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

Yes, there is a new UI coming. :)

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, 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 :)

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.

Got the new update, however nothing seems to have changed :(

This is the latest update info I got ...

[Please note WindowBlinds 5.90+ releases require existing versions of WindowBlinds to be

uninstalled and Stardock Central 2.46 Build 154 or later to install.]

WindowBlinds 5.91 beta

-------------------------------

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

-Added new Classic skin

-Updated Molten

-Lots of additional internal work and tweaks

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

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 :(

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

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

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

You know you are talking about a beta TEST version, aren't you? :angry:

WindowBlinds 5.91 beta

-------------------------------

-Added new Classic skin

Is this for Vista only? Anyone got a screenshot?

:) it was late when I posted (nearly 3am) so my mind wasnt at its sharpest, as said though I still love their products :) After another reboot this morning the new gui is there, looks pretty good :)

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

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

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. :)

    • Threads scales past half a billion users, brings deeper community and feed controls by Fiza Ali Meta has announced Threads crossing a major milestone of 500 million monthly active users. And, at the heart of this growth sits something simple: communities. From books to basketball, parenting to music, Threads says its rise has been powered by people clustering around shared interests and, in turn, giving the platform its identity. In response, the platform is expanding its Communities feature beyond beta and introducing a set of new tools designed to make participation easier and more engaging. A redesigned Communities Hub will now appear in the main navigation menu, allowing users to jump between groups without leaving their feed. Each community will also receive a distinct Community Icon, giving them clearer visual identity and making them easier to recognise across the platform. Then there’s Community Progress, which is a kind of live gauge showing how close a topic is to becoming a full-fledged community, alongside guidance on how users can contribute to its development. In addition, Meta is also expanding its Community Champions programme, recognising more users who actively contribute to community engagement. And then things go more local; Local Communities is already available in 100 countries, including North America, South America, Asia, and Europe but are now rolling out with native-language tags starting in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The platform is also expanding Live Chats to more communities in the coming weeks, adding features such as co-hosting and the ability to quote moments directly into users’ feeds. Beyond communities, Meta is tightening the loop between users and their feeds. Earlier this year came "Dear Algo," a feature that lets people tell Threads what they want more or less of. Now it’s being paired with a new tool, "Your Algo." It allows people to adjust how frequently certain topics appear, with options lasting one, three, or seven days. Meta says these preferences remain private and can be managed alongside “Dear Algo” in a unified settings hub. The rollout begins in the US, Canada, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Finally, the company says these changes are part of an ongoing effort to refine Threads based on user feedback and that further updates will continue as the platform evolves.
    • You pay just $100 per TB with this rare 4TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD deal by Sayan Sen SSDs and GPUs are incredibly hard to get nowadays due to high pricing. Discounts are quite rare which is why we report on them as soon as we spot a good deal. For example AMD's new 9070 GRE was finally up for sale at a very good price of just $500 thanks to a special coupon. Sadly that deal is gone but if you happen to be looking for a 4TB NVMe SSD and can spend around $400 there is a really good offer on sale that you should not miss out on as TeamGroup's 4TB G50 model is on sale for that that price which means you are only paying $100 per TB, a very good deal in the current market (purchase link under the specs table down below). The TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe SSD is a PCIe Gen4 drive and as such it promises to deliver sequential read speeds of up to 5,000 MB/s, helping accelerate game loading, file transfers, and everyday computing tasks. Since this is a 4TB drive you can use it for a gaming library to take advantage of things like DirectStorage. The SSD features an InnoGrit controller and SLC caching technology to support consistent performance. An ultra-thin, patented graphene heatsink is included to aid in heat dissipation. Get it at the link below: Team Group T-FORCE G50 4TB Internal SSD (TM8FFE004T0C129): $449.99 + $50 off w/ promo code SSF69668, limited offer => $39.99 (Sold and Shipped by Newegg US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I agree. I also think Phil stayed too long. They should definitely fire whoever thought all a console platform needed was Call of Duty, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout to survive. Asha and crew are still saying they need more Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. They simply don't get it.
