Hi

Does anyone know how to get Toolbar skinning working again with 4.2 once you have installed XP Service Pack 2? It seems to completely break it, apart from the Go button

Otherwise, anyone know if the Stardock guys are updating WB to fix the problem? AVI skinning still works fine.

Thanks

You shouldn't be using SP2. It's now being released for some time yet

Not as long to wait as you may think. Plus it is so much better than SP1.

From what I have read the majority of differences can be overcome using third party programs. Since the general public doesn't have sp2, is there any reason for stardock to make the released version of it work with sp2. If I was betting I would say they have a version that does work with it, but it is still in testing and not publically released. But I don't know.

have you tried the MSDN forums?

Thats the only issue we are aware of and its probably due to a minor bug somewhere in WB thats been exposed by minor changes to the OS.


Its likely to be resolved before WB 4.3 is released.

I'm a SP2 and WindowsUpdate V5 tester, I noticed a lot of changes with SP2, StyleXP doesn't work with it and i'm sure there's going to be some issues with WindowBlinds. Although StyleXP is nice, Windblinds seem to have more support and updates and more people working on it on a regular basis. So i'm sure WindowBlinds will have a release for it before SP2 officially comes out.

PS. The SP2 RC1(Release Canidate 1) is out now(for Beta Testers only),SP2 should be ready for primetime very soon.

The toolbar problem is the only one I have seen with SP2 RC1 and any of the OD Apps.
