Possible WindowBlinds Bug
Applying Explorer Backgrounds
Thursday, January 20, 2011 by RedneckDude | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hey Neil, I happened upon this problem, don't know if it's been addressed, or if it's just me.
Whenever I apply an explorer background in WB 7, then go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Fonts
I get this. All skins. And it fixes itself if I maximize, but returns if I restore. Only if I use an explorer backgrond.

I was able to duplicate the problem with a twist. When I used an explorer background all the fonts vanish and in the bar on the bottom right where it lists how many items are in the folder it says zero, no items. Go back to the default background and it returns to normal, all items listed.

That's been going on for a while Uvah, I think that is a windows thing. Refresh it and the fonts will populate.

Jim, how is it that you and 2of3 have the same build number, but some of your files are different? (look at the dates)
Screen .exe
SevenConfig.exe
Wbload.exe
Wbhelp.dll
Just curious....

You guys are nuts...lol
I would like to know why my numbers are different tho. Norway doesn't have it's own version, does it?

I did do a complete OS reinstall with a fresh download of WB recently. I'm guessing that when WB updated on Jim's system, it didn't replace files that haven't been changed from a previous version. Whereas I installed the latest version directly.
