Per Pixel Border Problems

Wednesday, April 19, 2006 by Beni Halli | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Hello... this is my first ever post on these forums so im sorry if this problem has been identified / solved elsewhere.

I have purchased windowblinds 5, and have version 5.01 installed and working correctly.

When using a new skin called portal15 after say a few hours i would notice my mouse was actually going under the maximize close minimize buttons?...
and also when clicking on start an open windows border would be above the start menu.
- wierd but i just decided to change skin... I then used a skin called Live... this was fine for a few hours but then the borders being above the start menu happens again

Its hard to explain but by disabling per pixel borders this would solve the problem... unfortunatley then the skins dont look as nice

Im not sure if this is a common problem but any help / acknowledgement of this bug would be helpfull.

Ben.

It sounds like a bug with Windows XP that a few others have run into. If you change your screen resolution to say 800 x 600 and then back to the original setting, it should fix it. I believe Stardock is aware of it and are working on bugging Microsoft about it. Rebooting supposedly fixes it also. Hope it helps.
