Reporting an issue:

Please include the following for anything found:

Sorry Neil it's CurtainsConfig.exe. When I click on this with WB loaded, Windows default theme is loaded. I have to click on CurtainsConfig.exe again to bring up the Config screen.

Clicking on a curtains theme from the desktop will bring up the config screen if WB is not loaded. If WB is loaded at the time it will apply Windows default theme then I have to click on CurtainsConfig.exe to bring up the config window.

That would seem to be a bug.

That said if you are opening Curtains, it is logical to assume you are going to apply a Curtains style in which case WB has to be disabled.

Hi 

Sorry to post here but didn't found other than releases topic to ask.

While it may sound strange , I'm pretty happy with a previous beta build ( no issues with my config and other apps unlike most recent curtains releases ) but my problem is I can't load ith anumore as it leads me to your web page with new release to download . 

I just want to use this beta version even I paid for curtains but how can I stick with and prevent to open my browser app for update available instead of launching the config executable ?? 

Thanks for help I really wish to keep running this version which doesn't make any conflict with my regular apps ! 

 

PS: I did an uninstall and reinstall of the beta but no way to run it properly , it opens my browser :/

Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time. A "Run" dialog box will pop up, please paste the path below into the "Open" field and press OK.

%ProgramData%\Stardock\

In the folder that pops up, you should see a folder named Curtains. Please delete this folder and all of its contents.

After you have deleted that folder, please attempt to activate once again and it should succeed without any errors.

Hi Sean and thanks for reply but following your steps it doesn't work and always open the browser for update info and download . 

 

Is there any workaround which would let me still using the beta build ? ( registry or anything else ? )

The beta builds time expired and unfortunately there is no workaround for that.

Release builds and betas post release do not expire like that, only prerelease betas.

So with that, uninstall what you have, install from your account page, and activate it as you normally would:

Win10 v1909 build 18363.997

Creating a new theme, specifying only a taskbar button, then applying the theme seems to cause an Explorer crash/restart loop.

Thanks.

I have tried here and cannot reproduce it.

Could you go to your curtains folder, find curtains64.dll and let me know what the file signing date is on that please.

Also if you are able to send me a style which causes the issue it would help as we would like to reproduce it and fix it.

This signing date?

Sent you a pm for the theme.

What I did to create the theme:

Opened Curtains and clicked on "Create new" tab
Went to Taskbar tab
Picked taskbar button from the dropdown
Clicked "Pick image" button
Loaded the "taskbar-button.png" image from Cairo Dark
Applied changes

Thanks.
