Thanks for the reply, it would just be handy to know what is updated as mentioned, after all its a beta and we need to know whats changed/added/removed etc in order to report back :P
Over the last week I have had 3 updates to Windowblinds 7 and each time when I click historyc, it advises there is no history. Tis has always been a bugbear, as we are testing stuff so we need to know what has been fixed/implemented in order to check it is functioning. FYI the last update I got was just now, which is currently installing and I will no doubt have to reboot afterwards so cannot tell you what the new version number is. Also, I have a
Was just about to post regarding this, thanks for the replies saying it was sent out early :) One question though, there is no "My Desktop" section in the impulse client? All I have is "Explore", "Community", "My Software" and "My Games". Impulse is up to date 3.21.381 (build 1260) so I assume that is an error in the email? I appreciate it was sent early and the skin is not available to us yet, but I wanted to check on the "My Desktop" issue.
Thanks for the reply, strabnge thing is, it used to be fine both could co-exist. Sadly I use msn more than I do blinds, so have foregone using WB skins until this gets fixed, have gone back to using VS's
As per topic, I have been having issues for over a month with MsgPlus and WindowBlinds. basically if I use the Tabbed Chat function when I am chatting to 2 or more friends, each when I switch between them the chat window gets increasingly smaller until it is impossible to read/use. I spoke to the devs there who said to the exe to the exceptions in WindowBlinds, but that makes it all like like crap, as it defaults it to Windows Basic scan (which I hate). I have asked ag
I have the same issue Zubaz with this release as well as a problem since it was initially released where I cannot create my own skin, it just times out. Apparantly I am the only one in the world this happens to so I seem to have been ignored, I have to make a new reply everyweek just to get a seemingly scripted response about need screenshots or cannot reproduce and it has not been reported by anyone else :(

I cannot change the hotkey for Dopus, as I have requested within the support before, but been ignored again in a sense, It is that as default, but I had to stop using Dreams etc as they also stopped me using Dopus and loading by Double Click. I was told by support to stop using dreams :/

Yes when I double click the desktop Dopus opens up, as mentioned a different hot key for hiding in Fences would be ideal. Auto Fencing will be an option in the future? Not just for different filetypes etc (eg shortcuts) but for downloads or new additions on the desktop? I do actually like the fences program/idea, but in its current iteration it is just not as usable as I would lik it to be :(
WinCustomize Forums
How do I get it to auto-sort icons within a fence, instead of the mess it creates now with everything jumbled up? How do I get it to add new shortcuts etc into a default fence? I download to desktop by default so the above question again but saving downloads to a default fence? I use another app that uses double desktop click to open (Dopus) how can I change the default hide action within Fences to another combination? I did try and use Fences during the beta, but had issues and
Absolutely brilliant yet again, all we need now is someone to make a cursor, icons and possibly a tabbed objectdock skin, then it would be perfect :P *hint* *hint*
Under the settings tab in IconPackager there are options at the bottom rebuild icon cache, repair shell items and repair icon images. One of the icon options should do the trick.
Are there any skins that show off these new features? Or do I just have to enable them in a preference file somewhere?
there has been another release since my last post, current version is 1.01.[b].022 which doesnt ask for registration. There is no animation on the bootscreen (using Vista) and the skin only appears for around 5 seconds, there is a period before that of blackness for around 10 seconds and afterwards of around 15 seconds before the login prompt appears. Not great but definitely a step in the right direction.
Bootskin has just updated itself, but is now asking for registration :( 1.01[b].021
[quote who="Zubaz" reply="21" id="1957959"]I went to apply the suite I just created (https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.aspx?skinid=610&libid=22) I was unable to apply until I turned on the advanced config (perhaps because I didn't have all apps installed??) Then, when I was able to the advanced config had an odd couple of entries: Name? Author? Size? Also, right clicking on the suite and choosing Theme Info opens a wind
So any news as to when Bootskin will work for those who dont live in usa
So when are non yanks going to be able to use this software? or will it remain us only for ever?
[quote who="a dickinso" reply="15" id="1950856"]The new version of theme manager will not apply skin or widgets on suites or my colour themes on my computer operating Windows Vista. It works correctly on my computer operating Windows XP. I also have a problem with bootskin pro for vista. It will not apply a bootscreen, I recieve the error of there was an error applying _____ eg: aquamaine. Has any experienced the same problem or have any ideas?[/quote] yes, unless you are a
[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="25" id="1949093"] What fix are you waiting for and in which app?[/quote] Desktop Collage dream, which has been sort of updated now, but fails in most areas, including stopping working after 10mins :(
So no word on when those of us who do not live in the centre of the universe called the us, are going to be able to use Bootskin? Mind you what can you expect when we have been waiting 18mths plus for a fix for an purchased app. that has yet to materialise, why do we even bother giving you our money.
[quote who="mickeko" reply="14" id="1947165"] Sorry to say this, but the latest version is 1.00.037, but it probably won't help you as there is a known issue with BootSkin Pro and non US versions of Vista. You may be able to get it to work by setting the default language to US english on your vista ultimate though. I can't try it as I have home premium.[/quote] So will this issue be fixed? There is a world outside of the us that buy stardock products too. Setting my languag
[quote who="Zargon0225" reply="23" id="1946966"] However Bootskin Pro did not show as needing an update so I uninstalled it and then reinstalled I got the same version again 1.00.027 Do you see 1.00.035 [/quote] After hours of trying I eventually got 1.00.035 however I still cannot apply anything I just get the same error about there being an error when applying :( To re-iterate I am now on BSP 1.00.035 with Impulse 3.10.330 (images 3.10.174) (Build
[quote who="mickeko" reply="11" id="1946662"]Open the preferences page in impulse and choose "reset data", that should hopefully be enough.[/quote] Sadly this didn't work either :( It asked me to restart as there were updates to Impulse, it now shows 3.10.330 (images 3.10.174) (build 942) so only the images seems to have changed. However Bootskin Pro did not show as needing an update so I uninstalled it and then reinstalled I got the same version again 1.00.027
not seeing 1.00.028 have rebooted and ran Impulse again, even uninstalled Impulse and tried again :( Impulse is at version 3.10.330 (Images 3.02.171) (Build 942) This is where I miss SDC, IMO it was far superior to impulse
[quote who="Zubaz" reply="1" id="1946451"] I downloaded it via impulse and have gotten the updated version.Which version? they are being pumped out very quickly to address issues as they come up.[/quote] Version was given in my original post BSP build 1.00.027 I checked before I posted again now and there is no newer version
