WindowBlinds 10.8.9.1 Changelog

WindowBlinds 10.8.9.1 is a culmination of two prior betas.

Updated from 10.88 to 10.8.9.1

• Fix to work around a problem with start buttons having buttons go under them and potentially being made much less wide with that MS patch to add in the News and Weather link on the taskbar when that setting is set to be hidden
  Forum post: https://forums.stardock.com/505189/get;3808445
• Should fix the glass area at the top of maximized explorer windows not repainting right and store windows now always use glass frames on entire edge vs part

WindowBlinds 10.88 Changelog

• Resolves an issue with items on the links bar (when set to show on the taskbar) when in light taskbar mode picking the wrong theme part.
• Fixes the version of Windows shown on the about page (note 20H2 shows a number that's slightly lower - this is an OS issue).
• Fixes an issue with the previews on the transparency page in WB config screens when in dark mode not resetting the sliders when clicked.
• Addresses an issue with Firefox (if set to skin) after going fullscreen (F11).
• Should someone be using custom firefox themes that allow the browser to be skinned without the titlebar having to be turned on, they can force WB to theme this by adding the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Stardock\WindowBlinds\WB5.ini\WBLiteFX\AllowFFAlways = 1
• Updated WB build with a small fix so the 'do not play sound option' checks the right place (Registry vs an ini)
• A fix for an issue with the new weather applet on the taskbar not respecting the theme background 
• Fix for the taskbar buttons not always painting correctly
• A fix for some drop-down boxes now showing highlight colors and using a grey background instead of COLOR_WINDOW
• Extended options for wallpaper alignment modes to include Fill, Fit and Span
• Fixed issue with wallpaper changer not changing sometimes
• A fix for a possible explorer crash on later OSes sometimes

Firefox and Thunderbird still fail to skin on one of every four or five times I run them.  When they skin, they skin normally.  But they don't always skin.

Skinned Firefox:

Firefox when skinning fails:

I can confirm what kruddykan saying, when installing the new version of WB 10.89, there is no prompt to uninstall the existing version and reboot.  All that happens is it does the installation and then telling you it need to reboot.

There was a small problem though once it was installed.  For some reason the Opera Browser would not skin for me as it did on version 10.84.  Not even the Per Application change could make it work, quiet not sure why.

Another note is that the drop down menu's in Firefox Version 89.02 (latest) would not skin either, which was possible when using Firefox Version 88.0.1 (the frame still get skinned when the box is ticked to 'Allow WindowsBlind to skin Firefox (titlebar mode needs to be enable and restart) so atleast that part is working).  Although that might be because Firefox done some changes that prevents that from happening, just thought I mention it though since it been possible before.  And not seen it mentioned elsewhere either, so not sure if you were aware.

I am on Windows version 21H1 (OS Build 19043.1052)

Just installed it and it didn't work.

I tried using the purge tool for WB but that didn't work either.  Got two RegSvr32 warnings boxes though:

First one:
The module "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\WindowBlinds\WBSrv.exe" was loaded but the entry-point DllUnregisterServer was not found.

Make sure that "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\WindowBlinds\WBSrv.exe"is a valid DLL or OCX file and try again.

Second one:
The module "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\WindowBlinds\WBCore.exe" was loaded but the entry-point DllUnregisterServer was not found.

Make sure that "C:\Program Files (x86)\Stardock\WindowBlinds\WBCore.exe"is a valid DLL or OCX file and try again.

No screen shoots since it was not possible to take any during the purge. (And I did the purge twice)

For the moment I have reverted back to WB version 10.84 since that one does what I want it to.
