Installed blinds not showing in Display Properties but Showing in WBlinds Advanced Configuration

Monday, September 20, 2004 by Lantec | Discussion: Stardock Software

I recently bought a new laptop and installed my Object Desktop through Stardock Central. I'm using WBlinds 4.40+.
When I install a blind it shows up in the Advanced Configuration Window under "My Skins" but only the blinds that were installed with window blinds show up in the Display Properties selection window. I can apply the blinds through the advanced window but display properties always defaults to the "Classic Style" and the buttons on the window revert to classic style as your cursor passes over them.

Any Ideas??

I've seen this reported by others. If I recall correctly the fix was to backup your skins, then uninstall, reboot, and reinstall. I hope this helps.

I tried that and it worked fine for the first wb that installed. Every other since then has not shown up in the dispaly properties list. I've also noticed the blinds that don't show, when applied through the advanced config window have some problems with them. The easiest to notice is a block near the taskbar bar to show hiddedn icons. The block sits above the button which does not paint. I also get non skinned menu buttons in the all programs menus. This happens to skins I know previously worked fine such as Airlock. Currently I'm using WB 4.40.032 on a new VAIO laptop running a 1280x800 screen.
