"Windows XP and Windows Vista Home Premium >> Child windows not skinned in Opera, WinRAR, MP3Tag and Command Prompt."

- Command Prompt:

> "The skinning of the command prompt will hopefully be available in a future release. This has been on the list of features to reintroduce to WindowBlinds."

>"I haven't heard anything specific back from the developers, but they do have the information I sent over as well as the update I had sent them.

If you are experiencing bugs, I would just leave these apps in the Per Application (exclusion) list until they have been specifically reported as compatible in the build changes log. (click the history button within Stardock Central)"

Is there a way to skin the command prompt in Vista with Windowblinds 6? I remember this feature available in past versions for XP, but not finding it in Vista anywhere...any tricks for this?

Thanks in advance!

The command prompt is not skinned by design, it's not a bug. This was an issue with enabling per-pixel skins and having transparency far outweighs command prompt skinning. I don't know if/when it will be addressed, but it's something that is known.

The best recommendation I can give is to use eConsole, which will be skinned by WindowBlinds. :)

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
