Thanks for the mirror, but I don't see bbLeanSkin in the plugins folder.

:(

 

EDIT: SOLVED IT! Aw yeah! Here's what I did:

 

To prevent having to exchange lots of settings files, I used bbLeanSkin.dll bundled with diabol's bbClean, based on XZero. It simply werks. Should keep this here so that people with the same problem on Windows 8 get a solution.

 

Link to the topic with the build whose plugin I used: http://blackbox4wind...ndex.php?/topic

Thanks for the help.

 

EDIT 2: Please rename the topic so that [SOLVED] appears before it. I dunno how to do it.

I've had problems with bbLeanSkin not skinning 32-bit apps on Windows 7 before. I was told I needed the Visual  C++ Redistributable for both 32-bit and 64-bit environments. Even when installing them, bbLeanSkin wasn't skinning 32-bit apps. This had to do with Windows' 64-bit file system, since it stores 32-bit .dll in SysWOW64 while storing 64-bit ones in System32. The installer for the Redistributable would only install files on System32, so copying the .dll files to SysWOW64 solved the problem.

 

Unfortunately, that didn't help now that I'm on Windows 8. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the OS or I'm just not installing it right. 32-bit apps still don't get skinned or recognized by bbLeanSkin.dll. Does anyone here use bbLeanSkin on Windows 8? If so, please help...

 

Also, I'm using Mojmir's 64-bit build with its built-in bbLeanSkin plugin.

 

Files I've tried copying to SysWOW64 so far:

  • MSVCR110.dll
  • MSVCR100.dll
  • MSVCR120.dll
  • MSVCR110_clr0400.dll
  • MSVCR100_clr0400.dll
  • MSVCR120_clr0400.dll

They are all both in System32 and SysWOW64. OS is Windows 8 64-bit. bbLean is installed as a shell.

Attached is a screenshot of HexChat and explorer being skinned, while qBitTorrent(32-bit) is not. Firefox is 32-bit and not being skinned; what you see is my custom CSS applied through Stylish. Firefox is not included in exclusions.rc anymore, since I wanted to know if it was an issue with administrator privileges or 32-bit applications. Seemed like the latter, so I'm making this post.

Attached Files

I'm not sure what's going on there, but there are at least two different versions of bbLeanskin. I'm running Win7 64 and I don't recall needing those runtimes. Though Mojmir's build comes with a number of different bbLean versions, so it could be a problem with version mismatches?

 

Try bbLean Revived 1.18.1 x64. I have no problems here on a 64bit system.

obscurant: The download link gives me a 509 error. I've used DBlake's build on Windows 7 64-bit before, but for some reason I liked Mojmir's more.

Alright, but his build is a beta, from what I understand, and he includes two different 64bit bbLean versions (?). Not sure why that is, but maybe try the version of bbLeanskin included in DBlake's build.

 

Or at least try DBlake's build to see if bbLeanskin works properly with it, for troubleshooting purposes.

 

Edit: I see that DBlake's dropbox account is 404ing. Sorry, here's a mirror.

Darn. I doesn't include bbLeanskin. Well, bbZero appears to be using the same version of bbLeanskin that I am, except the build date on mine is 2009, while his is dated 2014. And I don't remember where I obtained my version. There's another version floating around named bbLeanskin++.

 

Maybe try bbZero's bbLeanskin version in bbLean 1.18. Beyond that, I don't have any ideas.
