Un-Skinned Scroll and Status Bar
with Cyclops
Thursday, December 1, 2005 by liquidguru | Discussion: Stardock Support General
i has a system crash earlier today, and afterwards i noticed that the skin i had been using at the time, the excellant Cyclops, was no longer skinning any scroll or status bars, whether in explorer, firefox, or anything else..the scroll bar is even missing from the preview of the skin in WindowBlind5
hmmm...ok, so i tried rebooting again, no luck..
i tried another skin (5imple), which worked perfectly, then applying Cyclops...no luck
i tried deleting the Cyclops skin with WindowsBlind5, redownloading Cyclops, re-applying it...no luck
i tried uninstalling WindowsBlinds4, which was still showing up in SDC, which, of course, removed WindowsBlinds5 too...ok, so after rebooting i installed WindowBlinds5 using SDC..no problems with the installation, but after reboot, same problem with the scroll and status bars
does anyone have any ideas? the other skins work fine
on a related note...why after uninstalling WindowBlinds4 using SDC, then installing WindowsBlinds5, does WindowBlinds4 still show up in SDC as being installed, admittedly as Version 5?
thanks
