WB Skin Issue!!
Wb does not skin the task bar or start menu only.
Monday, July 17, 2006 by Modern FX | Discussion: Stardock Support General
Hello,
I am having an issue with Windowblinds. For some strange reason WB is not skining the Task Bar ro Start menu but everything else works just fine. I have tried restarting serveral times and uninstall and reinstall but still nothing. I am using WB 4.2 Enhanced. Below is my system configuration:
ASUS A8N32-SLI - Motherboard
AMD64 X2 4400+ - Processor
2GB Cosair Memory
nVidia Geforce 7900GT
Dual Dell 2005FPW - Monitors
I beleive that is all that is relevant. I think.
I appreciate anyone's help.
Thank you

Check your settings in 'Basic Settings' to make sure those things are checked off to be skinned. If not that then it is something else... unsure what it might be atm. You might also want to update your windowblinds version to at least 4.5 if not 5.

Thanks for you suggestions. I have tried and everything seems ok. All items are checked .
I really do not want to upgrade right now. There should be no reason as to why it is not working now because it was working before. I will continue to look around the settings as suggested.
Thanks again.

This usually means you've got a conflict with some new program or hardware that you installed after Windowblinds.
You didn't mention if it was all wba's or just a particular one but I assume it's all. If not it's also possible your trying to use a blind that's not compatible with your version of Windowblinds.

It sounds like XP SP2 has been installed. The DEP feature (when used with a supporting processor) can cause problems like this.
Please install WB 4.6 (which is free to all registered WB4 customers)
The other possibility is you have told WB to use a different (and missing) skin for the taskbar. This is set on the User Overrides page.

Thank you for everyones help so far.
I may be overlooking it but I have looked all over this site and stardock and cannot find WB 4.6 download anywhere. I did a search and nothing came up. Does anyone have a link to it? or can someone from Stardock contact me? I am a paid user and would like to receive this update to see if this resolves my issue. Thank You.

I would try installing Stardock Central and completing the registration that you initially used and then WB 4.6 will be available for downloading. Use this link to get Stardock Central:
