ODM is very wonky & irrational, has been since its release.  Just opened it & it shows no Stardock apps installed at all, no updates available, no subscriptions (I have active Object Desktop & Wincustomize subscriptions).  The MyAccount page at the Stardock Store always seem to be correct, though.  FWIW.

Uninstalled WB 7.xx, rebooted, installed the latest offering of WB 8.00 which turned out to be 8.06. Doesn't look as though there is a 8.09 update anywhere.  Not on my Stardock account anyway.

I would imagine that they pulled 8.09 everybody because of all the issues it was having. It disappeared from my store listing and Object Desktop Manager too. Wise decision on their part.

You were right, Wiz.  That fixed ODM.  As Tom & werewolf have noted, no 8.09 to be seen there, though.

Because WB 8.09 reported 8.06 even though ODM reported 8.09 (see my previous post), I took the opportunity to uninstall WB and clean the registry. After a reboot, I ran ODM and discovered that WB 8.09 was no longer available! Now I have to reinstall WB 8.06 because Stardock apparently pulled WB 8.09 without any notification.

What a waste of my time...

Followup to my last post: When I attempted to reinstall WB 8.06 using ODM, the installation complained about a decompression error with the TGA files in a blind called "Precision". I aborted the installation and deleted what I believed to be a bad blind, then tried to reinstall. Again the installation complained about the "Precision" blind. Clearly this blind must be packaged with WB 8.06, so I just skipped over the problem files, but it then stumbled over another packaged blind called "Win8".

I then downloaded and installed WB 8.06 from the web site. This was successful, so there is something wrong with the WB 8.06 that is downloaded by ODM.

Again,  I'll ask...

Since WB 8.09 is gone SJN, I am guessing that you are installing 8.06 and getting this issue? If so, uninstall it, run a good registry cleaner or two, reboot and download WB 8.06 it directly from the store and install it that way. ODM seems to have issues too.

Am I the only one having a 1pixel gap in chrome on the left and right frame, when using a windowblinds skin on windows8.1?
Or is there a fix for this yet? 

I updated to 8.09,so far everything seems to be working fine.But it sometimes got stuck.Very angry。

How are you upgrading to 8.09 when it has been removed from ODM and the Stardock store?

My guess, Tom, would be that he got it before it's removal. It isn't in my downloads either. Not that I'd go anywhere near it if it were.

with this or 8.6 ive never had title bar buttons with any internet program

Hope this helps Stardock:

With 8.09 installed, Directory Opus will not launch any more and going back to 8.06 did not help that.

When I unload WB and then launch Directory Opus, it launches fine. Then I can launch WB and until I reboot my machine, Directory Opus keeps launching fine.

So WB is preventing some subsistems of DO from launching, but once lanched, WB does not bother DO any more.
