The Quicklaunch icons went under Startbutton

If it's a WB thing well i'd like to know it too
Any thoughts/ideas?

I was just wondering if anyone's got this happening...

I downloaded and installed/applied JJ latest WB submission (V!VA), and noticed that the 'extra' menu in the startpanel was acting a bit odd.
Instead of some long boring explanation, here's a couple of screenies:





It's as the content of the left side of the startpanel is being copied/mirrored to that menu, and that menu only.
It happens only with that menu, and only with this skin.
It's not something that's is bugging me, or d...

Hey all! 

I'm trying my hand at a WB, but have run into a problem.  I'm following SKOriginals "A Complete Guide to the Start Panel", which is fantastic, but I don't know how to create an alpha channel in GIMP.  I also can't get the .tga files I do create to open in SkinStudio. 

Any suggestions??

I have actually had this error for awhile but didn't ask about it since it didn't do this with all skins.  Now though I noticed it with the new release from Stardock called Stardust so I'm wondering if its something on my desktop doing it or if anyone knows what might fix it.
I'm on Vista Home Premium.  I have provided screenshots.  One using Stardust after its been applied and I re-booted the computer, and then another shot with a WB that works fine, iPhonix (which was applied a...

I've noticed that whenever I apply a non-vista skin (Namely Xenomorph), the next time I restart my computer the DWM service doesn't start.  Not a big problem, all is fine once I start the service manually.  Running Vista Business with most current updates.

Have tried the apply/restart test with other skins (Vista/WB6 compatible) and the problem does not exist.

Hi everybody.
I'm have two screens, and i use the UltraMon wallpaper manager, that supports different wallpapers on each screen. Problem is, Windows Blinds 6 has a wallpaper manager too, wich does not support dual screen. Anyway i want to turn the WB manager off. How do i do that?

I just first want to say I have been a customer of Stardock for a very long time. I think Stardock is at the Vanguard when it comes to customization and program management. Thank you for your work! You give your customers a lot for their money!

I have been having trouble recently with a popup when I start windowblinds.

It states...

Windowblinds is unable to start.
The most likely reason for this is your PC has a .CMD file running at startup which has locked WBs activation file. 
Run msconfig & remove this from startup and then reboot.  WindowBlinds should then work fine.

OK... I tried that.  I tried to find a .CMD file and could not find a ".CMD" file anywhere.

Please help.

I have submitted Maja Pearl.wba to the gallery 4 times in the span of a week.

Each time I see it in moderation on my skins page.

Each time, I check my email but there is no notification of it.
