I can't seems to make it work... I installed it on windows 8 and change the settings as follow:

under Counterparty server I selected counterwallet.io

under wallet I selected Bitcoin core with following options

host= 127.0.0.1
port = 8332
user= "myuser from bitcoin.conf"
password= "mypassword from bitcoin.conf"

I launch bitcoin in cmd -> bitcoin-qt.exe -server

once bitcoin-qt is synchronized I open counterparty GUI

it briefly open but it never goes further than loading

is the issue windows 8 or m'i doing something wrong?

thanks

P.S: the all process look a little complicated to me.

You configuration seems good. The GUI is still in BETA version and was tested only in Windows 7. I will test it with Windows 8 asap.
It is also planned to add a wrapper for a lightweight wallet compatible with Counterwallet.

Does the desktop wallet require downloading the entire BTC blockchain?

Generally yes but no if you are using a distant Counterparty server, and a local Btcwallet connected to a distant Btcd.

I've actually been in contact with JahPowerBit about similar issues, and I'm on Windows 7, so I think it just needs more work. I've got to do some more testing myself and get back with him.
