We have released WindowBlinds 10.81 to address the following issues with the Windows 10 1903 release:

Some WindowBlinds stock skins did not paint the time on the taskbar correctly
Taskbar app icons were not shaded properly
Taskbar app icon hover did not show the app preview popup

While the app should soon prompt to update, you can manually get the update from the following links:

Reminds me of Win 8/8.1...deja vu. I did the full uninstall of 10.8, reboot then installed 8.1 with another reboot. No Change.

Unknown to me, only Stardock Support or Dev Team can answer that.

OK, there is a serious problem on Windows 10, 1903 using Windowblinds 10.81. If you open a toolbar up on the taskbar and the Windows 10 windows mode color is set to Light, the rebar area is totally messed up, and if you set the toolbar to use large icons it is even worse. It does this with all Windowblinds skins and more than one use is experiencing this issue. Here is a screenshot:

I can also confirm the issue discussed in Replies 17-19 of this thread, it is even worse than it was on Windows 10, 1809.

Both issues definitely need fixed ASAP.

Is anybody going to report this issue to support?

Yup. That is an issue. As I said for certain theme only which have different color for and text size between the taskbar button and Clock. From what I observed that clock on the second screen is using font colors from Active Taskbar button. But not too sure where that size and position setting come from. This problem can also be seen on Stardock default theme "Corporate"

Definitely something screwed up!

And the Windows Light Theme is as ugly as homemade sin!

And, Firefox follows suit, so it's even worse!

Hello not too sure what you are trying to show. If you mean that the close button don't work on that preview. It surely work on mine. Or was it something else?

Thank you,

Andy, do you run multiple monitors? Just curious.

On another note, am I way behind here, or blind, or have we lost the ability to use WC Config to apply a texture to the explorer background?

I can't find the option.

No, I don't, maybe that's why I don't experience these probs ?

having a issue with the clock on the taskbar being partially hidden when taskbar is positioned on the sides of the screen when using small icons settings and on the taskbar.

I tried different skins and same thing. only way to fix it was block windowblinds from skinning explorer. I use directory opus so dont care if explorer is skinned or not....

but then taskbar isnt skinned....skins was making the taskbar look bulky anyway....lol

I'm using Diamond theme in that clip but it's the same with all themes, can't you see the thumbnail preview is win10 stock/default?
