WB5 Title bar text woes...

Wednesday, October 5, 2005 by MogWaEE | Discussion: WindowBlinds

I've been using WB5 (latest version which came out seconds ago) and am having trouble on the titlebar text. The text appears but seems to be surrounded by a large brighter box which looks very odd. It only happens on my laptop... it was also happening on my desktop, but somehow dissapeared. I am running WinXP Sp2 with an ATI 9000. Any help would be greatly appreciated, i tried a few drivers on my ati, tried various settings with hyperpaint and cleartype to no avail... this is driving me nuts! Any help would be soooo greatly appreciated! I should also mention that i get a lot of dark distortion when in the WB config dialog, and my menus have artifacts also.



Thanks in advance!

Have you tried the checkbox on the troubleshooting page for 9000 users?
