Edit: nevermind 

Before anyone asks, I should point out that this build does not support Windows 7.

There is a SKS 6.4 beta to go with it which exposes the new features.

awesome....i see no sks update though...hhmmmmmm......running impulse

Click on the Stardock Orb (upper left corner) and select "view prerelease versions"....

 hmmmm did that...let me check again.........nope not seeing it....hhmmmmm

restarted computer...still not there theres somethign strange going on in the neighborhood

Was working fine until I rebooted, seems to disable DWM and force basic mode for me. Unloading and reloading Windowblinds does the trick but I have to do it every single time I reboot my PC.

ok waited a few hours and still no update in my impulse for sks wanna check out the new skinning areas

SkinStudio 6.40 BETA is published.

Please use this thread for any issues.

Awesome.

Are there any skins that show off these new features? Or do I just have to enable them in a preference file somewhere?

We have to build them first

1°) Cool to see that lots of things are done for XP ...

2°) not speaking about features but updating: if by any chance, WindowBlinds is running when you update, at he next boot there's systematicly an error message that "WindowBlinds is missing a core dll file WBLIN.DLL. Please reinstall WindowBlinds"

As Impulse is not proposing to download and archive the new version (like SDC did), the only way to do it, is to go back to re install previous version, then to don't get the same error message, unable WindowBlinds to start with Windows by activating "Windows Classic", then reboot, then update, then reboot again ... With the time needed by Impulse to load and verify everything's, the update has taken about ½ hour for me   . Should it be possible to fix that ? (it's not a trouble relative to the last version, it's something which came with Impulse ...)

3°) SDC gave the opportunity to "Prompt to select where Start Menu shortcuts are created" . It would be a minimum that impulse would do the same ... (not specific to WindowBlinds but to any of apps)
