While this isn't a windowblinds issue, it is a skin studio issue?

I just got rid of Impulse and am having the following problem:

I just removed Impulse from my system, and installed all the apps from SD Store.

Skin Studio 7 Pro has a generic icon in the all programs menu (which I can fix), and what's worse, when I right click the shortcut, to pin to start menu, that option isn't listed.

It's there for the other SD apps, just not for SKS.

Small thing, but it should let me pin it to my start menu.

Pin to start menu, and pin to taskbar are both missing.

Windows 7 64 bit.

RedneckDude: Thats a bug in the SKS and IP installers.

I have passed it over to the right person so it can be resolved.

This, IMHO, is support at it's finest. Thanks Neil!   

1) KVIrc (found at http://www.kvirc.net/)

2) Windows 7 64-bit

3) Sublime in the screenshot, but it seems to break on any skin

4) My scrollbars have disappeared. The one on the far right (for the nick list) has been replaced by a black bar, the one slightly left of it (for scrolling through the actual channel text) is replaced by whatever was in the area before (if I drag it around it "smears", if you know what I mean)

Screenshot: (the normal locations of scrollbars have been circled in red)

SiriusLives: I cannot make any promises with that app.  It uses the very flawed (theme support wise) QT toolkit.

Having looked into the KVirc app, I have resolved the problem with the scrollbar and some controls vanishing on mouseover for the next WB update.

There are still some issues, but they relate to the framework that app uses and not issues with WindowBlinds.  These issues are usually it using the wrong text colour for the various states of controls.

It doesn't work well with Alcohol 100%. The menu doesn't work to say the least. I have to go to Windowblinds' setting to take care of this (Easy Fix) though I'd rather I wouldn't have to.

Alcohol 120% does appear to look better with the "I want WindowBlinds to use Vista UI guidelines when skinning menus" enabled.  The menus appeared to work fine though other than the text could have slight edges to it depending on the skin.  If you are having different issues with that then please say which OS it was on and the version of the app and a screenshot if it would help.

I have modified WB to force the Vista guidelines for menus setting on that application.

There will still be a few issues with their menus due to bugs at their end.  The menu selection image is painted OVER the icons rather than under and they appear to have assumed the selected menu item shares the same colour as the normal menu item.  This is a somewhat common error in applications that opt to paint their own menus.

Aida64.

Button is displayed in the middle of the titlebar even though there isn't supposed to be one.

roflmfaoo: I initially thought this was a skin bug, but having downloaded the app it appears it is the app itself.

It adds a button to the titlebar, but their code doesn't work for Windows Aero when the DWM is on whcih is why you do not see it in your screenshot of Aero.  WindowBlinds is allowing this (I guess that makes us more compatible...) and so the button gets painted.

If you kill the dwm service you will notice the button appears on the titlebar with Aero without the DWM too and likewise in Windows Classic.

Unfortunately they are using the toolwindow close button image which looks pretty odd.  It seems the button is designed to make the window minimize to the system tray.

1) Media Monkey 4

2) Windows 7 64bit

3) ANY

4) Media Monkey uses some very weird tabbing and menus in the titlebar.

Program: Tiles

OS: Windows 7 64 bit

Theme: Fearomone

Problem: I can not get the fearomone skin to install in Tiles nor can i change the skin in Tiles. I have uninstalled this program completely and re-installed this application and still no luck. I have no option to change the skin in my configuration window for Tiles. I do not know if this is because i am using the free version or not.

This forum post is for issues relating to WindowBlinds and not tiles. You should post this in the Stardock Support General section.

Sensui: The free version does not support third party skins.  To use skins you would need to purchase the Tiles bundle or the Third Party Skin feature from the Add Features page in the Config UI.

When i click the button while windowblinds is active it doesn't do anything. But it's no real hassle i can just force aero when i use it (which isn't very often).

Thank you Neil

c242: MediaMonkey has it's own skinning, is that happening with it turned on or off?

Scratch that, seems to happen either way.  Looks like UIS0 skins seems OK, but I haven't tried more than a couple.

At the moment I use MM skinning with an exclusion in WB. Undesired, but that works. Yes, either way.

Can You please consider an interim update ASAP so that this drama stops already :

C242: That is most unfortunate given we told them we were working on it and I actually sent them a long mail last week!
