windows start menu blank

Wednesday, November 7, 2001 by Baltika | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

After installing Windowblinds, I found that I was unable to read the contents of my start menu as each pull down was blank. This occured with all skins and options regarding backgrounds, menus or borders. Any wisdom on what to do?

Although I forgot to mention this in my post, I've had the exact same problem, along with the icons in my systray becoming huge. No matter what skin I use (or none) or what style start menu I use (I'm using XP) I cannot see anything in the menus, only a ghost outline of the menus. This makes it basically impossible to use WB on my system.

I too would like a fix.

Thanks

Baltika:

Don't know if you've found a solution to this problem, so I'm passing this along to you. In the display properties, disable the menu effects in the appearance tab by clicking the effects button then uncheck then menu animation box. This worked for me using WinXP, dunno about other versions.

Good luck!
