Anyone Using WB on Windows XP MCE?

Tuesday, February 8, 2005 by geekboy2000 | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

To anyone running WB on a Media Center PC:
Any adverse effects on the Media Center itself? Does anything need to be excluded from skinning? Thanks!

I believe MCE is the same as other versions-- except for the extras included with it.

Unfortunately, at least some skins (many I tried) result in an error when pressing the "green button" to launch Media Center. A dialog appears indicating that the video display or driver is incompatible with Media Center. After clicking "ok", Media Center launches, but the on-screen text/icons look somewhat distorted. Uninstalling WindowBlinds restored proper operation. Other than in Media Center itself, WB works fine, but there's definitely some kind of issue to be resolved.

Geeky boy () You can set an exclusion for the media center app in the WB advanced configuration.
