Island Dog Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 The betas for WindowBlinds 6.3 and SkinStudio 6.3 are now available on both Stardock Central and Impulse. This comes at a perfect time as the 2008 GUI Champs starts in just over a month! The most notable feature in this release is the new skinning option for layer blends, and the improved tree view and maximized edit windows in SkinStudio. Other features and improvements in this beta are: * Support for a number of blending modes for layers * Breadcrumb bar text positioning no longer changes depending on if the window is maximized * Do not shift text when button pressed skin option (edit in SKS) * 64 bit has had some tweaks to handle bad sizing of the addressbar * Shadow effect now works on very transparent things like the diamond taskbar clock text. www.windowblinds.net www.skinstudio.net Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/664978-windowblinds-63-skinstudio-63-beta-releases/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Island Dog Posted September 4, 2008 Author Share Posted September 4, 2008 It looks like the list was cleared in Windows, but I don't see how a skin would have done that. Is the list repopulating after using some apps, as I see Paint is there?

neo1911 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Since they arent keen on fixing minimize/maximize aero's animation consistency bug, i am not thinking of renewing my subscription Cheers Stardock Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/664978-windowblinds-63-skinstudio-63-beta-releases/#findComment-589750436 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyarecomingforyou Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 We need new features, we need the numerous bugs finally fixed... And decent skins. I just had a browse and I couldn't see a single skin that would be better for everyday use than Aero. I know it's subjective but most simply aren't very good.

I know it's subjective but most simply aren't very good. Using Vienna Rapture for months now. Even in a productive environment at work. Classy and elegant.
