I have been working on a skin for the past several years it seems like.
When the new Windowblinds was released everything skinned OK except the first frame in the Start menu panel background wouldn't show.
Then..
After the second release of Skinstudio for the new WB was installed everything in the XP went haywire.
What is happening is the left and right side skins but all the middles are not being skinned. THe taskbar is black with just skinning under the start button and tray.
When I put 3.5 back everything works fine. I have been on pins and needles waiting for another version of the new wb hoping it is the alpha that is causing this.

Also IE doesn't work when 3.9 is installed.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could get the middles of the XP taskbar and start menu to skin.
I have the painting method set correct with no margins because it skins OK with 3.5

Thanks in advance

There seems to be a problem with 3.9. I can use the same skin on 2 XP computers and it will be fine on one and not so fine on the other. Don't know why.

Yeah. I've had similar problems. It may be worth waiting till the next release and using 3.5 for now.

Thanks for the confirmation. I have installed 3.9 several times thinking it would work. Wishfull thinking.
