Not sure that this counts as a "bug" - can't get windows to roll up/down with right click

Sunday, November 1, 2009 by sophiesboy | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I just moved to Win7 (64-bit Home Premium) this weekend, and so far everything is working quite nicely.

One thing I just can't seem to get to work in WB7 though - under "settings", I have the "Action to take when right clicking on a titlebar" set to "Rollup/Down Window". So far, this setting seems not to have any effect.

Here's my data:

Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 5.9
Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 6

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 7.0 (build 228 - Windows 7 Edition) - 64 bit OS

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Screen.exe         2009/10/22 07:40:01

As I said, my system is Win7, 64-bit Home Premium, and both my Graphics and Gaming Graphics scores are "6".

Aside from this, Win7 and WB7 seem to be working extraordinarily well.

This is not a big problem, but it would be nice to know if it's me or the program.

I skimmed through this thread, but didn't see this mentioned anywhere. Any thoughts?

Rollup was buggy the whole time in vista.. more than likely is in 7 too.. I'd be willing to say its not 'you'

Seems to work with most programs but not in Explorer for me. It will sometimes roll up, not roll down, have to close the window and reopen it to get it back.

The reason I asked what skin or skins is I'm running win 7 Home Premium 64 bit also, what to try the skin.

Any skin I apply. In Explorer, I right-click and I get the default Windows menu...Restore, minimize, maximize, etc, I click a half inch away and it rolls up, but still shows the Windows menu, I click a half inch away again and it rolls down but stills shows the Windows menu.

No problems with programs like Photoshop or C4D or any others, just in the Explorer window.

Using Win 7 Ultimate  64 bit.
