I have this application called SkinStudio that is having some iss...

Kidding, really cool inactive, Neil, let's hope people will make use of it

1: Yahoo Messenger

2: Win7/64

3: Any,

4: Some pictures will help.

This is Yahoo Messenger with no WB, note the Aero frames and only the interior of the window is skinned by Yahoo.

This is Yahoo on startup with WB applied. Note the frame/titlebar is missing on the main window and the chat window is skinned in classic.

This is how messenger looks with WB applied after you open messenger preferences and reapply a skin. This is also how YM looks if Windows Classic is applied by WB. Note the frame is skinned by the yahoo app itself as well as the interior of the window.

YM used to load fully skinned as in image#3 until about two WB updates ago. There have also been one or two YM updates in that time, so I can't entirely blame either app. No amount of excluding that I have tried will make YM launch skinned correctly.

5: Not reported

As can be seen in Wiz's images, I can confirm his report, I tried the same things on my rig and got the same results. Does applying the Mircosoft Aero skin via WB Config actually disable WB? Can it be the services for WB (still running in task manager) that are helping to cause this? I ask because YM works correctly with Classic loaded via WB config.

Can I ask why you didn't report it?

1: It hasn't been doing it very long.

2: The work-around was easy to do.

3: I was hoping an update from YM or WB would fix it.

4: I was too lazy to do it.

Sorry excuses, I know. Better feedback gets better software.

It was mentioned in the forums here, but I failed to give any real details.

I didn't report it because there are so many whiney threads I was afraid I'd be classified as a whiner.

I do think it has been addressed, just not as in depth as this.

I figured it was a Yahoo thang, not a WB thang.

I have to say it looks nicer in classic than in Aero.

We will look into why it is unhappy as WB should detect the use of custom titlebars and auto exclude.

I agree, the Aero frame just doesn't look right. Fortunately, I rarely have WB unloaded. (only for this ss, in fact) 

Thanks for looking into it.

So basically WB causes these 2 buttons to resize with the form and not stay at the bottom like they should.

It happens on whichever WB I apply and classic looks really ugly. Although Aero doesn't look as bad the only problem with that is if i set per application setting for it and define Aero colours as the skin the titlebars don't skin and the rest of the app is windows classic like Wizards 2nd screenshot no titlebars.

Which app is that?

It looks like uTorrent.

1) The app name

Total Commander 8, 64 bit

2) The OS you are using

Vista

3) The theme you are using

Any non-Aero

4) The problem you have encountered

5) If you did report it to support a ticket number would help.

Nah, the 32 bit ver is not affected, so I use that untill this issue may be fixed.

Total commander is already fixed internally.

Yahoo IM should now work as it used to.  I believe the issue was a change on their side rather than a WB one.
