WindowBlinds 6.02 released
Maintenance release improves performance, adds MyColors support
Tuesday, January 15, 2008 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Stardock has released WindowBlinds 6.02. WindowBlinds is a program that allows users to change the look and feel of Windows XP and Windows Vista by applying a new visual style. Users can download thousands of free visual styles from websites such as WinCustomize.com, deviantART, SkinBase, Customize.org, and more.
Thanks to years of optimization, WindowBlinds not only won't slow down your computer, it is faster than Windows XP or Windows Vista is by default thanks to making use of video acceleration features in ATI, nVidia, and Intel-based video adapters. Moreover, WindowBlinds makes heavy use of resource sharing and as a result typically uses less memory than when using the default Windows XP or Windows Vista visual styles.
WindowBlinds 6.02 is a maintenance release designed fix some reported bugs, improve skin changing speed, and add support for MyColors themes.
WindowBlinds is a free download at http://www.windowblinds.net. Users can purchase an enhanced registered version which adds additional functionality for $19.95 (or get it as part of Object Desktop which adds several additional programs and costs $49.95).
Download: www.windowblinds.net

Open up your Stardock Central....click onto to "tools".....click onto "settings"......click onto "internet" and then click onto "refresh application XML data". See if that works for you. It worked for me.

Yeah, that is Elegance. I was looking at the min/max/close buttons and completely overlooked the start menu. Went into WB and started looking around when it dawned on me that...I WAS WRONG!!!

Sounds like a Stardock Central issue. Make sure you have build 164. (help->about).
Not to rant but Microsoft doesn't make this stuff easy between their constant security tweaking in Vista (even between service pack betas).
