Hello,
when I'm using windows blind 11.04 on a windows 11 24h2, either visual studio 2022 or metaeditor from metaquotes doesn't show the file save dialog when requested.
The problem disappear when I'm activating the default theme.

Hello, and thank you for your fast answer, where can I find the 11.06 ? When I'm asking WB to update, it says it's already up to date in 11.04 version ?

Thank you.
I have also renewed the licence, uninstalled and reinstalled it, and now it's working fine for new themes.
I have seen old themes like on Motif, which is logically not working perfectly ( I let you guess... the file explorer doesn't open ... ).
From your own experience, would it require a lot of adaptations to work again ?

Motif

I checked Motif, it was released back in 2000, yes? I don't think that will work with today WB11. Need lots of work to make it so.

Thank you,

I'm trying to use window blinds 11, v. 11.06, to skin a 20-year-old COM application in Windows 11. When I do this, the title bar appears to have a partial duplicate of itself and the normal buttons on the right side of the title bar don't appear. This app was written in Visual Basic 6. Any ideas? Thanks...

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Your issue only happen on this specific app? And it also happen with any WB skin applied?

Thank you.

It doesn't happen with the "default theme," which I assume is no theme at all. It happens with all of the other skins I've tried, even Windows Classic. This app is the only one that clearly shows a partially duplicate title bar, but other 32-bit/VB6 apps have similar issues with the title bar icons missing. With some skins, a complete second title bar is initially displayed. If I resize the app, however, the effect on the title bar changes, and the duplicate may become blank.

I tried disabling title bar skinning in the options, and got 3 copies of the title bar instead of 2.. lol. Is there anything else I can try?

The only issue I'm seeing is the title bar. The rest of the app appears normal.

Thanks...

Upon closer investigation, the form caption / title bar is MISSING when skinned - the piece which is being duplicated is actually the top line of the form content. Any ideas? : )

Never mind - a simple vb6 app works fine. The app in question intercepts some of the Windows messages, has custom form resize routines, and is clearly interfering with some of the things WindowBlinds needs to do.  So it's just this app (and the others like it).  Thanks...

Issue with using OneNote 365 trying to export a OneNote page as something else.

I do not get the Save pop-up window that allows me to set the file name and location.

If I unload WindowBlinds 11 then it works. 

Excluding OneNote (Ignore the application) does to help.

I've seen this behavior with other apps but can't recall the specific one right now.

snapshot of operation:

what I should get for a pop-up but do not:

Your WB version is two years out of date.  If you update to 11.06 it should resolve your issue.

When I go into WB and do About > Check for Updates    it says I'm up to date.

Do I download the  11.06 and install from that?  Will it update and keep my settings that way?

Thanks!

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. WB11.06 should be available in your account product download page: https://store.stardock.com/myaccount/products. Unless you was using ObjectDesktop and your OD Sub expired. 

Thank you,
Basj,

Cannot find an WB 11.06 version.  
I can download Object Desktop where you said but there is not option there to do an upgrade to 11.06 (or anything) like Windowsblinds 11.  Just Object deskto and Object desktop has no upgrade option for WB.

In Windowblinds > about > check for update it still says 11.02 and that I'm up to date.

 

Do you have a link directly to WD 11.06.?

 

Mick

Goggled and found a link to 11.06. During the install there was no prompt to uninstall my existing WB version like the instructions said.

No reboot asked for but rebooted.  Worked.  I have WB 11.06 installed and the original problem with OneNote Export pop-up works now.

Thanks!

Mick
