do in other words when the days run out, you can just get it again. Or without the trouble pay up and have as long as you want. Well since i payed $20 for WB4 i'll use that since you get the themes. Not worth paying another $15-$20 to get a new which is only the glass thing then. OK I'm finnished in this post topic.
from post #147: So really, WB isn't free anymore.
To post #137 and $140: i think it a shareware version, down the bottom it has 53 days left, if that means the days i have left to use it then it's really a trial, not a shareware version. Alsothe first download i couldn't get any glass effect on the already standard themes nor one i downloaded. So i redownloaded it again and i'm getting that glass effect on the skins already included. But not the one i downloaded. So obviously you really only getting a
can't delete stardock folder from program files. inside the stardock folder is a folder "ObjectDock" then iside that is "WIndowBlinds" then inside that is nothing. keeps saying that it is being used. don't know why there's nothin in it to use. i uninstalled it by add/remove.
no vista glass themes in gallery why are they not there i accidently deleted the one i had.
i re-downloaded windowblinds 5 to see if maybe something happened during the download. i installed it and it is doing that glass effect. So i installed a skin i download from the gallery "Vista" but the glass effect won't work on it.
[Reply to post #100 Most of the heavy lifting (as I understand it) is done by the video card in this build of WB. And you indicate that you have a Radeon 9800 which should be fine according to Stardock. [I have a Radeon 9200se with no problems seeing glass effects.] Have you updated your drivers yet? There should be no harm even if it doesn't help. And if you are not trying to offend skinners, you might want to find better a
to post #98 Yes we all have own opinions. Also i'm not trying to bag off WB5 (Sorry if offend anybody previously) i'm sure it's good, just having a PC that'll use it to it's fullest. I suppose it's not WB mob who made it as they would have tested it on later computers and expect most people to have later ones say 2 yrs max.
to post #83: yes the e-mails i think i've had like 30 from wincustomize, very annoying. to post #84: tried all the skins that came with WB5, no glass, which is why i tried a downloaded vista glass. to post #89: i didn't download a latest driver because i wasn't experiencing anyhing it said. Just looks lke i can't have glass unles i pay $20. You would at least be able to have 2 or 3 downloaded glass skins as well. All th
So ok, how do i find driver updates for the 9800pro 256mb? and how di i know if it's the right one for it? i was at the radeon site and i couldn't find it. To a previous pose, i system restored to just before i installed WB5 and has taken away that light blue highlight thing.
to post #73 I just went and tried on my nearly 2 yr old machine which has Radeon 9800 pro 256mb the glass crap didn't work is it just the shareware version or what it suck. my other machine which is only a cheapy but only 6 months old didn't like windows blinds 5 on it it slowed it down i had uninstalled it but has left traces of a vista theme on it only the menue when you right click the desktop. And that blue highlight thing that on e
to post #70 i mean the pixel thing won't work if it's a pixel thing.
oh an also does a Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb support the windows blind glass?
Neil Banfield the skin i was applying was a vista one but not the glass one what does this pixel thing do and how do i know if it is a pixel one? Also should be option to have that notify off. as it won't work anyway. sorry i took a while to reply.
Neil Banfield 1-3 times a day, but it comes up everytime you change a skin too. What do you mean how many days left? is the shareware like a trial?
i am not using a theme with that per-pixel thing but it comes up at boot-up still i don't know why they did that in the shareware version it's stupid, could at least turn it off.
i was told that the transperancy was included in the sahreware but that stupid pop-up that says "Buy" and "Continue" drives you insane, everytime you start the PC or change the skin. If you don't get the Transparency like i do it's not the Shareware version but the video card being used on the PC which is a downside as i couldn't see anywhere what minimum video needed for transparency.
Hey i have the same problem, Taskbar, The windows when click on start button, if right click on desktop that menue is transparent but that's it i thought the title bar is meant to be transparent.
oh my god, i wet myself from excitement, i have it (Only Kidding) but i have it! and Tuesday 29 is nearly gone.
It's been out for a couple of hours... - Sir Diafragma Not public yet!
can't someone send it to me via e-mail, only kidding i think i can wait a little longer.
i think it's unfair that some can have it now while others have to wait even though i have WB 4.6. Also the release date should have been more acurate for the world like: Release 29 Nov USA, 30 Nov Aust etc. But not far to go though.
Citizen yizhong what's the "????????" if you don't know you are behind in time to i here in OZ.
nice work done on it. i had the font on a very early Longhorn transform pack thing which i uninstalled but the font was still there.
