"Windows XP and Windows Vista Home Premium >> Child windows not skinned in Opera, WinRAR, MP3Tag and Command Prompt."

- Command Prompt:

> "The skinning of the command prompt will hopefully be available in a future release. This has been on the list of features to reintroduce to WindowBlinds."

>"I haven't heard anything specific back from the developers, but they do have the information I sent over as well as the update I had sent them.

If you are experiencing bugs, I would just leave these apps in the Per Application (exclusion) list until they have been specifically reported as compatible in the build changes log. (click the history button within Stardock Central)"

Is there a way to skin the command prompt in Vista with Windowblinds 6? I remember this feature available in past versions for XP, but not finding it in Vista anywhere...any tricks for this?

Thanks in advance!

The command prompt is not skinned by design, it's not a bug. This was an issue with enabling per-pixel skins and having transparency far outweighs command prompt skinning. I don't know if/when it will be addressed, but it's something that is known.

The best recommendation I can give is to use eConsole, which will be skinned by WindowBlinds. :)

      The problem isn't with Epic, it's with the platform holders like Steam and Nintendo, they should be a lot more strict in their review process.

    • Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with easier language model discovery and in-app search by Paul Hill Microsoft has released Visual Studio Code 1.125, its latest weekly release. This week, the company has focused on discovering and installing extra language models via the Marketplace; searching the web and securely browsing over remote connections without leaving VS Code; choosing how long VS Code waits before installing extension updates; and delivering managed Copilot settings through existing device management tooling. In older versions of VS Code, extensions could contribute their own model providers, but to find these extensions, you needed the right tags to search for in the Extension view. Now, the Language Models editor gives you an Install Model Providers button that opens the Extensions view, which is filtered to extensions that contribute model providers, making it easier to find and install them. Once you install a provider, its model will appear in the model picker. If you use the integrated browser much, you can now look up information without leaving VS Code by typing a query into the integrated browser’s address bar. It will use your configured search engine, the same way a standalone browser does. You can use workbench.browser.searchEngine to pick a search engine. When the browser is opened in a remote workspace, it's now possible to proxy HTTP(S) traffic via the remote connection. This allows you to connect to any ports or services that can only be accessed from the remote machine. If you read our coverage from two weeks ago about VS Code 1.123, you might have seen that extension updates have a two-hour delay as a safety measure. In this update, Microsoft is giving you the ability to configure the time of the delay. You can find it under extensions.autoUpdateDelay. Finally, with this update, admins can deliver managed GitHub Copilot settings through native device management (MDM) channels on Windows and macOS, in addition to account-based enterprise settings files. Settings delivered via MDM appear as policy-enforced in VS Code and can’t be overridden locally. Future updates will extend the supported policy keys across Copilot surfaces. You can download the update from the Visual Studio Code website now.
