did you restart the pc, after you apllied a skin for the first time?

Not after the applying the skin, but I did restart after I installed Windowblinds. Shouldn't need to restart each time you change your Windowblind.

The problem is now solved. There was an update to Fences3 this morning. After installing that update I now can apply Windowblinds  and wallpaper and keep my Fences and right click ablility.

I wish an "apply" button is more readily visible on the main screen of the wallpaper choices. (took me a bit to figure out I just had to double click the wallpaper....kept looking for that stupid apply button that wasn't there)

I like the new Windowblinds 10. A big thumbs up for the beta.

It is Jonathon and Thank you all. It has been very rough for me because she passed away here at home where she had wanted to have this happen. God I am depressed and sad, 14 days have passed now and still feels so empty in here, sorry for putting this on here, just happend. Agian thank you for caring! I do have a question about cursor Fx, it seems when I use it that the pointer goes uner the start botton and same with the sart mnue screen to how do I fix it, if possible because I am left handed and that works well for me except this new problem.

Jonathan, the CursorFX question would be better posted here: https://forums.wincustomize.com/forum/177 not here because this thread (and forum) pertain to Wincustomize News. About your recent loss, there are members here who can empathize with you, and many will support your grief. In fact, you might even have been contacted by some already...

This particular forum is  less suitable for that contact...private messaging and this forum are probably better suited: https://forums.wincustomize.com/forum/189 .

Again, please accept my condolences.

Gonna be a bit before I can test this. Glad that it's out because I will most definitely be reinstalling Windows 10 on my laptop to be able to update. I only went back to Windows 8 because I couldn't use my blinds. So woohoo!! on that.

On a sort of off topic note, does anyone know what or where the wallpaper is that they are using in the screenshots above? Is it supplied with Windowblinds 10? I love the rainbox effect.

Thanks and Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas (if you celebrate)

Gave it a go today and installed WB again, just for the fun of it not because I've missed it much.
I see that skinning Firefox is still a challenge. No issues with Chrome or Opera.

The caption bar is "missing", no matter what state the window is in:

Fullscreen:

 

Windowed:

Fully updated Win10 (offcourse)
Happens with all skins.

That is particularly odd as WB does not skin Firefox on Windows 10.  It is excluded due to Firefox rendering its own Win 10 look on the titlebar.

I'm seeing the same thing with Firefox 43, ie no skinning along the title bar.  This is also true for Microsoft Outlook 2013.

Victek, Stardock has stated that WindowBlinds does not skin Firefox on Win 10.

 

MS Office apps have never skinned good, if at all. Nothing new there.

While WindowBlinds 10 is in beta only active ObjectDesktop subscribers can download it.

Office 2010 skins fine on WB8 - only quirk is titlebar text not skinning.

Daiwa, I also use 2010. Word and Excel have always skinned. However I use Outlook all the time and it has never skinned. How did you manage to skin that?

Didn't have to 'manage' to do it.  It just skins the same as Word & Excel here, 'out of the box' so to speak.  Only the frames, just to be clear.

To be clear Office 2010 has the standard title bar, while Office 2013/2016 have the new "app" (aka metro) look which doesn't accept WindowBlinds skinning.  It's a bummer because Outlook 2013 and Firefox v43 are the two applications I have open all the time.
