windows blinds program window

Sunday, December 16, 2007 by Browneyes70 | Discussion: WindowBlinds

Hi everyone
I am loving the program, working good, the only issue/problem I have is when I launch Windows Blinds from my Task bar, It seems that I can't see everything in the window. Does that make sense??

Everything is fine on the left, but as I am reading it continues on, and I can't see what is on the right.
it is like the window isn't big enough and the writing is too big for the page. So I am not able to click any buttons over there (if there is any)

I hope this makes sense?!! Is there a way to fix this problem so I can see "everything" on the page.
Thanks
~B

this mite help.

open up Windowblinds interface (WB6) under LOOK and FEEL then under FONTS with the slider make sure it is at lest no bigger then NORMAL and if you move it, to set you have to click on APPLY CHANGES.
or it will not change...

The file dates look good for the trial.
When did you install WB?

Thanks for the info on the screenshot...I was trying to get it done this morning, but had to leave to go to work. and my ISP was giving me grief
I have it done now though...

I installed WB on Sunday.

Ok let me see if this works....






You can kinda make out how there is button on the left, but I can't get to it really or read what the text says.

This should give you a better look at what I am seeing in the WB program.

Wrong DPI?
A really long font name?

Does it only happen with this window?

It happens in all the windows. no matter what tab I hit, they all stretch to the right like that and then I can't see or access some buttons or see some images...unless I use my arrow buttons on my keyboard I can see the wallpapers in that tab but the text doesn't move.

what resolution is your monitor set to?

Reply #13 Tuesday, December 18, 2007 10:35 PM
DPI is set on normal and my screen resolution is set too 1024x768.

They have been set that way since I have had this PC (3 yrs) and I have never had an issue with there settings and any other programs.

Played around with the fonts on here and nothing has changed, it is still the same. everything else changes but nothing in the WB program window.

Try setting your skin back to default. See if that fixes it.

Are you running WindowsFX?

No I don't, I have WB and recently downloaded Object Dock. But this issue with WB started as soon as I downloaded it and went to open the WB program.

I also just found in one of the forums on here that someone else had the same issue as me, except he worded it better and he never got his problem resolved either.
He ended going back to WB5...

I asked because I was looking at your shot and comparing to my wb config using Molten

It appears something has shortened the overall window width

look how the letters in my tabs line up using "WindowBlinds Configuration" in the title bar as a reference:
