Getting correct preview images after creating skin

Windowblinds shows wrong preview images

Published on December 17, 2012 By DocWilson In Skinning

Hi all,

I'm just finishing up my latest skin "3D Blues" and after saving it shows up in WindowBlinds with the old preview images.

This is also true when you go to substyles, the wrong preview images show but in the main viewing skin preview window, the skin is right.

What can I do to make SKS generate those new images? I have done some searching but have found nothingn so far.

I also had this same problem with a previous skin I posted. It shows up in the Windowblinds list with a very old first try start menu graphic as it's preview graphic.

I have noticed on skins that I've made, that when you look in the windowblinds folder, some of the files in there still have the old skin name on them.

Yeah Cyndie, I reported that issue to Stardock years ago, but no one did anything about it. A new SKS 7.4 came out today, so I will check it out and see if it is fixed in the new release. The new release does have some installation issues too that I will report.

I have installed the new version with no hic-cups but I'm wondering if there is a revision update notification that describes what changes have been made???

It would also be nice to be able to copy/paste the S/N instead of transcribing it over to the registration label.

I also picked up the update info here, did I miss an official notification of the revision update or...

I also got the update yesterdayand installed it. What I found is that it installed itself to a different directory so I had to change my shortcuts to get the new version to open.

There's a text file in the folder that hopefully let us know what they changed but I got the upgrade from Startdock Central with no info about the upgrade at all. I'll take a look at it later today.
