BluePoison 2 works well and installed a metro theme perfectly. The only issue I have with it is that it goes ahead and restarts your computer instead of asking if you want to restart your computer.


The next release will ask for a LogOff instead of brute restart.
We'll also fix the themes scrollbar.

ETA: a few hours... ;D

Nice, did you guys ever get the last theme sorted out? I sent you an email with a new version using a different uxtheme.dll.

You refer to "Moar Tiles"? If yes, we are investigating... ;-)

EDIT: Probably we've just fixed the issue... ^^

It's still not working for me with 2.01 on x64. You tried the one with the new uxtheme I sent you?

It works, then I tried again on another rig and it works fine now on all my machines. I wonder what the problem was??

BluePoison prompted that there was a new version available, it downloaded it automatically and relaunched, but it still says 2.01 in the title bar.

The problem of your theme is that it was too big for our theme-compiler, so it was splitted in two parts. Now we have fixed this bug and used your new theme.

Regarding the update, yes, I did something wrong, but if you restart BluePoison, it will prompt to update to BluePoison 2.1. ^^

BluePoison 2.1 changelog:
- Added scrollbar to the themes section.
- Fixed some popup messages.
- Removed settings of version 1.x.

I am unable to select some of the themes, could this be because I'm on 32bit, or what?

Other than the themes there doesn't seem to be much to BluePoison anymore (since the development release)...

There are only a few 32bit themes out there, probably because hardly anyone uses it. This is the beginning of the end for 32bit, I bet after Win 8 MS is going 64bit only.

BluePoison isn't worth much anymore since all of the features are unlocked in the WDP. But great for changing start screen themes

BluePoison isn't really needed after CP, or is it?

Well you could unlock the various programs not in the apps version as well as fix the non-opening ones.
