I just télécharder and install WindowBlinds ™ 7.90 beta on my PC (Windows 8) but I can not activate it, I have disabled my windows firewalls and Avast on my PC but despite this activation is not?? can someone give me a help?

You should see a message if things go wrong.  What message did you see?

 Good Morning Everyone,

I installed WindowBlinds 7.90 beta this morning and so far it is working perfectly.  The new interface works well although I miss being able to change transparency.    I even tried the beta on some legacy blinds and it worked just fine. 

I uninstalled the earlier version of WB before installing this one to avoid any conflicts but tt was kind of a shock to see my system running naked!  No WB??  I can't imagine it and don't want to.   

I know I will probably upgrade to Windows 8 when 8.1 is released but it will be hard as Windows 7 has been rock solid from day one.  I will most definitely be using Start 8 though as I find the new Windows inteface to be harder to navigate than it should be.  Sure seemed like a lot of work to do a simple restart and the people I serve are lost for the most part so I recommend Start 8 to everyone. 

The Stardock team did a great job on WB 7.9.  So far it's working flawlessly (Windows 7, 64 bit).  Thanks for the great work!  It is greatly appreciated. 

I did just notice one strange thing though.  The emoticons on this forum appear in a single line down the page.  To add the "grin" I had to scroll waaay down the page.  LOL 

ok

Thanks, Zubaz.  Not sure how I missed it earlier when I fiddling around with colors but I think maybe it is because transparency and fonts are in light gray.  Got it now though so thanks again.  The emoticons are now displaying correctly too. 

About a month ago I switched from Windows 7 to Windows 8 because i got a great deal at $15 (or so I thought) I was bummed that Windowblinds didn't work with it yet but accepted it. Yesterday I moved back to 7 looking forward ro re-installing Windowblinds but come to find out that because I let object desktop lapse I cannot re-install Windowblinds or Icon Packager even to the last versions I used without paying for Object Desktop . I was offered a discount. Still not happy.

Is WindowBlinds 7.90 / 8 still working with XP ?

No.  WindowBlinds 8 only supports Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Will you be able to skin "Background on folders area" Transparent in Sks 8 ?

just recently installed new windowsblinds 8.. all is fine, but , cant create my own Textures , and explorer backgrounds..

in earliar version 7.4 when we used to click create new from image, a window used to open up for tilling and saving the texture, but doesnt seem to be working in it when i choose image  it does nothing

I have the exact same problem as well.                -- Ace --

May be its beta,, thats why bugs are tend to happen..hope to get the final version soon,, any idea, where the orignal textures are saved, ? couldnt seem to find the path also..

any workaround in mind

I've reproduced this and have alerted the developer.

C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds\Textures

The images are tga files and the .texture files can be opened in notepad to edit settings.

thanks zubaz ,, Performance wise its better and seems fast ,,,lets wait for final version ,, i didnt upgrade to windows 8 untill this came out , once the final version comes out without bugs, i am gonna upgrade to windows 8:) ,

I also found that custom made textures are stored here :C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock\WindowBlinds\Vista Images\Explorer Textures

I love Windows 8 and it works great for me...I just hated the look of it!!!

But Now with Windowblinds 8, Decor 8, Start 8 and Modrenmix I'm one happy boy!!!

Well then, where's that new skin you were working on?
