WindowBlinds that don't make browser (Chrome/Firefox) menu bars see through?
Saturday, June 14, 2014 by bestdestiny | Discussion: WindowBlinds
I've tried a few Windowblinds on my Windows 8.1 laptop and I've noticed they tend to make the menu area transparent around/above the address bar in Chrome and FireFox. Perhaps in other applications as well. (see screen shot below)
Is there a way (typically) to prevent these areas from becoming transparent? Seeing other windows behind the browser is distracting and drivng me nuts. Okay, I was already nuts.
Thanks,
Todd

Try applying the default Chrome theme, then reapply the WB.

Curious. I shut down the laptop and went out to dinner.
I returned, started up the laptop and the transparency problem in Firefox is gone. However, it still persists with Chrome. I am using the default them in Chome, although I tried switching to another them and then back to see if it would improve.
Below is another screen shot where it is more evident that a portion of the Chrome menu bar is invisible. If I click the right area it works as if it were there. 
Thanks for any suggestions,
Todd

Odd, I am using Chrome and that does not happen on any skin.
