Check out your Object Desktop, StarDock Central accounts folks, newest release is out. Some issues that have been discussed in forums the last few days (week or so) have been addressed. We now have our Tray Icon back. The "My" has been removed from
our panels, leaving it as "Skins", etc. Taskbar not skinning on occasion: fixed. TaskPanel repaint: fixed. Make sure and update! Happy Skinning!!

Just keeps getting better. Everything seems to be working well. Great job!
I still have a question about the left side scroll button though. It seems that you have to be on the right side of the arrow in order for it to work properly. Is this happening to anyone else?

thanks for the update.

CS2 active/inactive windows now functioning correctly, however, CS2 now seems to be hogging alot more memory...i could have upto 20 jpg images open at once in CS2 with no performance issues (100% efficiency on all windows), but now, with only two jpg images open my 'efficiency' (bottom of the active window) drops down to 94%, with eight windows open 74%....just switching between two open windows takes some time...

my only problems so far...all the rest seems great

Well, now I hadn't noticed that one. I always grab and drag the scrollbar.

Skin seemed to load a lot faster -- I did have to uninstall the previous version in order to get the update work, otherwise I got an error telling me the installation failed. I was able to install it though!

I had no problem installing over what I had. I went through my Stadock Central browser.

Can't update to 4.95. Gives me an error loading wb.xml
I updated Stardock Central to 2.19b just prior to installing the updates to 4.95. Skin Studio professional gives me the same error

Luis, I had the same problem: can you try to uninstall the 4.90g versions and make an install from SD Central?

I've been waiting for x64 support, and now we have it... or do we? As soon as I installed this it said to reboot, which is pretty typical, so I did. I didn't get windowblinds, but I was blessed with an extraordinarily long bootup time and an error message telling me that I have to reboot my computer before I can run windowblinds when I logged on. It doesn't matter how many times I reboot, or if I uninstall it and reinstall it and reboot again, no WB5 joy for me

I have the same problem as Darrian. After having installed WB 4.95[b].008 and restarted a message pops up telling med that WindowBlinds cannot start. It asks me if I have restarted after installing (which i have). I didn't get a noticable longer bootup time like Darrian. I too am running Windows XP x64 Edition.

same here guys with X64.................Bootup time is fine..


But WB will not startup....another dodgy release.

I get the download error as well. I think I'll wait 'til tomorrow for a fix before I muck about with what's currently working.

We are looking into the install issues (both the SDC issue and the issue with 64 bit XP not working on reboot)

Any news on the skins not applying in the newer betas in comparison to the first alpha which worked fine?
