WindowBlinds skinning for Microsoft Office apps?
Wednesday, February 26, 2003 by nestes | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
For some reason skinning isn't working properly on all my Microsoft Office applications. All my other applications are skinned just fine. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm running Windows XP, Office 2002 and WindowBlinds 3.4. None of the Office applications has the toolbars or menubars skinned at all. The scrollbars are OK as well as the active title bar.

Office has its own toolbars and menus. It doesn't get skinned by WB.
kthxbye

Unfortunately, this is fairly commonplace too - and IIRC it stems from developers insisting on using /their/ own methods of creating menus/etc. than the Windows 'standard'.
Office XP uses the new .NET style toolbars and menus. Windowblinds (and even visual styles,) won't touch them.
I've a ton of programs written in Delphi that don't get their menus and toolbars skinned with either.
(Now those Delphi programs - they do some /weird/ stuff too, like sometimes not appearing at all in my taskbar in Blackbox.
