Windowblinds 4.4 up on OD

[#Michael]

Warez, warez. Its funny how this topic wasn't talking about it, but suddenly one user changes everything.

It changed to warez because somebody asked for the enhanced version. Which you're not supposed to have access to if you haven't bought it. Hence if the person had access to it and a serial number but hasn't purchased it, then it would be warez.

Besides, it's a great program that is definately worth the price. Everyone, do yourself a favor and purchase it. You won't regret it.

Plus, I am seeing some suggestions (here and at wincustomize) that they may add transparency for version 4.5. It seems that WB just keeps getting better.

I install the 4.4, but somehow it says i still have 4.3?

Same here :blink: :unsure:

I don't know if you've got the version from OD or from CNet, but if you have the OD version there's been some wierdness with it lately. Reboot, try again. I know I had to try 3 times for the latest SkinStudio (released concurrently with WB4.4), although I only had to try once for WB4.4.

It should definitely say 4.4, though. Where are you getting it?

Tem, I do indeed know what I am talking about. You asked for somebody to post a link to the enhanced version of WB, did you not? Having the enhanced version without a serial number is, as Athletictrainer describes, is warez. The only legal way to acquire the enhanced version is to download it via SDC, if you have an ODNT subscription, or via the link sent to you in the email from Stardock when you buy the app. Asking for a link to the enhanced version or for someone to send the enhanced version to you is asking for warez. If you're smart, you'll purchase a legal copy of the program. Once you do, you won't regret it.

uninstall wb and then reinstall with 4.4 if its not properly updating from 4.3

After downloading and installing the regular version, I'm still having the SP2/AMD64 taskbar problem.

SP2/AMD64 problem?

I installed the regular version to give it a try out and it didn't skin my taskbar, after I restarted I couldn't load any theme :blink: where did it say about the SP2/AMD64 problem?

Edit, ok, it's fixed by completely turning off DEP via boot.ini but surely there's gotta be a fix along the line, users can't be expected to completey turn off a security feature to run some skins can they?

WindowBlinds 4.4 (available now for registered users and for the public next week) includes all the updates for SP2/AMD64's. And if there were some software DEP issues elsewhere for non-AMD64's, that should be all sorted as well.

Registered users can download the update through Stardock Central or have http://www.stardock.com/support resend the latest download link and serial to the email address you ordered under.

[Dazzla Veteran]

Well, didn't work here until DEP was completely off so that's not the case :/

[Nakor]

My apologies, you appear to have been right for the standalone enhanced build. I hadn't updated a file in the distro properly.

As of 5pm EST, I've refreshed it. You should be ok now.

You'll need to request the download link again, as I've changed it.

Where exactly does it show the version number. I searched everywhere on the GUI, but nowhere it clearly says "WB 4.4" ....so how do you find out?

[gxsaurav]

the problem comes when I double click on a folder & it opens, there is a lag before opening, the busy mouse pointer coms, about .5 sec lag

in 4.3 it was instant

It says it on the about box, or on the tooltip, for the WB tray icon.

Does the problem with Office XP(not-colored menu) was solved?... I already have 4.4.... but i recently formatted my computer.... and im a lil lazy to install Office XP at this moment.... so... does anyone know?...

[Kriz]

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up :D

[Hexlord]

The program's great! Runs well too.. cheers :)

Im am having a problem with SP2 2180 still and some installs of WB4.4 latest build. Still won't fullly skin and a "must close program" error always pops up and skins look like they are Windows classic overlays and not Luna overlays. Regular XP Luna and Xpstyles skins work fine though.
