WBExec 1.00 Build 18

Created by MadIce

WB exec allows you to add various menus and commands to WindowBlinds buttons. Usually skinners are in full control, but this WB plugin is different. It allows the user to customize the skinner's defaults.

You can assign the following menus to a WB button which supports WBExec:
  • Drives Menu (a menu containing all the drives on the user's system).
  • Folder Menu (a menu containing various common folders).
  • Start Menu (the Windows Start Menu under a WB button).
  • Players Menu (a menu containg installed media players).
  • Graphics Menu (a menu containg the installed graphics software).
  • Office Menu (a menu containg installed bussiness applications).
  • Quick Launch Menu (a menu containg the shortcuts of the Quick Launch bar).
  • Recent Files Menu (a menu containing the 25 most recently used files).
  • Object Desktop Menu (the ODNT part of the Start Menu).
  • Desktop Menu (a menu containing the contents of the desktop).

Instead of menus you can also assign commands to a WB button:
  • My Computer
  • My Documents
  • My Network and Places
  • Recycle Bin
  • Printers
  • Control Panel
  • Scheduled Tasks

Additional Features:
  • New! Users can now assign functionality to any button which supports WBExec without the need to edit the file or use SkinStudio.
  • New! 7 new actions which can be assigned to a button.
  • Improved COM support for increased reliability.

WBExex 1.00 Author Notes
To change the defaults of the skinner click the button and press Scroll Lock at the same time. That menu allows you to assign a menu or command to Normal Click, Shift+Click and/or Ctrl+Click.

It also allows the user to specify if Explorer operates in single pane or tree view mode. Finally there is a browser option to specify another browswer or to invoke the browser directly whenever a shotcut links to a webpage.

WB Skin Randomizer Author Notes
The program has the following command line params :

SkinRandomizer.exe /x

<filename> - a filename of a .WBR file to load

/x - Change to a random skin after 5 seconds and exit

Second option is designed for changing the skin on startup and leaving it alone afterwards. This has to be configured manually as otherwise it may be troublesome to get into the program to disable it again.


WB SkinSwapper

Created by Philip Powell

Swap between substyles in a Windowblinds skin at the click of a button. Please note you will need to use the WBexec plugin to use this program. Simply set up a new WBExec button in the skin and tell it to run skinswapper.exe That's all you need to do. The program will auto swap to the next substyle in the list looping back to the start when it reaches the end.

Please remember to include the skinswapper.exe in the wba file when you upload.
