Clitch in WB4.20?
Sunday, December 7, 2003 by WebGizmos | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Since updating to the newest WB version I now have an eratic skinning problems. The problem is that the taskbar is only partially skinned. Sometimes the start button is not skinned and then sometimes the area around the button on the system tray is not skinned. If I go and re-apply the skin I am using this applies the the portion of the skin that is missing, but then when I restart my PC the next time it is gone again. And when I try to rollback to the previous version of WB4 that option is not available in the panel. So...has anyone else had this problem?
Update: Found how to restore the previous WB4 version and the skin works fine now, so there has to be some sort of "glitch" in the recent version of WB4.20.

never mind. If I change skins everything goes back to normal. I guess I can't restart my computer any more.

Hey Travis...it's possible that your stuff was archived and you didn't know it. If you click on "file" then "archive/restore" then "restore existing" it should bring up a window with dated versions of everything you had archived. Find one dated before you downloaded the latest version and click on it to restore it.

In this case...death is a good thing. Glad you got WB up and running .....even if you don't know what your 'puter is doing

Travis...when you reinstall the older version it will ask if you want to update WB's blinds in your stardock list...don't do it because you will just reinstall the newer version again...just ignore the update prompt. And don't totally ignore Yrag's suggestions, because he knows more about this stuff than I do. I only knew how to fix this by figuring out on my own. Since rolling mine back to the previous version everything is working fine.

I should know how my 'puter is working, but VirusScan is beyond me. Thanks for all the help.
