Windowblinds 6 beta is available via SDC

[NoLiMiT06]

I bought ObjectDesktop about 3 weeks ago and I don't have access to the beta. I even have the "show pre-release" checked :(

[NienorGT]

You have the latest Stardock Central?

if yes email [email protected]

If you have WindowBlinds 5 installed, then uninstall it and WB6 should show up in Stardock Central. Let me know if you run into any problems. :)

Will it be possible to edit a sidebar skin in XP is using Alky for Applications (a.k.a. VAIO) and the Windows Sidebar?

This is another WB6 preview video. Shows many of the same features as the last video, but this is running on XP for those who haven't (or don't intend to) upgrade to Vista. :)

You need the OD subscription to access the beta, but if you purchased WindowBlinds in May of this year, then the upgrade will be free. :)

If I buy Windowblinds 5.51 today, will i get a free upgrade to WB 6 when its released or do i have to pay for the upgrade?

Anyone who purchased WindowBlinds after February 1st, 2007 will receive the upgrade for free. :)

Is there a big difference as to what WB6 can do on XP and what it can do on Vista?
