WB v10.0.1 update:
Just got v 10.0.1
Any changelog for this new version?
Okey, thanks for reply :]
Are there any plans to change it or its impossible? Read anywhere that Win10 is difficult to change....Would be fine if anyone can reproduce that Tor thing too
The Quick Launch not skinned is now fixed in 10.0.1 version! Thank you! thank you!
Merry Xmas!
I noticed the tasbar rightclick isnt yet 'fixed' regarding the height. It still uses the retarded microsoft tablet fat fingers version. Is it possible that this rightclick can also be fixed/reverted to the sane normal version like the rightclick on the desktop?
Other than that, installed without a problem, used the skin perfection and applied without a hitch.
I did notice that, when you align windows in a corner for example, that the windows overlap by 1 pixel or so and that a slight pixel width from the edge of the window is being placed outside the viewable area.
If you need screenshot to show what I mean, let me know.
Screen resolution is 1366 x 768 and about the buttons...I was referring to the one that allows for rebuilding the list etc.
The rebuild list option is back if you download 10.0.1 on the store. Extra button with ... on it next to the apply skin button. In the future this may well be a pretty graphic. 10.0.1 also should ensure it fits on your screen though maximizing it should have done the trick anyway.
Thank you Neil.
Next question: Can I install 10.0.1 over WB10 or do I have to uninstall WB first?
Icons are icons. Microsoft chose to make theirs white which means they will be invisible on a white background. In the past they had a black edge to them which is why they would show up on white but they removed that in Win10.
As usual complaints to Microsoft...
The issue with the WB icon should be fixed in 10.0.1 which is on the store now.
You should be able to install over, though best practice would be to uninstall, reboot and then install.
That's what I thought. This Beta is working flawlessly so far.
I get this error in win10 11082:
Encountered a sharing violation while accessing C:\Program files(x86)\Stardock\WindowBlinds\Screen.exe
What AV app are you using?
Some have issues which can cause installers to fail to work correctly as they have locked files whilst they scan and are scanning slow enough that the installer cannot move or replace the file it needed to.
Was able to resize vertically which makes it a bit more manageable. Skins nicely too. I are lovin' this!
If mean antivirus i dont use anything.. windows own...
Things got a bit interesting this morning. I am running Windows 10 64 bit Pro here. I tried to apply a couple of different WB 7 skins and the taskbar disappeared. They were quite old so that may have cause the issue. I had a Start button and icons but the taskbar was completely transparent. I uninstalled, restarted and reinstalled WB 10 and Start 10 and still had problems. Even the WB 10 preview didn't look right. Finally, I uninstalled Start 10 again and downloaded a new copy from Stardock. I then activated it using the Object Desktop serial number and then reapplied the skin in WB10. It finally brought the taskbar back. I am running Christmas Holidays by Adni18. Oh the joys of beta testing.
Gets interesting doesn't it. WB10 still doesn't feel like a Beta. I'm not seeing any problems at all. Even the resizing is good.
Did the uninstall/reinstall thing to upgrade to the new WB10 update but still no icon in the tray area. Rebooted and all that after reinstall. I am using Windows 10 Pro though (Version 1511, OS Build 10586.29), would that make a difference?
Also, and I know this is a WB10 thread, but SKS 10 beta is also at the Stardock store now. I installed it and it seems to work fine in Windows 10, but what changes were made? Is is safe for use on Windows 7 and 8/8.1?
The problem with the icon was it always showing, not it not showing. Make sure your setting is set correctly and be aware that needs a reboot to take effect.
SKS 10 is safe for Win7/8/10. The changes are just to make it work with WB10 installed and some small UI tweaks.

Neil, the icon is missing (not showing) in the tray area, it is not there at all. WB is in the list in the notification area though where you can turn the icon on and off, but if you turn it on, no icon, it is not there. The problem was never about it always showing, no one ever said that.
Thank you for the info on SKS10, much appreciated.
Forgot to ask though, how do you set a Windows 10 sub-style in SKS10, Substyle Management? There are only Make 7 and Make 8 Default buttons, no 10 at all.
The second beta has resolved my invisible taskbar (second monitor) problem. Well done, Stardock and thank you!
The newest version installed easily and so far all is well. Just so everyone knows, the new beta is under the downloads so go to your account and downloads and you will see it there. GREAT WORK, NEIL! Thanks so much. WB10 looks great and it loaded faster than before.
Please stop these installers asking if I want Fences installing every time... It's ticked by default and BLOODY ANNOYING.
Untick. No thank you. I didn't want it before, I don't want it again.
When these sort of impolite default-ticked annoyances happen it makes me want to not bother...
grrr
