Halloween Skin Start Menu Animation

OK, now that is tooooo coooool. Only one problem, it don't happen for me. I tried both substyles, XP, and Vista. Nada. I love the please wait BOO! animation, but no start menu anim.  Bummer.  

yeah thats the best skin animation i've seen

I'm getting a little impatient with not being able to get the full effect of this My Colors theme. Could someone please help      

 

Luv it!!  I hope it will do that for me when I install it.  :0)

 

Works for me on Vista, but, I have a friend that I got Object Desktop for as a gift, and is running on XP, and She isn't getting the animation.

That's what I have... object desktop and running on XP pro.  I wonder if there's a different download somewhere - other than using Impulse??

 

Ditto...Running XP and am not getting the animation!  Would like an update or fix....atleast before halloween to enjoy??

ok,thats just made me want to start skinning

its very fustraiting isn't it. I hear xp users need a newer version of WB thats being tested. I figure with my luck it will come out on Nov 1 LOL

I love it. I do have one problem is that it keops saying my stardock weather ocx file is outdated. I checked all my stuff and everything seems ok. Any ideas anyone.

I am an Windows XP person also and I also do not show the animation.  Bummer.....   The video of the skeleton is awesome.  Hope they get this fixed very soon for us XP users.  

That's awesome!  The skeleton ani was the only reason I dl'd this theme.  And unfortunately, on XP Pro I couldn't see it.  The please wait is pretty cool too.

I first installed it from the Subscribers section (individual apps' files in a zip)...no dice on the ani start menu. I also d/l via Impulse...still no bones about it. I'm on XP, using WB v6.3...all apps are updated to their latest, according to Impulse. And I, too, am getting the ocx error on the weather gadget. If I try to update MyColors, I get the following error: "There was an error checking for updates, please try again". Not trying to get support, cuz this isn't the place to post issues. Just adding to the discussion already in progress.

 

Same here, just the Boo animation

No animation here either. I going to give up and go back to RIP 2007. Maybe it will work next year.

For animations to work on Windows XP, a new build of WindowBlinds is required.  It's being tested, but we did not want to hold up the release because Halloween is approaching.

Island Dog, is there an ETA on this new WindowBlinds build? Like most people here I have Windows XP (as per the 2008 Stardock survey results, "51% currently have Windows XP and don’t plan to upgrade to Windows Vista"), and it's easier for me to be patient when I have a rough estimate of when to expect my desired outcome.   

 

Ah.  Was that in the advertisement, I can't recall.  That would have saved alot of frustration I think.

There is always next year. But it was free!!!

Seems like either a release date slipped or Stardock wasn't considering those of us who would have the initial elation, after seeing the posting, only to be disappointed that the animation won't work with our version of WB.

It sure dose look good! Wish I could see it running on my comp.The skin is still wonderful!!!

I have both Vista and XP and it works only on Vista

Hi,

this Theme is crashing my System ... The Animation works fine, but the frame in Explorer, Firefox, IE, Thunderbird, WB ..... is not showing. So im not able to close, minimize, or maximize it ...

My System: win vista ultimate 64 bit

What can i do for using this lovely theme?

For anyone having touble with this skin not showing the animation on Windows XP:  There is a bug with WindowBlinds where if you have it and MyColors installed the animation will not appear.  This has been fixed internally and an update should be put out for WindowBlinds early next week through Impulse.

Cool glad we are going to get it going !

If you update this skin the lower content margins(text margins) are off slightly in the XP Places list!
