Did it change anything else?

Redirecting locations could be upsetting things.

Since you purchased Object Desktop you could use Start8 until we see what's going on with ClassicShell.

Maybe there is some kind of incompatibility with classic shell's start menu skinning?

specially when it's "glassy" skins. I hope you find a fix for it.

Just installed Windowblinds 7.90 beta on an Acer laptop running Windows 8 64bit.  Also have Start8, Deskscapes 8, & ModernMix installed.  Installed ok.  The problem I'm having is in Firefox 21.0 when maximized with a lot of tabs open the scroll arrow, new tab (+), and list all tabs button, overlap the minimize, restore down, and close button.

Suppose to look like this (Windows 8 default):

Looks like this instead (Win8 theme):

Another thing I've noticed with the Win8 theme is the system fonts don't line up right.  The text is right next to the vertical line separator with no space between. Also, is there a way to keep it from changing my fonts when applying themes?  I just want to get back window transparency in Windows 8.  I want to keep the default fonts.  I've checked the box next to "do not apply any skin system wide fonts", but it still changes the fonts anyway.

It looks like the skin needs a few tweaks.  WB8 extends menu capabilities a great deal, so I imagine we will have that improved in the next beta update.

Regarding the system fonts setting, that applies to global fonts like the desktop icon font rather than control fonts.

Actuallly, I'm a bit stumped because the WindowBlinds default theme fonts are working fine. These too should demonstrate problems if it were the alternate folder locations... I install "Venom" and it is working fine... just the "Alluminate" and "VOX" themes are causing me grief on the start menu.

Edit: Actually that may not be true. Selecting "All Programs" in the start menu brings up the install listing and a "Back" row... when I scroll over any of the apps or folders in the listing I'm also getting a "ghosting image" of the "Back" row over the listing entries:

my title bar has disappeared from my windows.

I'm a bit confussed here as to the actual problem and hope someone has an answer. You show two screenshots and they are different sizes which may be the problem i'm seeing.

The win8 theme pic has a border all the way arond it and the win7 doesn't. If the screenshots are correct may it be the the windows8 menu is a bit smaller? That would answer the font problem and adjusting it right for win8 would make it to far right on win7.

Also wondering if all win7 skins look the same way. I don't have a fix for this just wondering if it's possible the menu sizes are different between 7 and 8. Sorry I don't have 8 so can't check that out.

Using Windows 8 Pro x64.  I changed my skins a few times and now my Windows Explorer background is totally transparent, no matter what skin I choose.  I re-installed the beta several times to no avail.  Has anyone else seen this?  Any suggestions on how to correct it?

I have the same issue with my G19 key board and mouse . Both Logitech , use the same software .

Windows 8 Pro 64 bit .

It sounds like you altered the explorer transparency settings under backgrounds and set them to very transparent.

Got it.  Thanks!

Installed on my Surface Pro tablet  - no problems encountered

Installed on my desktop system - no taskbar transparency in any skin. window frame transparency works fine. Adjusting taskbar transparency manually darkens and lightens the bar (full trans=white, full opaque=black, shades of grey in between). Tested with included Diamond skin. Taskbar has transparency working in default Win8 skin.

• x64
• its not skin related problem its more like a compatibility problem between these two programs

I hope I gave enough info my english is bad I'm from finland, keep up the good work I like how stable windowblinds 7.9 beta already is

Found another problem with the Win8 theme.  In Firefox 21.0, a lot of times when I try grab the scroll bar, my cursor changes to resize the window.

See if excluding LCore.exe in Windowblinds Config lets it run (Posts 11 and 12 here)

Hi,

I have Windows 8 Pro 64bit on my machine, after installing and registering windowblinds the main skin selection screen comes up. I can choose any of the skins on screen when a dialog box comes up stating windowblinds not installed correctly and do I want to fix this, I click yes but no skin gets applied.

I have tried to uninstall then re-install, but I get the same error message.

I know its a beta, but can any one help on this matter.

Thanks

Do you use ESET?

are you using eset antivirus? you have to allow wbcore.exe to run under HIPS rule management

ShellFolderFix doesn't work properly with WB either. It doesn't save window positions as it suppose to.

So now neither ClassicShell Startmenu skins nor ShellFolderFix doesn't work, so i i'm forced to turn off WB.

I'm using Win 8 Pro x64
