Compatibility issue with an app?

Compatibility issue with an app?

Please let us know

If you have compatibility issues with WindowBlinds and an application or game, please do let us know in this thread so we can investigate it and hopefully resolve the problem.

Please make sure you are running the latest version of WindowBlinds first and that the problem exists with a theme included with WindowBlinds vs a downloaded one. 

Please provide as much detail as you can, screenshots of the problem, information on the application itself, how to reproduce the problem and if possible dmp files from any crashes. 

The information on the about WindowBlinds page and information on your setup would be helpful too.

Missing window buttons (minimize, maximize, and close buttons) in UltraEdit and UltraCompare AFTER switching back to Default Theme in WB11.

UltraEdit

UltraCompare

The issue even persists after restarting WB11 service, uninstall WB11, and even purging it (https://support.stardock.com/space/SS/1349058584/WindowBlinds+purging+and+re-installing).

In addition, I have ESET Internet Security installed, but already have HIPS (Host Intrusion Prevention System) disabled.

Do you mean this continues even when WindowBlinds is uninstalled after a reboot?  If so thats probably not WB at fault given it isn't installed.

If this is just having had a skin applied and then switching back to Default whilst those apps are open then I would imagine closing and reopening them would resolve that.

Yes. But that could make sense.

It seems to me the Default Theme of WB11 could possibly leave any leftover theme settings within Windows itself that aren't properly cleaned up after uninstallation, or even purging.

That came to my mind as after I excluded UltraEdit executable file (uedit64.exe) from WB11, and then I switched to any other non-default themes, those window buttons were properly shown using Window 11 default window theme (as expected).

Only after I switched back to WB11 Default Theme, those buttons disappeared again, like shown in the screenshots above.

I've also tried reinstalling UltraEdit, but the issue persists.

So for now, I'm assuming there's an issue caused by WB11 Default Theme, specifically, that trigger this unexpected behavior.

I can recreate this problem too (with a different skin).

Which skin is this, please? I'll test it with an English locale.

请问这是什么皮肤? 我将使用英语语言环境对其进行测试。

Microsoft Paint: Quick Access Toolbar does not show above Ribbon. Does appear when selected to show below it though.

So is the compatibility better with Window Blinds 11? Is it worth an update, or is it better to wait?

Windowblinds blocks the Reolink client 

Using client version "v7.2.2.33" the client starts

Using the latest client version "8.8.5" the client refuses to start.

After unloading Windowblinds the latest Reolink client starts normaly...

 

I already asked Reolink to look at the problem, they proposed to use the older

client and till now they didn't solve the problem. Maybe the problem lies in the

Windowblinds program ?

 

Using : Windows 10 Version 21H2 (Build 19044.2846)

WindowBlinds 11 seems doesn't support RTL languages.
The taskbar inverted, and the title bar of file explorer broken.

I am afraid it is likely to remain so.

The costs of supporting that outweigh the additional sales it would result in.

maybe you create your own topic for your problem! This topic is about incompability between Windowblinds and Reolink software..... So please start your own topic.

No this thread is incompatibility between Windowblinds with any Software. Not just Reolink.

As for Reolink issue have you try to set Windowblinds to exclude Reolink from it?

 

Thank you,

This is a shame. It seems very unfair but I suppose it can't be helped. I can only presume Windows itself deals with RtL languages in a completely different way than LtR ones too? That said, maybe someone is aware of a theme that is RtL specific? I wonder if such a thing exists.

This works. I'm unblocked. Please fix these so others don't run into it. I'm pretty technical and able to figure it out, but many people wouldn't have a clue why their game wouldn't start.

Window Blinds 11 is running horribly.   

 

Terrible lag, several applications will open then vanish from the screen.  Everything seems to have come to a total crawl. 

It also broke my search.   

I've totally uninstalled the program and I'm still having issues.   I can't even run system info in order to provide you with my system specs. 

This is the first time I've installed it in years.  I thought it would be improved.
