WB Skin Not fully Working: Could Use Advice
New to all of Star Dock Apps
Sunday, December 16, 2007 by Trublusoxfan | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hello... I've purchased Star Dock and am enjoying all of the possibilities of changing the look and feel, as well as streamlining work processes via the different programs. Object Dock works very well, but WB does not engage all the features of the skin (I downloaded Jazz), where log on/off screens are standard XP, not the skin theme. Some times, the menus do not appear colored correctly. I don't have any programming experience and would appreciate any suggestions of what might be causing this, or how to fix it. Thanks! Here is the information from WB: WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.01 (build 40 x86)

Maybe Jazz dosnt have those elements skinned completely.Do you have this problem with all skins or just some?Do you have perpixel enabled in WB config?

Ah, my bad about the Star Dock reference. But to answer your question, no the Log On/Log Off screens still look like XP, not the Jazz theme.

I have this problem regardless of skin used. Also, I tried Logon Studio and the result is the same; XP screens.

if you are referring to the shutdowns... always - the other shutdowns come from WB and you have to be logged in to use them (shutdown via start panel) -- on the logon screen, no one is logged in hence the default xp shutdown box
was your WB downloaded and installed via a download link? or via the Stardock Central browser?

If you didn't fire Brad, give him a call. He started the company and should be able to help.
Stardock is the company that makes a bunch of enhancement software - some of which are WindowBlinds and ObjectDock
it should look like this:
when you click the log off button on the start panel
