Latest non Beta WB 10.89 and show hidden icons button cut in half.
Friday, July 23, 2021 by SGT Snuggles | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hello I have a problem in that with most skins I have downloaded and applied the show hidden icons button is cut in half. I have the latest available version of Windows 10 installed.
I do have the news and interests toolbar to show text and icon. Even if I change to only show icon it also chopped in half.
All the newest skins by Essorant display this issue. Yet a skin like Beach by Ross Fairbanks displays the button correctly.
Is there a setting which I am missing? Can it be sorted out?
Thanks Andrew

Hi Basj, here are some of the skins which don't look right.
https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/9443/ (Yellow by Essorant-retired master)
https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/9442/ (Charger)
https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/9439/ (Cubano)
https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/9437/ (Jingo)

Lantana by Essorant which came preinstalled with WB.

Hope this help.

Hello,
I've tested on Lantana but I do not see the issue. Could you please post a screenshot on what you're seeing on your system.
Thank you,

It seems you are using another app (battery meter) that's shown on the left in your screenshot. I think that's what's causing this issue. Try and disable it and see what happens.
Edit: Have you used some registry hack/software to remove the "Show Desktop" button? It seems to be missing in your screenshot and could very well be the reason to your problem.

@JanOscar I have even tried with the Lenovo Vantage Toolbar turned off(the Battery Meter). No registry hack/software to remove any buttons.
On Windows 10 (latest 21H1) all I do is go the bottom right of screen and click there to show desktop. There is no button to click.

I wonder if you can try to uninstall that application and reboot and see if it help. If it does work, than it show that application is causing the issue.

Not every skin has a visible Show Desktop button, but if you hover/click over the bottom right of a taskbar, the function still works. Also, I tested several of the skins on your list that you are having issues with, and do not have that problem at all, so I am sure it is something on just your system causing the issue you are having.

Hide the news and interests bar on the taskbar. Does that fix it?

@basj I turn off the Lenovo Vantage Toolbar and the problem is still present.
@Neil Banfield If I just have it show the icon only the problem is still present. If I hide the news and interests then the problem goes away.
If I switch to a skin like https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/8996/ Beach by Z71 I have no problem with the news and interests being on (Both Icon and Text showing) and leave the Lenovo Toolbar on.
Also the preinstalled skins that come with WB display correctly.

Turn off or uninstall? Sometimes with turn off the Taskbar GUI do not reset properly. Need to uninstall and reboot.

Hi Basj
I uninstalled the Lenovo Vantage Application and rebooted. The issue still exists. I had Charger as the skin applied.
So it must be something else.
Regards
Andrew

If that weather info isn't part of that lenovo toolbar then I'd say that's your issue, not the battery toolbar.

With News and Interest toolbar active I tried a three more skins.
Flamingo by Lightstar and Veritas by 2of3 display the button properly(Not cut off).
Neutrality by Lightstar on the other hand does not display the button at all. If set the N&I toolbar to show only the icon , the button is not displayed as well. It looks like it gets hidden under the N&I toolbar regardless of the toolbars settings.

SGT Snuggles, I hate to tell you, but the News and Interests, Icon and Text, or just Icon, work perfectly here on Windows 10, same version you are using. These problems are just with your system only, no one else has ever reported issues like this. All my skins are designed and tested by myself and one, the problem does not exist. I just tested Neutrality and it is fine.

@LightStar. Thanks for the confirmation. Will have to do more digging around and see if I can find something else that cause an issue.
@basj @Neil Banfield do these Dates etc for the different WB Files look correct for 10.89?
