I would very much like to upgrade, but I won't until there's an available version of SkinStudio. The only thing I want to do (and I want to do it really bad) is give my skin on XP the blurred glass effect. I never create skins, I usually just modify them ever so slightly to my tastes. I can't justify the cost of buying SkinStudio, and am very grateful to Stardock for providing a free version. I just need that version available for the new WB format. As soon as it is, I'll upgrade to WB6.

Umm WB6 provides blurring in XP so if a skin makes use of that effect you can use it with WB6. I'm sure SkinStudio will be released soon as its already been in beta for version 6 so I see no reason to wait especially if you already use WB5 which didn't have blurring on XP.

WB6 : still giving me problem, even with the effort of neil still having problems, sometimes min, max close button dissapear. I should waited and read all the comments first before i jumped on buying WB6. I'll post a SS to stardock once I encounter it again....

Chuckles..
Zubaz, I ran into another lady named Anne at least Anne a while back online.. She always griped that I had her "name".....

Wierd.. and sadly NO my name is not really Anne Marie, Its just a name from a game I play and I started using it online along with another one of my older "names"

Sorry for the conicidence *chuckles and gives cookies*


And sorry for the earlier irrelavant post *hopes I didn't start anything, chuckles* heh

No probs. Went like a lamb   

No need to apologize for good memories.  But thanks for the cookies!

mmm cookies...

Have been running the betas and installed WB6 yesterday. Everything's working as it should so far, except for the IntelliPoint issue Neil pointed out, but I can live with that. Hope it gets fixed though.

Other than that, kudos to the WB6 team.

Upgraded yesterday via SDC no problem, went smoothly did my backup first tho just in case!! Thanks Stardock

I have a dual boot pc and it works great with both vista and xp, I love it!

I'm Lovin' it  

hate to say it but I think there are some memory issues. When loading and unloading wb, i notice a longer delay that what I have been used to. Upwards of 40 secs.. I am also getting more memory related errors now since 5.92((?) it doesnt feel as clean as the earlier beta.

Still a nice product...

Ya I am getting wierdness with min and max on my blinds too. I get ghost images of the buttons that linger on the spot where the dialog box was. Ill restore the dialog box then reduce it again and the ghost image is gone. Im using the Leo skin(nice skin btw) and the nice colored buttons sometimes loose their colors. this is an XP box with current patches etc...

Does anyone know how to apply the Sidebar? I'll be damned if I can figure out how! Not that it matters too much; DesktopX comes with it's share of good sidebar widgets to use.

.-= The Reaper Man =-.

I un-installed WB 5, backed up all my skins, (in two places ), and installed the new WB6 on my Vista 64 bit system and no problems so far except that the sidebar will not update but it really doesn't matter. So far so good. Now just waiting for an update to Icon Packager so I can use that again. Good work Stardock!!! Very nice upgrade!!!

work fine for me
