per application no longer stable in W5
Thursday, December 1, 2005 by 4now | Discussion: Stardock Support General
I think I've narrowed it down to an issue with the 'per application' feature. All my problems with W5 seem to be related to launching or closing programs that i have given there own skin. usually after closing-- the next program I go to/ or return to starts hanging. Alot of funniness going on with the title bars -- blacking out -- titles overlaping each other like a jammed printer.
anyone else..??
anyone else..??

Opening a per app skinned app should not crash any other apps. Does dreamweaver have a per app skin too?
We are aware of an issue where if you have 2 apps running with different per app skins (if they use the same skin then it does not happen), and then close one of them, the other one gets corrupted graphics. This has been resolved internally & the next WB build will resolve this.

dreamweaver wasn't skinned - only firefox at this point. I never had any problems with per app in 4.6. this is new to me. all I can say is instability occured when I launched an app from another. Opera -> open page in IE. and Dreamweaver -> view page in Firefox browser. The apps that were launched had per app assigned - but it was only after closing them that all programs that remained open froze and started crashing.
The only thing that I did different after this installation was test WB on a second user account - although the second user could have a different skin - the per app settings assigned on my end still applied. So I decided to go back to the XP look -- before my wife returned and wanted to check her email

and now when I launched Firefox from Dreamweaver (to view my web page in the browser) everything that was opened crashed. forgot that I also had Firefox skinned 'per application'.
