WB 6 - Minimizing programs going to system tray
Monday, November 12, 2007 by rockqc | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hi
I'm using WB 6 in Vista and seem to have a problem with some programs. Whenever I change to any skin other then default I have a problem with programs minimizing.
When I minimize Firefox, Yahoo Messenger, mIRC or Internet Explorer using the button in the top right corner, they minimize to the system tray instead of the task bar. If however I right click the program in the task bar and choose minimize there, they work fine.
I can get around it by excluding applications from being skinned, but was wondering if anyone else had encountered this and whether there was a solution.
WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.0 (build 49 x86 - Vista Edition)
WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC

Thanks.

Windowblinds Configuration > Settings tab > under "Titlebar Settings" UNcheck "Windows should minimize to the tray instead of taskbar"

Thanks for the prompt replies. That fixed it.
I remember checking that box thinking it was for wbconfig.
