How's this?

[NienorGT]

Hmm? Hey, what that WB Configuration? They had reworked all the GUI?

[Dirty Dog]

How's this?

That's in Windows XP? It looks like it has the white behind the black text like in Vista and it is easily readable which would be great :yes:

Yes, there is a new UI coming. :)

Yes, that is Windows XP with the Vista skin I posted previously. WB6 has a "Vista-ize me" setting which will set transparency and blur to resemble Vista. Obviously, you can also manually configure the settings to your liking.

I was wondering that, I assumed it was just the GUI for XP (not something I can check as I dont have it installed anymore). The full version was on the WB6 preview page when wincustomize announced it.

Sounds great, thanks for the info. I look forward to WB6 being released :)

The new UI looks sweet! When will that be available?

There's an updated build up now, it should include the new UI. :)

[NienorGT]

God Bless Alexandrie!!!

And damn, the new UI of SKS and WB are Skinable!!!

In the WB folder, you have the UI folder for the skin of WB and Skinstudio folder for the skin of SKS.

It just need a possibility to put more than one skins and get a selector. Get SKS/WB skins included in the WB skin would be awesome also.

This is the latest update info I got ...

-Added new wbconfig interface (designed by Alexandrie!). Comments and suggestions welcome.

-Added new Classic skin

Am I doing something wrong? (I had to reboot after update)

[NienorGT]

TBH its not always my fault, stardock dont test fully with vista, its probably that ... Love the products, hate that we have to be the testers :(

[Denis W. Veteran]

Is this the new configuration UI? (Nice UI by the way. :yes: )

Question: Will Windowblinds 6 hook into Vista's Personalization window?

[NienorGT]

Rofl, first it's called WB6 BETA, second, I'm in Vista and it work wonders. Vista is the actual priority at Stardock, I'm sure of that.

Yes it's the New UI, No it don't hook like it do in XP.

Not just for Vista there two version to select. It's pretty basic like skin, but it's better than Luna :yes:

Just getting ready to message you, glad you got it working. :)

It's also a good skin to use the recoloring feature in WindowBlinds as well. :)

Lets just remember the betas for SKS and WB6 are for Object Desktop subscribers to try out, and give us feedback on any problems that may occur, or just features they would like to see added in future builds. Betas have problems sometimes, that's why they are beta, but I can tell you we appreciate the feedback and by helping identify any issues, it just makes it better for everyone. :)

With that being said, let me remind everyone again that the WB6 beta feedback thread is still active and feel free to post any comments about the betas. :)

[Denis W. Veteran]

Hopefully one of the next bugs to be fixed are the blurry Cleartype text rendering I see on these WB6 skin screenshots.

[martin10018]

Yes, you're right. I've tested it yesterday evening. But it has the common "more programs" bug on non-english xp systems. Hope they fix that soon.

[DigitalE]

I really like the redesigned UI in the new version, it's nice and clean and a lot easier to navigate :)

The Classic skin is cool, and it does work very well with WB's recoloring :D

[Danrarbc]

Does it work in 64 bit yet?

Edit: Nope :(
