wOOt! I like it, I like it a LOT!

That Startmenu warped-in parts-thingy in the beginning of the video was Killerkool.

Very cool indeed. 

Just  a question, with all the new betas coming out, and no standardized updater out yet, Should we uninstall WindowFX 4 before installing WindowFX 5 or just install over top of it ? Same thing i guess for current WindowBlinds beta? This info in the announce posts would be helpful as well.

Thanks

I installed mine on top of FX4.

I see the the start menu animation is only for Win 7 not for Vista. Win7 on my laptop, Vista on my desktop.

Rosco_P advises uninstalling WFX4, rebooting and doing a clean install of WFX5.  FWIW.

This is sooooo cooool!

the beta installer automatically uninstalled WFX4 before it installed, so no worries for you guys.  holy crap this is such a fantastic update i love it

Thanks for the update ID!

Very nice.  Been missin' WFX.  Thanks, SD.

I love it, I love it, I love it.

  I think I like it! LOL

Love it!

BUT got my first BSODs ever with Windows 7 thanks to this little bitty. 8(

I assume it's a conflict between the beta and some of the other Stardock customizations I run.  Here's the lowdown:

Select custom animation effects for anything but default, or the Start Menu, etc.  Move the item in question.  BSOD.

I'm running Windowblinds (latest version) with everything transparent, a different animated Deskscape on each of three monitors, Fences semi-transparent on the desktop, ObjectDock with at least one dock on each monitor, and Rainmeter with transparencies.

All of the items above play wonderfully together, but add this beta to the mix...crasharooski.  Note that momentum and some other windowFX seem to work fine.  

The only common thread  to the crashes is the animation option, which would cause the shape of windows/start menu to change.

The bug is repeatable without fail on my machine (Windows 7 x64 btw). 

Excalpius: What graphics card do you have and what did the BSOD screen say? Are you using recent drivers?

What do you have to do to cause the issue?  If it opening specific windows, or any window and is it at the start of the animation or when it finishes.

I suspect the BSOD is a video driver bug.
