Group boxes not displaying right

I don't know if this is a bug but I believe it could be. I do development using Visual Studio 2005. When I have WindowBlinds active (and any WindowBlinds skin running) the text for Group Boxes under VS 2005 do not display right. As per the image below:
As you can see, what happens is that the text of the group box is slightly below the group box border, and the border goes through the text. On a normal groupbox, the text would appear inside the group box border, and the border (i.e. line) would stop at the text start, and begin again at the end of the text (i.e. would NOT appear in the text).
Note also that this is NOT just with the Visual Studio 2005 IDE - even if I compile and run the actual application that was created in VS 2005 (i.e. VB.NET) that applications group box also displays screwy. So it must be something in the way that WindowBlinds is handling .NET 2.0 Framework controls (specifically the group box).
This has occurred in ALL versions of WindowBlinds, including the new beta version. I know it is WindowBlinds specific, because if I switch to a normal XP theme, then the group box text displays normally as it should.
This is really aggravating, and because I use VS 2005 every day (programmer is my occupation) I basically can't use WindowBlinds (it just looks too wierd). Any ideas as to how to fix this? Or what the issue is?
