Because I have done a few installs lately with trying to upgrade and a couple of reformats a couple months ago I am concerned about too many activations. I only recently learned about deactivating the license. Do I need to open a ticket to have a reset done? Different topic but it has to do with trying to install Windowblinds 10 unsuccessfully.

If you have hit the limit and can't install, then you would need to start a support ticket.

I could not get Windowblinds 10 to work on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit laptop. I uninstalled WindowBlinds 7 and installed Windowblinds 10. It did install but I could not apply a skin, the UI would hang for about 40 seconds why trying to apply the skin but no change would take place. I checked the about section and it said that Windowblinds was installed properly but windows desktop manager service was not started. I checked services and it was running and it was set to start automatically. 

I uninstalled again using Revo Uninstaller Pro and reinstalled Windowblinds with the same result. I uninstalled 10 and went back to Windowblinds 7 and it works fine. I am actually in the minority and prefer the look of the old UI. The only reason I tried to upgrade was for the new skins. I made sure to grab those before I uninstalled Windowblinds 10. 

 

I have the same laptop. I uninstalled WB8, rebooted, ran ccleaner, installed WB 10, rebooted and everything works. Also did this with SkinStudio.

I basically did the same except using ccleaner but revo finds any leftovers which I deleted. It is not an issue because I like Windowblinds 7 better.

Sed, there have been a few reports about FF not skinning. I don't use it so wouldn't know first hand.

You're right N, When I wrote that, I obviously didn't have the most current build installed. Mouseover is fine now!

Because WB10 is a new version number, therefore that is a paid upgrade.

Island Dog: DO NOT INSTALL ICONPACKAGER ON WINDOWS 10.  It is not supported, and will cause issues.

 

Is there a future for Icon Packager?

That feature is not available on Windows 10 due to the changes to the OS.

But you can do it in SkinStudio, I think. I know you can add color.
