Reload Current Skin
Missing in WB5
Wednesday, December 7, 2005 by jsawiuk | Discussion: WindowBlinds
A much as I love Windowblinds 5, there's a feature I'm missing, namely the "Reload Current Skin" option in the right-click menu on the systray icon. I was using it extensively before while fine-tuning downloaded skins with SkinStudio, to see the outcome on screen. Also, I have found that reloading a skin resolves some issues I have now with Arrow skin and MS Office 2003. It would be much easier with "Reload Current Skin" option where it should be.
Will it ever come back?

I will check this with other skins as well when I got time.
After some time of work, seemingly in random moment, when I alt-Tab back to Word from any other application (dictionary, browser, Total Commander or whatever), Word either doesn't seem to respond or doesn't come to foreground, i.e. has focus and is usable, but the window I alt-tabbed from stay on top (even though not "stay on top" option is set for them. As I mentioned, reloading a skin and/or WB application resolves this until it happens again. It happens three to four times a day (I work at least 14-16 hours a day, so it's not very often). I haven't found any regularity in this behavior, I will post an update if I find one.

I third that - having reload handy is very worthwhile.
