SiriusLives: I cannot make any promises with that app.  It uses the very flawed (theme support wise) QT toolkit.

Having looked into the KVirc app, I have resolved the problem with the scrollbar and some controls vanishing on mouseover for the next WB update.

There are still some issues, but they relate to the framework that app uses and not issues with WindowBlinds.  These issues are usually it using the wrong text colour for the various states of controls.

It doesn't work well with Alcohol 100%. The menu doesn't work to say the least. I have to go to Windowblinds' setting to take care of this (Easy Fix) though I'd rather I wouldn't have to.

Alcohol 120% does appear to look better with the "I want WindowBlinds to use Vista UI guidelines when skinning menus" enabled.  The menus appeared to work fine though other than the text could have slight edges to it depending on the skin.  If you are having different issues with that then please say which OS it was on and the version of the app and a screenshot if it would help.

I have modified WB to force the Vista guidelines for menus setting on that application.

There will still be a few issues with their menus due to bugs at their end.  The menu selection image is painted OVER the icons rather than under and they appear to have assumed the selected menu item shares the same colour as the normal menu item.  This is a somewhat common error in applications that opt to paint their own menus.

Button is displayed in the middle of the titlebar even though there isn't supposed to be one.

roflmfaoo: I initially thought this was a skin bug, but having downloaded the app it appears it is the app itself.

It adds a button to the titlebar, but their code doesn't work for Windows Aero when the DWM is on whcih is why you do not see it in your screenshot of Aero.  WindowBlinds is allowing this (I guess that makes us more compatible...) and so the button gets painted.

If you kill the dwm service you will notice the button appears on the titlebar with Aero without the DWM too and likewise in Windows Classic.

Unfortunately they are using the toolwindow close button image which looks pretty odd.  It seems the button is designed to make the window minimize to the system tray.

Program: Tiles

OS: Windows 7 64 bit

Theme: Fearomone

Problem: I can not get the fearomone skin to install in Tiles nor can i change the skin in Tiles. I have uninstalled this program completely and re-installed this application and still no luck. I have no option to change the skin in my configuration window for Tiles. I do not know if this is because i am using the free version or not.

This forum post is for issues relating to WindowBlinds and not tiles. You should post this in the Stardock Support General section.

Sensui: The free version does not support third party skins.  To use skins you would need to purchase the Tiles bundle or the Third Party Skin feature from the Add Features page in the Config UI.

When i click the button while windowblinds is active it doesn't do anything. But it's no real hassle i can just force aero when i use it (which isn't very often).

Thank you Neil

c242: MediaMonkey has it's own skinning, is that happening with it turned on or off?

Scratch that, seems to happen either way.  Looks like UIS0 skins seems OK, but I haven't tried more than a couple.

At the moment I use MM skinning with an exclusion in WB. Undesired, but that works. Yes, either way.

Can You please consider an interim update ASAP so that this drama stops already :

C242: That is most unfortunate given we told them we were working on it and I actually sent them a long mail last week!

Thanks for the screenshot, Carl.

Indeed, and obnoxious, imo.

It's all about choice of vocabulary and his is poor at best.

The second sentence NEEDS to be revised.  It implies deliberate intent to break another's product.

Using a trial version of Photoshop CS5 and I seem to have problems with dropdown menus not displaying anything. It can be one or two menus, and it seems to be completely random as to which it will be.

I've tried to resolve the issue by setting per application and telling it not skin CS5 at all. That makes the document frame appear but where the document is supposed to be is blank. If I move/reposition the frame it makes the document appear... until I stop moving it, then the document area vanishes again, making it impossible for me to work on anything.

The only solution I've found is to set CS5 to use a different skin. It doesn't actually do that, but it makes everything work, albeit in a Windows classic skin (even though it was supposed to be Aero Metals).

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this as I know there are people here that use CS5.

App name: Photoshop CS5 (64 bit)

OS: Windows 7 64 bit

Theme: Any, so far

StarCandy: I checked CS5 the other day and did not encounter any problems with it.  What other applications do you have running and what graphics card do you have?

I will say you cannot set UIS0 skins like Aero Metals as a subskin.  That will simply make WB exclude the application as UIS0 skins are system wide only.

Do you have the same problem with the 32 bit version of CS5 that the trial also includes?

I had the above problem yesterday with PS CS5 32 bit, on Windows 7 64 bit. I restarted PS and it fixed itself.  Just saying.

Other applications would be Skype, Steam, Rainmeter and Winstep Xtreme. Graphics card is an Asus HD6850 DirectCU with latest drivers. Will try 32 bit version and see if problem persists.

Is it possible there is a setting within Windowblinds I don't have selected?

Problem with dropdown menus doesn't persist with 32 bit version. Though if Jim's post is anything to go off, it seems it could happen but is easily resolved. No matter. Call it fixed. Cheers Neil, you're a .

Ditto that with Windows 7 32 bit and Vista SP2 Home Premium.

It has an setting in 'options' to over ride Window skins but doesn't do anything to help it.

Po: You can use 5th Gen Skin (black) with MM disabled in WB and that override setting off. Only one that works really good for me.
