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.

      This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99 by Taras Buria Those looking for an affordable, high-resolution webcam from a reputable manufacturer can check out the latest deal from Acer, which puts its 4K webcam at a solid price. Thanks to a 14% discount, you can buy this all-metal 4K webcam from Acer for just $59.99. Despite the affordable price tag, the webcam has a pretty large 1/2" CMOS sensor manufactured by Sony. Apart from its size, it supports additional conveniences, such as high dynamic range and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Plus, the camera ensures you do not have to buy additional audio equipment, as it comes with two built-in high-sensitivity microphones, a built-in background noise filter, and the ability to pick up your voice from up to 2.5 meters away. Acer is not cheaping out on materials, and the webcam is enclosed in a more premium metal case, which is also good at heat dissipation (high-resolution cameras can get quite hot). And to make sure no one is peeping at you when the camera is in use, there is a magnetic cover also made of metal. Additional conveniences include an LED status indicator and a built-in mount that lets you place a camera on a tripod.
