to everyone:
I excluded the list of stuff i had to exclude, yz dock was among them, and it worked just fine. It had some glitches with desktopX but i made sure i followed every procedure i need to do in order to accomplish a satisfying result.
I rebooted my pc and everything works perfectly fine. The files i excluded arent showing up in the 'file exclusion' list, but they are excluded from iblend alright.
TIP:
Since i've been playing with this app for a little while now, i noticed that once you exclude a file name (.exe) and you "<" move it to the "opened windows" section and then move it back ">" to the "title bar" area , was keeping the file exclusions intact.
to Siwu:
I may be wrong, but at first, when i loaded the .exe for exclusion and saved the list supposely, it didnt retain any trace of that the next time i opened it just for a check. I tried it several times, and it didnt work, unless i did what i explained in my tip clause.
Suggestion: i would have the app minimized to try once i hit the "close" red button on the titlebar than it is now by hitting "minimize to try" button, since its more comfortable and mac osx alike a lot (Xtickies was done in that way and its really nice). If i truly want to completely QUIT, i should choose it in a button seperately, since 'closing' the window is more commonly used - in my opinion.

The first time you try to run IBlend, you won't see any window because it only places an IB icon in the system tray. I believe a lot of people get to miss it first time. Right-click on the tray IB icon to open the preferences window. I'm sure you should be able to figure the rest.

Hmmm, there seems to have a problem with the exclusion list
looks like it doesn't load all the exclusions...
I'll take a look
for the close button, well why not
>> to 0.3.1

For pretty good performance what kind of video card, RAM, processor speed would you need for iBlend? It's a really good program, but slows down my windows on my GeForce-2 64 MB (but it might be that I have shadows, docks, samurize, and other applications running). I was thinking of upgrading the card sometime this summer.
I have a P4 2.0 gig processor with 768 RAM.

chiasing: The problem is that a geforce2 can't accelerate alpha blending on a window above a certain size (I forgot which size exactly, something like 5xx X 6xx) as fast as when it's smaller. Which can cause a problem if you have a bunch of large windows transparent. In addition it can cause a strain on your AGP bus but I'm sure in your case it's more the limit on the video card.

:rant: How dare you have a life outside of programming freeware for people online who you don't even know? I think you should be chain'd to your keyboard, siwu, and not be let free 'til you've turned iBlend into a fully-fledged OS
Reallydoe, no probs mate - take your time and get it right - I'm sure we'd all rather have something good that's late than something early that's rubbish (admittedly iBlend v0.2.9 was great, but y'know what I mean :6)
And, as always, if you want a hand, gimme a shout
