WB6 & 7: Titlebar/Window Frame flickers when above 3D app & per pixel frames are enabled
Saturday, November 14, 2009 by steelsnake | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Fresh WB6 install (registered), upgraded to WB7 beta, on WinXP (fully updated, latest drivers): WB works fine UNLESS a skinned window is in front of a window with 3D content. Then the window frame flickers. That's unfortunate insofar as I work primarily with 3D tools and of course 3D games.
The problem goes away when disabling per pixel window borders, thus it's fixable. However... is there something I am missing to get it all to work even with per pixel borders?
WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 7.0 (build 79 x86)

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

It sounds like your video drivers are doing bad things in order to improve the performance of windowed 3D games.
You could try a different set of drivers to see if that helps. I know there is at least one set of nvidia drivers out there with seriously broken OpenGL clipping.
