WB5 Beta isn't part of ObjectDock.

The Beta is only available to current Object Desktop subscribers. Link

you bought Object Dock. Windowblinds comes with an Object Desktop purchase.

1. Download the Stardock.exe, so you can start downloading all the goodies you bought. That will give you Stardock Central.
2. Start Stardock Central, which we'll call SDC from now on.
3. Left hand column, very top: "Object Desktop". Click it.
4. Right hand column, scroll alllll the way down, click on "more".
5. Download or "queue" what all you want downloaded.

I suggest downloading 4.6, skins and extras THEN Windowblinds 5 beta.

If this didn't help, give us some more detail on what it is you have done so far, with what kind of result you got. Happy skinning!

I've been staring at that right hand column for 45 minutes. I don't see "more" anywhere. Maybe I'm too tired.

Do you have a list of programs in the right "column", more like a split window?

Yup, I know before I updated to object desktop I saw windowblinds 5 beta in that list. That was when I just had windowblinds, so it was on the list but it wouldn't let me download it. Then I get object desktop and I don't see windowblinds 5 beta in the list any more.

Make sure you have the checkbox at the bottom of the screen enabled that says 'Show pre-release' versions.

GUI stands for Graphical User Interface. The User Interface is how a user interacts with a program. The menus, toolbars, icon bars, close, min/max buttons, etc, how they are all arranged on the screen, etc. The Graphical part of GUI refers to what all these things look like.

This is a very simplistic definition and others may express it better than I.
