder.

Do not delete skins manually from explorer. The delete option in wbconfig should be used.

New beta is out!! Get your updates!!
Neil: sorry, seems that there was a thread that said to delete from explorer...I didn't write the program, so I should probably not make such a certain statement. I will watch myself. Happy skinning!

Not available at this time, and may not be incorporated into the completed version in the same way (if at all).
You should be able to go to "C:\Program Files\Stardock\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds" folder, and delete the skin folder - then start WB 5 and click the refresh icon below the preview window. Note - I have found that in some cases the skin list disappears until I move the scroll bar below the skin list, which then redraws the skin list images.
