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

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. :)

    • After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
