Hi Neil,

yes.

Theres another problem in the newest beta build with x64 (still has address bar problems..... )
Also:

All property dialog boxes are like that, only the frame/close.min.max are skinned with the themes elements.

Hola Mr. Neil,

Outlook 2003 calendar appointment dropdown arrows for location, label, start time, end time, reminder and show time as, get hosed. Worst arrows are the start/end time ones. I tried to capture a couple of screenshots but they didn't show the anomalies.

How to reproduce:
Using Diamond, or Harmony, click on an appointment (or create a new one) in your OL2003 calendar.
The arrows for the start time and end time dropdowns look like their doubled or something.
Run your cursor over them and they retain a blue color (Diamond), even when mouse off. The drop down arrow almost looks normal after the mouse over.

Can anybody with MS Outlook 2003 Calendar confirm this? I can reproduce it with many skins. Elegance is not as bad as Diamond.

With explorer background transparency on, the recycle bin is black if there isnt anything in it.

This update doesn't do anything on my machine. The new feature (Explorer Backgrounds) tab shows up, but when I apply any of the textures it just crashes Explorer.exe and closes my WindowBlinds window. No changes to my Explorer windows. I am on Vista Ultimate SP1.

RottGutt: Do you have any additional information on the crash such as a crash address?  It sounds like something that has loaded into explorer has conflicted with WindowBlinds.

Astyanax, mine is skinned.

in windowblinds configuration/settings/"If a skin has a replacement user icon then replace the current user icon with the skin supplied icon" RADIO button stays checked/enabled , i cannot uncheck it.i have object desktop

It's quite wierd, that isnt skinned for me, and also the address bar gets larger if the titlebar height for the bmp frame is above 23 pixels, yet I talked to a guy on dA that didnt have this issue. What could be causing this?!
Perhaps I need to install WB through and executable rather than SDC? I really don't get this..WB hates something in my PC and it's really ruining it for me.  

"Added additional glass explorer sections. These will show up in future. "

Must have future now.

Astyanax mine are skinned also. Vista Ultimate 32 bit

I had a problem changing skins I went from Sirus to Tanipal. It looked like it going to change and it went back to Sirus. I restarted my CPU and Tanipal was skinned. Now I notice when I change skins it takes a long time. Compared to the last update that took half as long.

Two things I have noticed since the last WB update applied last night are that the skins take only about half the time for WB to apply them, and the flaky excuses for Vista drivers ATI has been handing out haven't crashed since then. (However, on the second count, I'm sure it will only take a bit of time for ATI's flakeware to crash again...).

However, a few screwy things -- I can change the Windows Explorer backgrounds -- but they only stay changed when the windows are made smaller with the "Restore" (i.e., the middle window button between Minimize and Close). Maximize Explorer window backgrounds will not retain the skin (though if I hit the middle button again, the background comes right back again).

If I have the WindowBlinds configuration applet open, the Windows Taskbar will pop up and down about every 5 seconds, and also pop up when the applet closes for a second or two.

I had the WB option "If a Skin has a replacement user icon..." unchecked, but the updated checked it for me, and I can't uncheck it.

I'm using 64 bit, you both as well? (PurrBall & ALMonty) I should mention that it's skinned in Vista x86, so it may be a x64 issue.

Astyanax some of your dates (the last 3) are different then mine. I don't know if it's because you are useing a 64bit version or not. Or if it matters.

my info matches up with astyanax's.

This is my laptop and one date is different then my other machine. They were both updated at the same time.

Neil, I think this has been reported before but sometimes when you click a condensed picture on certain websites to see the full image the title bar at the top of the newly opened window is missing. In fact, it's there but invisible because if you put your mouse in the area where the buttons should be showing you will find them. Just you can't see them or the title bar.

Here is an example. If you go to this WWW Link and click the image where it says attached image in the post you'll see what I mean.

Running the latest beta version on XP SP2 with IE7. If there is any other info that I can provide or help with, please don't hesitate to ask.  

I don't know if it's got anything to do with the changes but on my older blinds i git a white on white fonts on web pages. My start menues are narrower than the Previews on full start. It cuts off on the right. It seems I need a step by step too.

Hi,
This has probably already been mentioned so soz if it has.
When I use WB to apply the default Windows Aero skin then unload WB by right clicking it in the system tray and selecting unload,the WBVista.exe is still showing as running in my task manager,even after a reboot.
Not much of a problem as I pretty much always have a blind loaded    but I was just curious as to how,if I wanted to,I could stop WBVista.exe from loading at startup even when it has been unloaded.
My info...

Bumpity bump   

I've also found that transparent explorer backgrounds don't work on the Games Explorer in x64. Anyone else with 64 bit confirm this?

Astanax0: That is normal.  The game explorer window is special.

Hi Neil,
So what's the score with WBVista.exe running at startup even when it is unloaded?

So far so good here.

There is a new build on the private server with the explorer backgrounds feature for XP users too.

For those of you on Vista especially, try using the opacity slider and moving it left.
