Problems with skinning applications

Sunday, February 3, 2002 by nytiger73 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I am having a problem with skinning most of my applications. After the skinning takes place and I open one of my apps, part of the right hand side of the screen is getting cut off. Its only a minute amount of space (maybe a quarter inch or so, if that) but highly annoying nonetheless. I have an Nvidia GeForce 2 GTS with latest drivers and BIOS. I am running WinXP Pro. I have tried different resolutions, different refresh rates, tried adjusting some settings on the monitor itself all to no avail. The only thing that fixes the problem (temporarily) is if I minimize and maximize the active window. But as soon as the window is closed and re-opened, the problem comes back.

This is only in my apps, and not in areas such as My Computer. And I've only noticed this over the past couple of days. I would like to think its only a setting somewhere. I'd hate to have to set this up so none of my apps get skinned.

Probably the latest version of WindowBlinds. 3.15 and up appear to have a problem with MaxBorderCut on some skins. I think the coders are aware of the problem. A temporary fix *might* be to add SizeLimit=1 to your wb.ini in the Windows directory (I really have no idea if this will work or not, since I'm not getting this particular problem).

It tends to happen to me after I maximize a window following the use of the "show desktoP" button. It's been happening for the longest time

it's been happening for the longest time, but I never reported it because I didn't really mind it that much.
