Windowblinds Tray Icon
On Windows8 Tablet
Wednesday, January 7, 2015 by RedneckDude | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Does anyone know why my systray icon for Windowblinds looks like this on a 10 inch Windows 8.1 tablet?
At first I thought it something to do with being a trial version of WB, but I uninstalled that, and installed a full version, still the funky icon.

Can you send us more screenshots? A hover over to show it says WindowBlinds or the like would be great. Looks like a circled x image right now.

Did the WB program icon change too in the start menu? Or just the tray icon? Do you have IconPacakger installed? Sometimes when I change iconpackager themes, I find the icon associations change inapproriately. If you right click the WB program icon in the start menu, and browse to appropriate folder wheere the WB program is located you can re-associate WB with the proper icon. I suspect that will change the tray icon too, though you might need to reboot.

Is it 32 or 64 bit?
It looks like you have a bad tray.dll (assuming 32 bit). Did you have a different version on there before?
32 bit.
64 bit processor, it should be 64 bit OS...hmmm. It says it's 32 bit Windows 8.1.
I had a trial before. Was testing a tablet friendly touch version of a skin for Basj. Yall were off for the holidays and my activations were maxxed. So I installed a trial. It has been uninstalled and I installed a full version. Activated.

Sure. I'll post screenies here, and if you want, can PM you copies?
The normal icon in the install directory looks normal, just the tray icon.

It is 1/4 of a circled X image. Odd, I know.
