WB4 and Directory Opus
Saturday, April 12, 2003 by rikkie | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Hi there, Does anyone know why directory-opus doesn't get skinned at all with windowblinds ?? If so, is there a work-around ?? I hadn't really noticed at first but someone mentioned it at a users-group of directory opus and he was right : it simply refuses to be skinned ( including the forced skinning option , even that doesn't work with it !! ). Ther must be some technical reason for this ....

It tries to skin its main window titlebar & so WB4 will stop its skinning of that window. You will notice the config dialogs skin perfectly and they have an additional titlebar button, so its clearly some leftover code in directory opus thats impacting the main window only.
WB4 is very good at detecting such issues to prevent compatibility problems (such as skinning apps which self skin)
