What Would You Like to See in WindowBlinds for Windows 7?

Published on January 27, 2009 By Island Dog In Personal Computing

Now let me make it clear from the start that I’m just looking for feedback on features you would like to see for WindowBlinds in Windows 7. Many people are trying the Windows 7 beta, and through your experiences so far, is there anything different you would like to see WB try to accomplish?

Please be specific and screenshots and mockups would definitely be welcome.

I would like them to fix an ongoing issue with Eztune. A program that changes my monitor’s settings and allows auto rotate. It's made my portrait display. I submitted a ticket on this back in June. It worked on WB ver. 6.03 all versions after that cause Eztune not to work. I don't know who is involved with fixing incompatibility issues. But they don't seem to care about this as they keep rolling out more updates that haven't fixed this. If some one with authority at stardock reads this please look at the ticket I have submitted and put some priority on this.

Some apps are non-standard and need to be excluded.

Better support for using large (120 dpi) fonts and custom size fonts.

Just because this software is not installed on every PC should not be an excuse to exlude it from working with Windowblinds. This software is being used on many HP's, Gateways, Dells, etc. I wouldn't exactly call in "non-standard". Are you involved in the development of Windowblind? If so, Have you seen my submitted ticket regarding this issue? And why hasn't any one been in-touch with me on this? The Tech's that I've talked to can only forward the info to the the developers for further support. So, If you are the almighty challange yourself and see if you can make Eztune compatible with Windowblinds again as it was in ver. 6.03 and prior.

When I say non-standard I mean that the app doesn't apply skins as defined by Microsoft; it does something different. So WB tries to skin it . . and can't. WB can't be coded to handle every crazy thing some developer tries to do. Sorry. I'll look into your case though, OK?

I wish there were some way of changing the fonts and skinning the tabs in FF3

I agree with the first part of #9. I understand that the window itself needs to be square/rectangular, but why can't the frame around the window be something like this:

WB supports that. But how would it be usable?

Also . . skinning the command prompt.

Done.

LOL! Actually looks good!

Unfortunately, the spelling in the command prompt is correct. Sooooo.....That could NEVER be Zu's!

Seriously?

I'd like to see WB and all of SD's apps put their documentation, etc. in just one place.

Everyone I've spoken with is unhappy about how SD apps deposit stuff in "My Documents" etc.

Apart from the files it puts in Programs, it should have it's own Directory and stay there. SD's dociments (etc.)

are not "My Documents".

Art is art silly boy. The usage would be purely a function of the mind and ultimatly that is what matters most.
