WindowBlinds problems
Friday, January 16, 2009 by songman | Discussion: Skinning
I am running the latest version of WB with Vista Ultimate. Ever since I installed the skin W Seven Final I have had two problems. 1) The top of the screen is partially cut off...only about half of the minimize, maximize and close buttons show up. 2) The taskbar is, for some reason, compressing the open program buttons to a smaller size, interfering with how they look but not the functionality. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the skin, which didn't help. Also, the first time I used the skin I selected the "Superbar" option. Now all skins automatically resize the task bar to the large size whether I choose that option or not. I don't know how to resolve these issues and would love any help I can get. Thanks in advance.

p.s. I originally posted this in a different part of the Forums. I got no responses or suggestions on what to do. I'm getting really frustrated because nothing looks right on the taskbar now with any skin I try. I have even unistalled WindowBlinds and reinstalled it.

Hi Scott!
I'm not a tech guy, and have Vista Home Premium on a 32 bit machine: haven't run into that problem, but may I suggest
you open a ticket at Stardock Support HERE.
You can also catch a Moderator on one of the active threads and PM him the nature of the problem or ask him to participate in this thread.
Sorry I wasn't of more help, but the problem may lie in the taskbar resizer script and your OS.

In line with what DrJBHL suggested why not PM or email the skinner that made the skin and see if they are aware of any problems.

Very good idea, Philly. I didn't think of that...and should have...BTW, where did you get the skin? Was it here or at another site?

I got the skin here. It's by Butch123. I did email support. I don't know how to email the skinner himself.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Open un WBs configuration and copy and paste the system information here.
I'm on XP so downloading the WB and running it is not going to help figure this out. It is possitlble that the skin W Seven Final is a bad download. After uninstalling the skin did you run a clean up program and then reboot before reinstalling? The same should have been done when you uninstalled WindowBlinds.
