well im using the WB5 final version and it is very unstable.. the titlebar is not transparent anymore when the window is maxmised.. and there may be "white graphics spots" left behind sometimes....

The black title bar when the windows are maximized is by design and is not a "bug"...ya NUB.

Learn how to spell. :no: Not everyone knows KoL stuck this feature into the skin.

But WB5 being unstable.. I somewhat agree with it. The performance of semitransparent menus is horrible, the Start Menu in VistaXP is laggy (mouseovering the items), and above all that WB5 refuses to apply per pixel transparency.

So msstyles it is for me until I get my new rig.

I have no problems with lag on BOTH my three year old desktop AND my three year old laptop.

Both are spec'd at 2GHz P4s, (one P4-M and one P4A), laptop with a Mobility Radeon 7500 and desktop with GeForce 4 MX440.

ah ok i see so its not bugged. however i still agree that it is really unstable.. graphics glitches, windows not being able to animate when minimise/maxmise correctly, programs crash cos of incompability. let's hope stardock comes up with patches in the near future..

Im taking my time

The past months I spent most of my time in the computer, university, work, and themes. Right now is time to take some time away from the computer. The progress is going to slow but Im working on it.

      It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.

      I really don't like these rounded corners and huge borders in the viewport. They just waste space without anything in return.
