Windowblinds skin causes some text to turn red/orange

Sunday, August 28, 2011 by hg3300 | Discussion: Object Desktop

I am having problems with the "Dragon" skin in some applications, namely Windows Explorer and Apple iTunes 10.4.1.10 (the latest version).

 

In iTunes, the "Now Playing" text at the top of the screen turns red or orange and thus makes it difficult to see. In Explorer, when I rename a file, sometimes the text turns red/orange or fades and also makes it difficult to see.

 

None of the other skins I have used cause this problem.

 

Here's an example of the problem: http://s387.photobucket.com/albums/oo315/hg3300/?action=view&current=example.png

Windowblinds support says that this skin is not supported by Windows 7 but I'm sure someone here could update it.

Dragon was done by Stardock Design. Even if someone did update it, it would have to be for personal use only and could not be uploaded or shared.

Yes, but there is a problem with this because Stardock REFUSES to update the skin. I am very disappointed that they refuse to keep up with the newer operating systems.

 

How about if someone told ME how to fix the problem in Skin Studio? 

I assume it's probably a text issue of some sort, but I don't really know where I'm going in the program.

I am having this same form of problems, but it's just with other skins that I use. I have tried various things from tech support, but no solutions yet....
