Really nice skin, I love it. The only inconvenience is that it won't let me watch TV with my Hauppauge PVR-150 and PVR-250, it shows a grey window and same thing in fullscreen. So I've reverted to the old arrow theme and everything was back to normal.

i have noticed that these new big start buttons manage to show up as a flickering item in most games that makes it really annoying when trying to play a game to have a spot in the corner flashing the round edges of the start button.... i didnt know where else to post...but stardock....fix it....OD goes before my games do

This is really neat.. Love it.

It'd be perfect if it had a thin taskbar substyle.. Hopefully we'll see this in future updates!

Great work!!

Hi again,

I finally found out that the problem with vertical taskbar is obvious because of the big start button.

If the taskbar wouldn't pop up on top of the startmenu the upper part of the start button would be hidden behind the startmenu.
So the skin only works properly for people using the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
May Mike could make a variation of the skin for ppl that don't use the taskbar at buttom with a smaller button , eventhough the startbutton looks amazing this way.

Wow, the oversized Startbutton looks great! Finally a skin that replaces my old favorite.
Unfortunately, the Skin has some problem with a double sized taskbar. The shadow of the start-orb doesn't extend to the second row and the popup menus from Freelaunchbar (www.freelaunchbar.com) show behind the taskbar instead of in front of it.

hherbzilla: The start button is vertically centered on the taskbar (as long as it's only one row high), so it should be in the same position whether the bar is on top or bottom. Try locking your taskbar so you'll lose the sizer bar and see more overhang.

Etienne, oOSHUUMIOo, and 2much: Those sound like problems with the WindowBlinds beta and the newly added support for oversized start buttons. You may want to report them in the WindowBlinds support forum here.

JoeWang: Unfortunately, WindowsXP only allows for one Start button image, regardless of the taskbar height or position. All I could do was try to make it look as good as possible under those various circumstances.

Everyone: Thanks for the feedback.   At this point, I'm just trying to make this as accurate a replica as possible. Down the road sometime, I may add some substyles to cater to some of these requests.

I really REALLY appreciate you keeping this skin up to date Mike. It is the only way for us mortals to get an idea of how the new features are implemented.
Thank you thank you thank you. Nice skin BTW.

The last two builds of WB 5 seem to have broken the animation on the start button. Prior to those builds, the start button would enlarge when the mouse pointer hovered over it, then revert to smaller size. That's no longer happening. It just stays full-size and can be seen poking up (I hide my taskbar) at the bottom edge of the screen.

LarryH, it was never intended to only appear on mouse over. It just wasn't fully implemented yet in the older WB builds. The bug here appears to be that the start button overlay isn't hidden when the taskbar is. Hopefully that will be fixed in the near future.

quick "bug" report: the new shut off dialog is nice, but it only works with english windows xp versions. in any other language it seems to overlap the font in where it says "shut off computer" screenshot: http://members.chello.at/irid1um/shutoff.jpg
also: watching TV on my computer in windowed mode will prevent the tv image from being shown. this seems to be an common issue with several programs, I'm using DScaler but someone else already reported that the hauppauge software can't display windowed tv video either.
cheers

IRID1UM, are you using the latest version of WB5 from Stardock Central? The white "Turn off computer" text that Windows displays should be completely hidden, regardless of which language it is in.
