Custom Color Slider in WB is jacked!

Friday, August 24, 2007 by nfopirate | Discussion: WindowBlinds

When I attempt to change the color of my skin by dragging the slider, my cursor shoots to the "Reset to default" button. I can use my arrow keys to move it, but that wastes time.

I tried adding "wbconfig.exe" to the skin exclusion list, but no love.

Has anyone had the same issue? How can I resolve this? Please help.

What type of mice do you have?

It sounds like you have jump to default button on and what you are seeing is a bug in their implementation.

Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on View my system information.  Copy/paste that info here.

Same set up here. I have to deactivate the " Jump To " box to mess with WB colors. It's actually called " automatically move pointer to a default button in a dialog box " Or something like that. Found in mouse properties. Not sure why this happens.

Then maybe reset to default shouldnt be the default.

Reset to default is certainly not the default button in WB 6.

It looks like the code Logitech use to detect when it should snap to a new button has a bug which is being exposed by something WBconfig is doing.

Neil, here is some more info that may or may not help. I have the same problem. The only difference is I'm using a MS mouse with the default Vista drivers. It did this to me on XP also. If you set the Snap To in control panel, to automatically move pointer to the default button in a dialog box it moves the poiner to the, Reset to default button on the custom color screen when you try to change the colors. Hope this helps.

I'm not using any software...just the default driver provided by XP pro.

If I click reset to default...nothing happens.It jumps to that button immediately after enabling custom color support.

Clicking on the slider does tho...pushes it right back to defaults.  (and moves the mouse to the reset button)
The only other sliders I use that have default settings are in the graphic card section of display properties...they dont do this.

You guys rock! I didn't even think about the "snap-to" mouse setting.

I'm using Logitech Trackman Wheel as well, but that seems not to be an issue by itself.

Thanks for all the help and opinions. It is now fixed.
