Just updated through Stardock Central to 3.00c[b].002 hoping it would resolve the problem of no file icons being changed nor being able to change them manually through the file's Properties/Icon/Change Icon utility. After the update was installed, I rebooted when prompted and was greeted by a BSOD. Rebooted again and no problems getting back to Windows (XP SP-2). So, I loaded another icon package and still the file icons remained the same (various icons from both Windows default and previous p...

What is the recommended icon cache size which is located in the "Settings" of IP?

I usually add some simple "click" sounds to the System buttons on the Titlebar to the skins I use most without any problem whatsoever. But tonight I tried adding those same sounds to the "Aura" skin, but they don't work. Anyone else seeing this problem with this skin or any of the other new per pixel WB 5.0 skins? Anyone have a suggested fix to get them to work?

I have a couple of questions about Toolbar icons: 1) Is there an easy way to install a set of Toolbar icons in a WB skin that doesn't have any other than copying the 14 +/- separate image files to the skin's folder and then choosing each one in SkinStudio? I noticed when I download these type of files, they have a ".wba" extension by default. 2) What is the best way to re-colour a set of Toolbar icons? e.g., what program would you suggest to use? Can then be re-colored with SkinStudio? o...

I don't know what causes this, but it is driving me nuts! Every so often, when changing icon packages the "My Network Places" icon won't change. If I restore the Windows default icon set, it reverts to a previous icon from a set (Pixelorama), which I haven't used in a couple of months. Repair Icons doesn't work. Rebooting doesn't work.. nothing seems to work. If I try to change it back to the XP default using the shortcut's "Properties" it shows that the Windows default is already chosen. But ...

It is pretty obvious how one can remove archived versions of IconPackager and SkinStudio, but not so obvious in regard to archived versions of WB. Archived IP versions take up a lot of HDD space and so I generally only keep the last good version and remove all previous ones. I'm assuming that archived versions of WB also require a good amount of space and thus I want to delete all but the last "known good working" version too. How can this be done? and Where are they located? When I look he...

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this problem with WindowBlinds 5.xx and explorer.exe. If I change skins 3 or 4 times via the WB Configuration window and then reboot, I get the proverbial "Ending Process" dialog and I have to manually click on the "End Now" button. If I don't change skins, then there isn't a problem rebooting. Any thoughts on what might be causing this?

In the new "OHMYNitroLite.ip" set, the author accidentally left out the "My Documents" icon. He provided a link to download this individual icon, but I don't know how to add it to the set. Could someone provide step-by-step instructions for adding an icon to an existing IP set? THANKS! 

I noticed that the last two WB beta updates when archived by SDC are only 1K zip files which when opened contain nothing??? I am one who likes to burn the updates to CD-RW for backup and these two files do raise some questions as their usefulness should I need to do a "restore". What's the deal with these 1K .zip files?

This small irritant was mentioned in passing by someone else in another thread and I thought I would bring it up for further possible discussion and to the notice of Stardock. First, this occurred with 4.6 and now with 5.0. More often than not, when I click on the "Start" button to open the Start Menu, the Start Menu "flickers" briefly before being displayed. The phenomena is universal, i.e., it is not skin specific although it doesn't happen 100% of the time, but perhaps 80% of the time. I...

When I try to view any ".icl" file in IconPackager Explorer, as soon as I click on the file in the Windows Explorer tree, the program closes. There are no error messages.... nada; it just closes. Has this problem been reported before? Any suggestions on how to proceed to fix this issue? Version: 3.00i[b].002

This question refers to the "My Toolbars" section in both WB 4.x and 5.0. When I go through the list of Toolbar icon sets, there are quite a number that are named: Default Shell Toolbar Glyphs By: Microsoft Design Team 1) All of them came with a WB skin so why isn't the name of the skin displayed like many of the others that appear in that section? 2) How can I find out what skin these sets belong to, short of loading every skin I have installed? THANKS!

I installed a new ATI Rad. 9550 256 card and now I see that "HyperPaint" can be enabled in the WB Configuration Window in "Basic Settings/Performance". What exactly is "HyperPaint"? and is there any advantage in enabling this?

Somewhere in one of the posts here I think I remember this issue mentioned already but I thought I would give the matter its own thread. Using the latest WB 5.0 Beta, I am seeing "ghost" Titlebars, "magic pink" displayed on them and solid black Menubars as well. This occurs on both WB 5 specific skins as well as all my other WB 4+ skins. Sometimes clicking on the Titlebar will effect its display but not fix it. I e-mailed Stardock tech support and was told that the problem is probabl...

I'm wondering how one can re-install any/all of the Object Desktop programs after a reformat if your license has expired? Since you cannot download anything using Impulse, how is this done... or can it be done? IF it can be done, I would appreciate a step-by-step guide. TIA
