Let me clarify my remark on multiple monitor support. Yes dreamscape/dreamscene does run on both of my monitors (on my ati x1600 pro) but it runs the same thing. Example: The rotating earth, the same picture rotates on booth monitors. Multi-monitor support truly means that it should be able to span one image across both monitors. So my monitors ( 2 x 1280*1024) are actually one 2560*1024 monitor. The program desktop earth (can be found on download.com) is able to do this. I

For as much as I am a supporter of this...it just has too many problems right now. 1. Both dreamscape/dreamscene have lack of multimonitor support. Figure out a way to fix that and it might be worth installing again. 2. dreamscape will NOT play nice with the milestone release of wb5.5. In order for an .dream to play I have to unload wb, reload the aero scheme, select/load a dream file and then reload wb. If wb is running first and then I try to run a .dream, I get the error
Can't wait to get home from business and get this on my machine. Anyone have a screenshot of this on Vista?
It's hard not to envy Vista's vibrant, better looks over Windows XP's flatter feel. Want that Aero-like experience, with cloudy, glassine-like see-through window titles and edges? Fork over $19.95 Stardock's WindowBlinds 5 and your prettier windows wish is their command
If I have any version of WB 5.x installed on my system running Vista rtm, my computer won't restart/shutdown/sleep, etc.. All it does is hang at the shutting down screen with the mouse in the rotating thinking mode. If I uninstall WB through SDC and then reboot the machine is fine. Any thoughts or suggestions? I always reboot my machine after installing WB before I apply a skin or run the program for the 1st time.
This is my question. I love what dreamscene is going to be and I am by far a fan of stardock. But as of late WC has been slow. What will this new site do to the bandwidth? Will WC/Stardock be able to handle it? Also will dreamscene turn into desktopgadgets.com or is this something that will be promoted?
I have always been of that route also....40MB doesn't really bother me. Except for the fact that I use the machine as a dvr. I already have 1gb installed and use 400-500 constantly. I am just trying to figure out why OD+ is jumping up to 40MB. Trust me, I am an extreme power user.
I have decided to go the minimal route this time and am use OD+ for a taskbar replacement. I have one dock for a sys tray and one for a start menu/my computer/ 2 fly out folders/recycle bin/minize to dock area. I have checked in the dock setting to optimize for memory but even with a few hours of use it spikes to over 40 MB of useage. Any thoughts of bringing that down?

Hope to see it soon The ports are good but that first true vista skin makes me drool. Sorry if I make a puddle.
I know we can do on the fly ports but how long before true vista skins can be made?
Using a port of the VXP windowblind skin or any skin wb5.5 will leave a partial menu bar visable at all times. Screenshot:
Usually I would say congrats and be all happy but not this time. I agreed with the icon and wallpaper voting but the VS voting seems way off. Gold and silver went to two very well known artists...wonder why??
1. Where do I actually report a bug for WB on vista? 2. I have to say while I love where it is headed for the moment I have switched back to aero. There is just too many glitches and lock ups to be usable on a constant basis. This is why I need someplace to report this to so someone knows this.
Aleatoric: I can confirm both of your bugs so far. The explorer dying does happen for me and so does the titlebar button issue in Office 2k7
Ok...you can't see it but I am doing a happy dance. Too bad that I am still at work for another 2 hours.

I am trying to download and install the newest Objectdock on vista but it won't install. SDC just keeps redownloading the install file without ever extracting anything. Any suggestings?
And I was just going to format and go over to vista full time. I can't wait for this.
Not true.....rumor has from the NG is that the BT might be receiving the RTM as gifts. We should know within a few days.
Stop playing with me on that. It's time for a new play toy and WB for vista is it. Besides....it has gone gold and hopefully us BT will get the rtm version. So that shouldn't be an issue....let's play.
Well they said November and it is the 8th already. Let's go already.........
you mean to have a gallery just for Vista skins? It's Wb5.5 or 6. It works on vista. Been patiently waiting for it but I am getting very childish about it....want it now kind of thing
I really like it. But with Vista going gold today......can we please have WB for vista?!?!?
I know that but I am growing very anxious for it. Screenshots aren't enough anymore. Must....have....it. **A very loyal WB/OD user waits in the corner twiltling his thumbs.
