IE problem
Thursday, January 1, 2009 by phlooph | Discussion: WindowBlinds
If you look on the pic I took, when I click a button on the toolbar, none of the text shows up, except on the ones with more than one option. I have tried to fix it, but am stumped. I don't know much about Windowblinds, except how to load a skin. 
Any help would be much appreciated.

IE 7 I think, and is this what you meant by system info?
WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.1 (build 55 x86)
WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

phlooph you have an older version of WB, update it and post your new system info.

Noooooooooo! I have 20 days left on my subscription. I was hoping there were no major consequences to not renewing (recession has hit my household pretty hard--barring some miracle or turning to a life of crime, I'm going to be in the "I-guess-never-mind" category). Crap. 
My sympathies to you, phlooph.

Thanks m'dear. I'm hoping to renew it soon, not just because of this glitch, although it is highly annoying. I know it's Windowblinds doing it because if I unload it, I can seee all the options I'm looking for. Hopefully when I renew it will fix the problem. Until then, I'll just sigh in annoyance.

the above issue has nothing to do with a subscription running out
it could be the skin and/or system fonts/colors used .. don't know OP never answered that question
it could be drivers need updating....
it could be OP messed with some settings...
Oh, good! Thank you. I was afraid my newfound hobby/obsession (skinning) was approaching end-of-life. I'm relieved.

When your sub runs out, you keep the last version you had installed, you just dont get future builds and updates.
Has the op tried switching skins and if so does the issue still remain? as Bichur said it could be possibly a Skin issue * the skin could even set the Menu text to the exact same color as the Skinned Menu making it look like the text is missing* or it could be an altered setting.
