Desktop Icon Highlight in WindowBlinds

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 by Cinderwolf | Discussion: WindowBlinds

As everybody knows that when it comes to using Windows Vista, all of the icons on the desktop look like they did in XP, but with one exception: hovering your mouse over-top of the icons produces a large white/silver square around the icon.... without even clicking on it.

Prior to enabling WindowBlinds, I had been running the Windows Classic theme with all the bells and whistles turned off to give my laptop the look and feel of WinXP, and I didn't have a problem with the highlight appearing around my desktop icons. However, since enabling/installing WindowBlinds, the icon highlighting has re-appeared, and switching back to the Windows Classic theme doesn't do anything at all until WB is unloaded.

Now, I've been through WB's settings and havn't found a single thing yet that changes this setting in Windows (and I've been running Google searches for the past half hour, all to no avail).

Might anyone happen to have a cure for this bug?
