Window Blinds Problems

April 17, 2004 2:03 PM from

Just got the newest WB (4.29h[rc]002). Still have problem when editing a skin in Skin Studio. Changes are made but, the skin does not repaint when applied, until, I click on the show/hide system tray icons button, then the changes kind of "morph" into existence. Additionally, using the Window Blinds Config window to change a skin, sometimes the change is "morphed" completely but, sometimes, a skin will NOT change/morph entirely, until, again, I hit the systray hide/show icons button. Also, don't know if it's a WB problem or a problem with Bootskin 1.04 but, upon rebooting using the Bootskin, the system locks up just before log on screen is supposed to appear. Did a revert, turned off bootskin but, WB skin doesn't always show up correctly. A second reboot and problem goes away. My sys is P4 1.80ghz, 512mb sys ram, nvidia GeForce2 MX200 w/32mb ram and using Windows XP Home. Anyone else having this/these problems? Any cures?

I have similiar issues. it only happens sometimes. All I have to do is minimize the window to tray and then remaximize an all is fine from there. It only happens when I am using WB config to change themes. I trust it will be dealt with in future updates. Its no real big deal for me. Just thought I would let you know you are not alone.

Night Train, thanks for your input. No biggie here either, just frustrating. This version (h) acting same as (g) in other words, new iteration, nothing fixed! Have sent email to Stardock with my specifics but as it's the weekend, don't expect to hear anything for a couple days....thanks anyway for your info. It's good to know I'm not alone, bad to know for WB users......

Just wanted to update. Thanks to Kris Kwilas, WB 4.29i[rc]002 now available and it fixes my problems. Working on the bootskin 1.04/1.03 problems still though.
