Hmm? Hey, what that WB Configuration? They had reworked all the GUI?

Yes, there is a new UI coming. :)

That's in Windows XP? It looks like it has the white behind the black text like in Vista and it is easily readable which would be great

Yes, that is Windows XP with the Vista skin I posted previously. WB6 has a "Vista-ize me" setting which will set transparency and blur to resemble Vista. Obviously, you can also manually configure the settings to your liking.

I was wondering that, I assumed it was just the GUI for XP (not something I can check as I dont have it installed anymore). The full version was on the WB6 preview page when wincustomize announced it.

Sounds great, thanks for the info. I look forward to WB6 being released :)

God Bless Alexandrie!!!

And damn, the new UI of SKS and WB are Skinable!!!

In the WB folder, you have the UI folder for the skin of WB and Skinstudio folder for the skin of SKS.

It just need a possibility to put more than one skins and get a selector. Get SKS/WB skins included in the WB skin would be awesome also.

Got the new update, however nothing seems to have changed :(

This is the latest update info I got ...

[Please note WindowBlinds 5.90+ releases require existing versions of WindowBlinds to be

uninstalled and Stardock Central 2.46 Build 154 or later to install.]

WindowBlinds 5.91 beta

-------------------------------

-Added new wbconfig interface (designed by Alexandrie!). Comments and suggestions welcome.

-Added new Classic skin

-Updated Molten

-Lots of additional internal work and tweaks

Am I doing something wrong? (I had to reboot after update)

TBH its not always my fault, stardock dont test fully with vista, its probably that ... Love the products, hate that we have to be the testers :(

Rofl, first it's called WB6 BETA, second, I'm in Vista and it work wonders. Vista is the actual priority at Stardock, I'm sure of that.
Is this the new configuration UI? (Nice UI by the way. :yes: )

Question: Will Windowblinds 6 hook into Vista's Personalization window?

Yes it's the New UI, No it don't hook like it do in XP.

You know you are talking about a beta TEST version, aren't you? :angry:

WindowBlinds 5.91 beta

-------------------------------

-Added new Classic skin

Is this for Vista only? Anyone got a screenshot?

:) it was late when I posted (nearly 3am) so my mind wasnt at its sharpest, as said though I still love their products :) After another reboot this morning the new gui is there, looks pretty good :)

Just getting ready to message you, glad you got it working. :)

Not just for Vista there two version to select. It's pretty basic like skin, but it's better than Luna :yes:

It's also a good skin to use the recoloring feature in WindowBlinds as well. :)

Lets just remember the betas for SKS and WB6 are for Object Desktop subscribers to try out, and give us feedback on any problems that may occur, or just features they would like to see added in future builds. Betas have problems sometimes, that's why they are beta, but I can tell you we appreciate the feedback and by helping identify any issues, it just makes it better for everyone. :)

With that being said, let me remind everyone again that the WB6 beta feedback thread is still active and feel free to post any comments about the betas. :)

    • I am not a US citizen nor a Trump fan. Respect to both left and right. But I will, for the sake of fun, predict something for my own. There will come a day when the US and China will collide like titans ( over Taiwan or anything else ). Then, on that day, some people in this comment section will realize how good an idea it was to become independent in areas like that. ( Or atleast try )
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen by Usama Jawad Microsoft Edge may not be the most popular browser out there, but it does receive quite frequent updates that sometimes bring surprising new features and axe others that are not as popular. Now, Microsoft has detailed some of the new security enhancements that it has introduced in Edge for Business, typically used by commercial customers. Microsoft has emphasized that security features are baked into Edge for Business and offer native integration with security and governance tools like Defender and Purview. Browser sessions are governed by default on managed devices but can also be governed through dedicated work profiles on unmanaged devices. An important aspect in this area is controlling the use of shadow AI. We have talked about this before, but it essentially restricts employees from using unsanctioned AI apps through data loss prevention (DLP) policies, with Edge redirecting them to trusted AI services like Microsoft 365 Copilot. This feature, available as a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) license, ensures that confidential data never exits AI boundaries set by your organization in Purview. Additionally, Microsoft also has strong DLP policies for contractors. Contractors leveraging a Entra ID-joined work profile provisioned by their contracting company on a device managed by their actual employer can be restricted from downloading files locally. In such scenarios, the file is saved on the contracting firm's OneDrive rather than being downloaded locally. Another useful Edge security feature disallows copying and pasting from unmanaged locations and apps. Similarly, DLP policies can be configured at a granular level to restrict screenshots or downloading of files from certain locations. In the same vein, IT admins can block the installation of extensions, hosted apps, themes and scripts, and control if users can install extensions from external locations. They can also enable the installation of specific extensions and allow users to request access to certain extensions, so that they can be managed on a case-by-case basis. Finally, Edge for Business now has an on-device AI model that uses computer vision to see what's on your screen and block potentially malicious content immediately. This does not rely on site reputation, as it simply monitors what is being displayed on your screen, which means that it is effective against malicious content that takes over your screen and employs scareware tactics. Since this is an on-device AI model, it does use your system's resources, so it's enabled by default only on devices with at least 2GB of RAM and four CPU cores. You can find more details in the Microsoft Mechanics video here.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
