Problem with the Taskbar
Wednesday, November 23, 2005 by Vertigov | Discussion: WindowBlinds
Hi everbody!
I've got a odd trouble with my taskbar when I try to apply WinBlind theme, specifically, after application, all the elements are changing properly except the taskbar; what is happening it's that the WinBlinds resets the taskbar's skin to the Win Classic and doesn't seem to change it anyway on the theme's one... I tried to play with preferences of the WinBlinds, it just doesn't work.
P.S. By the way, how can I manage to stick the DesktopX widgets to the desktop so that they don't be minimized after "show desktop" action ?

... I'm really-really sorry guys, but it appears that I installed not a full version, but shareware 
sorry for bothering you, I just downloaded and thought that it's kind of freeware, but now I see what do you mean 'paid'; there are not so much chanses in Ukraine to know stuff like this.

I'm using the Shareware version and the taskbar gets skinned. That version does skin the Start bar...I've got the free one running right now.

me too, cdob. the paid older version (4.0) doesn't skin the bar but the free, latest version does.
even after multiple reinstalls, the paid one does not skin the taskbar. just reverts to windows classic taskbar which plain sucks.
it skins the titlebar of my installed programs, but not xp directly-related folders(my music folder/my documents/etc).
could anyone please help us out?!? PLEASE.
my lappie:
(equipped w/ 4.0 version/xp/with an intel processor/6800 ultra/1.25 gb of ram ).

HAHAHA! got it to work! to people having problems, this is exactly what i did:
stop themes service.
click properties --> disabled.
restart.
windowsblinds will reload at startup. unload it.
run services.msc - restart themes. then, click on properties --> automatic
right click - display properties - xp theme.
reload windowsblinds.
booyah!
dunno. maybe just stopping and restarting themes service will be good enough.
hope this helps.

Now we're saying windowblinds installs new (old) OS?
