@Orbitalex2000
does your Radeon IGP 320M allow you to have working transparent title-bars?


no it doesn't...it gives me transparent Taskbar, Start Menu, program menus....in fact transparency only doesn't work in the title-bar and the window outline....the preview in WindowBlinds Configuration gives an acurate picture

Both machines Jafo has been using are in trouble....

He should be back to normal in a couple days.

ATi Radeon x800GTO 256MB PCI-E
Catalyst 5.12 - 5.13 - OmegaDrivers
No prob for now...

My 7500LE 64MB as got some trouble with the Beta of WB5, I will check up with the lastest to see but I think it's to old to support PerPixel...
(Edit: Hum ya, saw it at the compiled page...)

Hum pictoratus,
Can you sort the table ?
IE: put cards by Chip brand (ATi, nVIDIA) and by oldness?

ATI Radeon 9250 256MB PCI with Catalyst 5.13, no per-pixel blending at 1600x1200 resolution. Per-pixel does work with Catalyst 4.12 drivers, however.

ATi Mobility Radeon X700 64bit-64MB


No major issue. One minor issue: MDI buttons can not be skinned. I think this isn't an issue caused by graphics card or driver.

Nvidia 6800GS, using latest drivers. When I try to load a skin, I see the "loading" box in the new skin, but then all my windows, task bar, start button, etc. change to the unskinned "windows 95" look. I'm running Windows Media Center 2005 on a dual core Pentium D.

ATI X800XT-PE with Catalyst 6.1 on a very fresh install of XP SP2 (p4-3.2Ghz, 1GB RAM).  WB5 works fine but slows my desktop way down.  Happens with all skins that come stock.  Tried WB v5.00.01 and b.011.  I used Passmark Performance Test 6.0 to come up with differences:


Benchmark    no WB    WB5
----------- -------- -------

2D Lines     118.76    7.25
2D Rects      89.54   54.48
2D Shapes      7.90    3.46
2D Fnts/Txt  168.04   71.34
3DWin Simp  2014.39    9.39
3DWin Med    350.54   17.92 
3DFullScr     32.41   32.41


I don't know what all the number mean precisely, but I can replicate them on demand.  In fact, no tweaking I've tried within WB seems to make more than 5% difference.

Since I didn't see it listed.....
Sony VAIO Laptop, Ati Mobility Radeon X600 256mb (128mb dedicated & 128 mb shared) worked on all releases so far. Lateset OEM drivers and bios upgrade.

Mjollnir32: The slow 3dWin results is due to a problem on ATI boards when a windowed D3D app uses antialiasing and there is 1 or more pixels of perpixel on screen.  This can be reproduced with a simple DX gadget on screen (on a multi monitor system you can even see the change as you move the window in & out of the screen the test is running on).

We will be reporting this to ATI to see if they can fix it in future drivers.

I can reproduce those 2D slowdowns and I suspect the slowdown is caused by the progress bar updating.  I will post here with more information when I get it.
