Aqua-Soft ForumsI don't own object desktop, JUST WB 5(.1)...How do I update to 5.5, I can't find a link anywhere on there website.
Upgrading WB 5 to WB 5.5
Try to check the interface of Windowblinds itself, or one of the links on the Application Folder it produces.
checked.....I need a walkthrough.
WB 5.5 hasn't been released yet but it is currently in beta. (Build 5.49b...) If you want it, go to Stadock's site and download the Stardock Central client. It gives you the option to use the beta build or not. Of course, you need to be a registered user.
Hope this helps.
How do I become a registered user? Will I have to pay for the upgrade to 5.5, as I only have WB5 enhanced, not object desktop??
If you paid for the software, I believe you get a year worth of upgrades. I could be wrong on that so you may want to check with them. I recently installed WindowBlinds on a friend's machine and I was able to update it with the most recent Stardock Clent. Trust me, Stardock knows if you are eligible for an upgrade or not. 
Only ObjectDesktop subscribers have the option to use the betas. If you aren't one, you'll either have to wait til 5.5 is released to the public or purchase the subscription. I'm currently using the 5.5 beta. 
Ok, but I can get it for free when it comes out and then install it...But will I have to pay again for the enhanced version, or will It still be enhanced(AKA< will I have to buy it all over again tog et the latest verwsion?).
...read 2 posts above yours in this thread..
Thanks a million!
5.5 is a free upgrade for Windowblinds 5.0 registered user.
There is no point in upgrading to 5.5 on a XP machine though. WB 5.5 is designed for vista...
And yes, the only way to get it at this moment is through an ObjectDesktop subscription.
i don't have a object desktop subscription. I have a windowblinds subscription and i can get the beta thru stardock central
Oh is it bad if I did?" cuase I did.
u can upgrade to 5.5 even on an xp - i upgraded on 5.49 whatever today and it´s in the sysinfo claimed as 5.5 and works
Windowblinds 5.5 works on XP as well, and includes some improvements.
I didnt say it wouldn't work I said it was based for Windows Vista, I haven't heard of any changes for XP other than the layout of the wbconfig.

Windowblinds 5.5 adds support for Windows Vista, and includes improvements for XP including the new UI.
