WindowBlinds 6.30 Release
------------------------
This release for WindowBlinds 6.30 adds new skinning options for layer blend modes. See the betas of SkinStudio 6.30 to check that out.

Support for a number of blending modes for layers
Breadcrumb bar text positioning no longer changes depending on if the window is maximized
Do not shift text when button pressed skin option (edit in SKS)
64 bit has had some tweaks to handle bad sizing of the addressbar
Shadow effect now works on very transparent things like the diamond taskbar clock text.

Indeed.  This is one of the poorest design decisions ever by Stardock.  Mucho unintuitive.

Yeah I Can See The Menu The First 3 Boxes Have Ticks And So Doe's The Last Box?

I upgraded to 6.3 today and any program that uses MS's .NET framework 2.0 crashes when trying to open a browse window. Example: Launched XML Notepad 2007 then clicked on the open icon to open an XML file and I get this: See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:





When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
This also happens when trying to do a Save as in Handebrake. If I removed the theme in WindowBlinds and use Aero everything works fine.

TotalHavoc: 32 bit or 64 bit Vista?

on Sep 24, 2008

6.30 has been republished tonight to hopefully correct that .net issue on 64-bit. And to prevent downloads from looping with SDC installs.

Kris

on Sep 24, 2008

Vista Ultimate 64 bit. I'm re-installing now. Will let you know how it goes.

 Update:

 

It works

on Sep 24, 2008

I am so pi****d

 

When will you guys the udpates right with impulse and XP

 

AGAIN (3rd timeminimum now) after updating wb6 I get an error message on startup  about wb needing another bootup and as always the stupid impulse routine didn't copy wblind.dll and wbserv.dll to the place it should on startup

 

I never had those problems with sdc -whats up with stardock - I am complaining about this every other update -you know what, Impulse is leaving my machine - that peace of software stinks !!!!
