Windowsblinds skins not showing up???
Thursday, February 19, 2004 by Emperors_Hand | Discussion: Stardock Software
Hi I have a strange problem with windowsblinds. Only about 6 of my installed skins show up in the display properties window (the one I get by right click on desktop). If I actually go from there to the windowsblind program window then they all show up in there.
It's obviously not a major problem since I can still get to them and switch to them.
Just wondered if anyone had come across it.
Only seems to have occured since I updated to latest version.

You must have skins in two different places. Maybe when you updated windowblinds, it created a new windowblind folder in your old windowblind folder. It could create conflicts too. Especially if you have multiple exe or dll files. If you don't have multiple program files, you can just move the skins folders that are missing to the location that Display properties uses, once you have found them. If you do, back up your skins, uninstall windowblinds, erase the directory and reinstall.

And yes, I have had many different scenarios with your problem. Switching from CM to SDC can cause that problem. Switching from sharware to enhanced version can cause that problem. It is sometimes best to uninstall before updating with a major update.

Also, try deleting the .cat files from the Windowblinds folder, and then see if the skins show up in display properties.
