WindowBlinds and Vivaldi

WindowBlinds version is currently 10.82

 With WB 10.74 at least Thunderbird 6.9 still worked.

With WB 10.82 neither Vivaldi 2.8 nor Thunderbird work.

But it's mainly about Vivaldi

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. As far as I know almost all browser is not compatible with Windowblinds except Firefox.

Go to Per Application,choose Vivaldi.exe,ticked only

• Enable this if you have problems with glass areas
• Enable this to prevent the application using glass
• Enable this if glass is painting with nothing on it

Vivaldi will be fine with Windowblinds running on it. 

I just need to do the "3 line menu -> Customize -> tick the "Titlebar" option on the bottom left. And it been working fine for me.

Thank you,

Maybe,I am WIN7 BTW. The main issue is Titlebar of Vivaldi would not render rightly with Windowblinds running on,Vivaldi has one option that can having default Windows frame,still not working with this on. 

Tried on Win 7 also not working for me.

Where is this option located?

Settings, Appearance, and check "Use Native Window." Then restart.

Did it on both my Win10 and Win7 system still don't have the Windowblinds frame for it.

Here what I get on my Win7 system. After system restart.

Basj,

I think I haven't make my comments clearly on Reply #6,it wasn't about Vivaldi's titlebar being skinned by Windowblinds,is about running fine with it. On Reply #10;I did mention the issue of which I thought the OP was complained if I am not mistaken . Sorry for misunderstanding.               

Ah, okay.. Thanks for clarify it.

Hello, is skinning with Vivaldi now working with the latest Windowe Blinds build? 

I can't get the app to skin at all.

Vivaldi is not skinned by WindowBlinds AFAICT, but it has its' own themes which are quite nice.

Hi Bob.

Are you asking why Windowblinds does not skin anything, you will need to install Start 10 or 11 as they work together.

I don't like when programms use their own skinning engine, the make me very angry!   Because I preffer a consistent system, every app with the same skin, borders, colors and fonts. I also use resource hacker to change icons, fonts and colors, sometimes even hex editor to achieve that. And I hate borderless windows. Therefore for example, I am still using office 2010. When there is an app which I cant skin with the mentioned methods, I simply dont' use it on my customized and skinned system    Well...but there are exceptions. I need a browser....

And I made a screenshot from the skinned chrome, a screenhsot with with the borders and placed it in the common.css as background. Now my Vivaldi looks like it is skinned   

Please explain to me how Start 10/11 has anything to do with skinning any program as I must have missed something since all it does is skin the taskbar/start menu.
