Missing Shut down and restart buttons
Saturday, April 16, 2011 by LadyJB | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I've downloaded several blinds lately with no shut down or restart buttons showing, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
I'm got Window Blinds 7 and IE 9 and Windows 7. Hope someone can help me with this. Thanks, Jan

So the skin isnt showing the normal shutdown buttons or isnt there a button at all ?
Some skins have replaced the old shutdown buttons against something more unique like a skull picture for shutdown that of course is just an example.
But if you dont have any shutdown buttons showing under the startmenu you could open windowblinds and change the skin back to a familiar skin ( one that worked for you earlier )and then try to reload the other skin.

Thanks for replying...I don't have anything for a shut down and I've tryed doing what you said and It doesn't work. I've not noticed this till last nite when I went to shut down because of some bad storms.

If you could post a screenshot of the issue it would help.
Also copy and paste you windowblinds info here it should look something like this:
Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 5.7
Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 6.7
WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 7.2 (build 303 - Windows 7 Edition) - 64 bit OS
WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Did you try a basic skin like the Diamond skin that comes with windowblinds ?
If so is there a shutdown button for you ?

2of3 is on the right track. Do post your "About Windowblinds" info.
You can see if you have the latest and also see if your version of WB is not corrupted by opening Impulse, choosing WindowBlinds and then doing
"Shift + Right click". In the submenu that opens, choose "Verify Installation".

Thanks so much for all the help. I did not have Impulse updated for some reason but that did take care of the problem....now everything's ok. Thanks again

So far the only skin I've had that happen with was Naked Noir (on Win 7).
