Application window does not display correctly when launched
Thursday, October 13, 2005 by Martin Wheeler | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hi,
I have recently installed the WindowBlinds Beta & since then I have one application that does not display correctly when launched. The application Is Nortel Networks Contivity VPN Client & the version is V04_65.18. If I unload WindowBlinds or set the skin the XP default the application displays correctly. However when I use any other skin the application window flashes up for a split second then disappears. It's not too much of a pain as I can easily unload WindowBlinds, but I though that you may be interested.

Yes, WB will ignore programs you exempt from skinning. However I have had scroll bars skinned with current skin on programs I have WB ignore. AOL Explorer for example.

Sorry,
I should have mentioned, I already tried using the "per application" option and setting WindowsBlinds to ignore this program. Doesn't seem to help.
