help with Windows Blind 5 and AOL

Friday, September 15, 2006 by DizzYBuT | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Is anybody using windows blinds 5 and aol? If so notice how aol's internal web browser always appears in a weird spot and you always have to drag the window to resize it. This does not happen with windows blinds v4.2 and only 4.2. Does anybody know what I'm talking about and know how to fix this from happening in windows blinds 5? thanks in advance

I dont let WB Skin AOL at all. If I did I had nothing but goofy behavior with it.

Best to exclude aol.exe and waol.exe from skinning in the per application section of WB.

What I do, is just exclude the title bar from being skinned. From the Windowblinds Config panel, select Per Application > add per application setting, scroll to the executable (aol.exe) Then just check exclude titlebar skinning from Feature Disabling.
Fairyy~

I do the same - this has been a problem for a long time. Easier just to not skin it.
