How to enable skinning of the Tablet Input Panel?

I just bought a subscription to both ObjectDesktop and WinCustomize. I'm trying to solve this problem.

Tuesday, September 13, 2005 by z33driver | Discussion: WindowBlinds

After installing ObjectDesktop and WinCustomize on my Tablet PC, my Tablet Input Panel (the little app that lets you write ink or use the onscreen keyboard) is not skinned. It looks pretty nasty while the rest of my desktop looks really cool. Kind of puts a damper on the experience.

I am running Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 on a Toshiba Satellite R15-822 Tablet PC. Is there an easy way or an option to enable TIP skinning that I am missing?

Thanks.

I assume you're using Windowblinds (Object Desktop is a package). Since Windowblinds is only able to skin applications that are windows-drawn, it will not skin the Tablet Input Panel. There is unfortunately no way to get around this, as owner-drawn windows (such as the Tablet Input Panel) do not use a standard which we can customize.

You might want to add the Tablet Input Panel to the exclusion list in Windowblinds just to avoid any potential problems.
