[quote who="sdRohan" reply="134" id="3733071"] [/quote] I'd like to point out that for me Object Desktop Manager was installing each beta as it became available, or at least it was reporting that it had done so. The installation went fine and both it and WB were even reporting that no further updates were available; however, I was not getting an About page like as shown. It was only because I saw that screensh
Thanks for your reply. I presume elia had purchased v7 previously then? I have versions 4 & 5 but was just hoping for the extra features available in 7. Oh well, it was worth a try...
Pardon my bumping this thread but might it be possible that I could have v7 added to my account too, please? I am currently a subscriber but am in the process of renovating an old XP rig and found out about the incompatibility as well. I was under the assumption that old versions weren't given out but then I read this thread and now I'm hopeful! [e digicons]:pout:[/e]
I did forget to point out that for some reason WindowFX doesn't like it when I drag Edge around my desktop, but it's not the end of the world. In other news, Thunderbird (version 60) has gone full Metro / WSA (as in look not in install location) and so is now completely incompatible with Windowblinds. It does keep the colour-scheme when it's ignored in settings though but that's normal Windows behaviour I think?
Here's what you need but be prepared for frustration. You have to take ownership of the folder and each time there's an update a new folder for the app will be created so you'll need to add the app again. Thankfully I haven't encountered a Metro / WSA app that I've had a problem with with WB, yet... I was t
Another one- I've noticed that in Edge, the website preview show/hide button isn't showing at all for some reason and it's impossible to add Edge to the exclude list as far as I can make out (due the way it runs). You can still switch full previews on and off with a registry change although I won't be posting any links to where you can find them as I'll probably be told off for doing so! They're not hard to find.
For Chrome, look back two messages ago... You missed that didn't you! What e-mail client are you using?
Ah, good to know. Thanks Dave!
I suppose you have a point, in that modern apps built with whatever it is that gives them that "Metro" flat look are either entirely ignored by Windowblinds or aren't quite entirely skinned properly with it but my point was that, in terms of stability, Windowblinds is a lot better now. I guess I'm more forgiving and I tend to spend more time with older software anyway. It's ironic that the Object Desktop Manager is even built this way (and so isn't skinned by WB either!) I tr
I think that's a little unfair if you ask me. Windowblinds is working better than it ever has I would say--I had versions 4 & 5 back on XP--and I have very little incompatibility with apps these days so far. As the flagship app for Stardock I think it's a very good piece of software, as it should be. The problem I mentioned earlier with the recent large Windows 10 update I resolved by simply reloading the Style and Mozilla's software must just be coded in a particular way that is
This one by Prisoner7 he made when he was 14? https://www.sevenforums.com/free-developer-programs-projects/63796-transparency-project.html Yeah, I can see how that would cause problems! WindowFX can do transparency itself so it's likely the two apps would clash. Right click on an app's taskbar for the transparency options.
Oh, wait! I remember a bit more now. I had a problem with an item in Explorer's context menu (right click menu) which was causing things to hang. It was Comodo Backup 's fault and once I'd uninstalled that app the problem went away; assuming this is the same problem of course (it was a while ago now!) You may have another app causing a similar problem? I completely forgot about that but, now I think about it, that's another thing you might want to consider tackling.
Back on topic now... First off- My avatar- I know, I know but I can't change it ATM so please bear with me for the time being. Paint.NET doesn't like the new version of WindowBlinds. It hangs when attempting to save a file. I imagine it's something to do with alpha blending but that's just a novice gue
First off- My avatar- I know, I know but I can't change it ATM so please bear with me for the time being. Regarding WindowFX- I seem to recall having similar problems but I was REALLY keen on having my windows burn up when they close (just like Compiz does) so I persevered. I discovered, at the time- around a few months ago, that the trial version of the software available for download is v6.02 whereas the latest registered version is v6.03. Once I'd updated to that version m

I'm really only a beginner with it then I suppose; 30 days isn't long! Are there big changes between new and old desktops that could be the cause of the problems I'm having then? Is it wrong that I'm asking for a copy here as I can't think of another way to get my hands on something that works. Anyway, it's good to see people still creating so long after DesktopX was removed from sale.
Hi everyone. Now I realise full well that DesktopX is no longer supported but I had a lot of fun with v3.5 on my Windows 10 setup. Of course I couldn't buy a licence so couldn't carry on experimenting once the trial ran out which I was very sad about. That was until an unnamed party pointed me towards the newer "beta" version of the software which has a Pro licence from the get go. Fantastic I thought, that was until I tried to use desktops that had worked more or less perfectly fine
