On a slightly messed up note:

I uninstalled 8.09 and rebooted and re-installed 8.06, but some components of 8.09 did not completely uninstall. So now 8.06 identifies itself as 8.09 and Direcory Opus works again.

Firefox seems to be working also. Titlebars and all are working fine. So far.

Funny, but I thank the lord for these favors.

Also getting the "Invalid image list" message in Skype, but only when clicking on the first menu "Skype".  Also right click menus in Skype have the menu choices tightly scrunched together on top of each other.

Also had an issue with installation.  It wouldn't take my product key.  But, it did validate my account via the online option.

When trying to update WB and WFX through Object Manager, I'm asked for my serial code and e-mail.

I have also tried downloading from my account downloads with the same results.

Click, and I get an error code 202. Thank God for system restore. Guess I'll not be updating for awhile.

Anyone else with this problem?

Updated to 8 8.09 and Zakbat xplorer2 will not open.  Reverted back to 8 8.06 and xplorer2 Pro version 2.5.0.4 x64 is working fine.

howdy all and merry christmas/happy holidays.  I realize that support is off for the holidays, but this is probably a stupid question anyway

I'm running Win 7 on this machine and my current WB version is 7.42.  Is this the latest version for a Win 7 machine or should I be running WB 8.xx?  I figured that WB 8.xx was for Win 8.1.

Thanks,

David

Actually, the latest version for Win7 is 8.06 (Windows 7 Edition).  The 8.06 installer knows your OS & installs the correct files.

And Happy Holidays to you, as well.

Where did you read that at? 

There is no distinction between a Windows 7 version and a Windows 8 version. The latest version of Windowblinds is for 7 and 8. Will be that way going forward until support for 7 is dropped.

The installer will know if you use 7 or 8. The file you download is the same either way.

Tom, that info would be in the "about" section of the WB Config window.

Also the Systray Tooltip, Tom.  Miracle of miracles.

Understood, but 8.06 was not just for Windows 7, works on Windows 8/8.1 just fine. WB 8.09 is also for Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 (but evidently with LOTS of issues). It should never have been released before a major holiday, especially if there was to be no support available for over two weeks after releasing it.

On Windows 8, it'll say 8.06 (Windows 8 Edition).      

I should prolly start a new thread about the strange things that WB does on windows 8.1. But I don't think I should bother seeing as all issues I have reported lately have been ignored by Stardock.

Take it as it is, folks.

Version 8.09 is not showinf me not my stardock account or in OD manager ? even have it set to show beta's ? not sure whats going on there
