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.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
