Friday, September 17, 2004 by Korgul | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Hi,

I use 4.40.030.

If i use MenuShadow, in Windows XP display section, and use WindowBlinds, and in Internet Explorer, and selecting favorite menu, it make shadow garbage bug.
For the moment, the only patch, = Is to [not use] "menushadow", in WindowsXP ControlPanel Display apparence section, = Instead [use only] "WindowBlinds MenuShadow option".



An other bug, ...

= I am using Forceware nvidia driver, if i go to "Nvidia ControlPanel", some text have a background text displayed, instead if transparency bacground. If i dont use WindowBlinds skin, it dont make TextBackground in color, in nvidia control panel.



An other bug, ...

Yes, I get that too. But it's not really Windowblinds' fault that NVidia uses non-standard Windows controls and windows. Don't know if putting that window in the exclusion list would work... Lemme try...

OK, after some checking, I found that it depends on the skin. Some skins are fine, while some do as your screenshot. Now I'm stumped, no clue why.   There doesn't appear to be a way to exclude a display property window from WB.


With this skin, it's fine.


But with this one, it's not.

And it doesn't seem to be a UIS1/UIS2 issue. It's the first thing I checked.

hmm, that bug looks similar to a bug you will get in the favorites menu when you set a certain color.

This is also similar to a bug you will get when you use dialog backgrounds. The text always seems to have a frame around it.
