Start menu problem with *most* Winblinds.
Sunday, February 27, 2005 by Dark Warp | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Can anybody here help me?
I have this problem with most skins. When the start menu is open, the background image of the startmenu is messed up (it begins to tile.) Also, the "all programs" text is all weird, like half of it is off the screen. If anybody can help, the would be great. I can post a screenshot if needed.

As you can see, the "all programs button is messed, the background image is tiling, and just general weirdness.
The skin in the pic is DogmaX

Looks to me you are using 120dpi and most themes are not designed to use that.
Right Click on your desktop, go to properties. Go to the settings tab, then click on the advanced button. Under the general tab is a DPI setting. Normal size is 96DPI which what most blinds are designed for.

Heres a screen:
As you can see, the background image is tiled, the "all programs" button is doing something funky, and just general wierdness.
(The skin used is DogmaX)
Any help would be appreciated.
Sorry for the double post, something went wrong.

Phoon was wrong, that's not my problem. My fonts are at 96DPI and always have been.

Are you using any of the Font Overides in WB config > User Overrides?
