If yours says that then it has not been updated properly.

Can you uninstall, reboot and then reinstall.

How did you install originally?  From standalone installer, or via ObjectDesktopManager?

Brad had me run a purge tool, reboot, and reinstall WindowBlinds. I chose one of the default skins and rebooted again for good measure; didn't change any other settings. It didn't change the results—Firefox Developer Edition and Waterfox both still crash immediately.

I ran the SD Support Tool and sent the results to Brad in the hope that it will assist in reproducing the issue.

I can make do with standard Firefox for now, since I figured out how to run two instances simultaneously (with the -no-remote command line parameter); one with my Waterfox profile and one with my Developer Edition profile. Still would really like to see this fixed soon.

Quoting benmanns,




Quoting knuddibeier,



Bei mir tritt das gleiche Problem mit Firefox auf. Scheinbar haben die Programmierer gar nix gefixt sondern einfach die 8.1 nach langer Zeit einfach so rausgehaun. Firefox crasht gleich nach dem ich Firefox gestartet hab.



Translation: Same problem occurs here with FF. Seems like the programmers did not fix anything at all, just thrown out 8.1 after a while.

FF does crash right after i start it 

 

 

benmanns: I wonder what happend to my reported chrome issue...is chrome to powerfull?
I just dont understand why you cant find a solution to the problem or get in contact with the developers to solve the pixel gap issue.
If i use WB im kinda forced to one of those lesser browsers to have a decent experience on my OS 



The pixel gap issue IS fixed with Chrome as long as you have a modern graphics card (DX11 capable).  If your card is DX9 it will remain.

If it is still there then please uninstall WB, Reboot (Critical), and reinstall WB as it may be some files have not been replaced.

awesome will try that

We have an update in internal testing which should address firefox developer edition crashing and other derivatives based on the beta firefox 37.

I believe this will be slipstreamed vs having a different version, but I will post here when it is ready.

Neil, as usual, you are awesome. Thanks for all you do.

I've updated twice now from the stardock store and mine still says version 8.06

Have you tried running a register clean up after uninstall before reinstalling

Just FTR, Neil's professionalism is second to none.  He's a gentleman in the truest sense of the word.  Fourteen years I've been observing here, he's never once been anything but.

I have just checked here and see no issues with Opera 28 and WB 8.1.  The titlebars seem to be skinning just fine.  Could you contact support@stardock.com so they can collect some more information please.

I can not reproduce that issue. Sometimes it's there, sometimes not. Often it appears when I am closing Opera for 1 or 2 times.

More information I do not have, sorry for that. Have to unload an reload WB manually. That's really not the sense of the program.^^

 

In general I am happy with WB. Hope the information helps.

knuddibeier gerade wird ein update intern getestet das eventuelle Fehler mit der FF developer Version behebt, ruhig Blut bis dahin

Oh are you seeing this when applying a WB skin with opera open?

If you have switched from the OS skin to a WB skin you will need to close all instances of Opera and open new ones.  This is due to their sandboxing system.  This also applies to Google Chrome.  Switching from a WB skin to another WB skin does not require that.

Well I also am a longtime window blinds and Stardock user and a really upset about the issue in not seeing the bar in Firefox, on top. I am using windowblinds 8.1 and problem is still not fixed. It's beginning to seem like a waste of money to me also.
