WindowBlinds is no longer registered
Friday, November 4, 2005 by Lord Jeb | Discussion: WindowBlinds
About three weeks ago I changed my skin to use a custom color. Yesterday I went to change it back and I do not have that option any longer. My WindowBlinds icon does not show up in the system tray either. I was able to change the custom color in the registry, but need to know why my WindowBlinds doesn't think it's the full version.
When I go into Stardock Central Registration, it shows that I have a "Object Desktop Subscription" that does not expire until July 5, 2006. As far as I know this should be all I need to have full capabilities in WindowBlinds (and until recently it WAS all I needed).

Ok, I have this working once again. There were some very strange things going on that may or may not have been related to WB. I had to remove everything from my PC, including removing a bunch of stuff manually from the disk/registry.
Then installing WB once again is now working correctly. Interestingly enough, I don't think I realized initially that the custom color settings are now on the preview screen of WB. When I installed from scratch it popped up a message box to tell me that.
