It has come to our attention that some people may have had issues with some apps and WB and opted not to tell anyone about it.

Obviously we would like to know about them so we can resolve the issues.

If you have had an issue with an app caused by being skinned by WB, please post the following information in this thread:

1) The app name

2) The OS you are using

3) The theme you are using

4) The problem you have encountered

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

If the issue is visual a screenshot would help and where the app is more unusual we would like to know where we may be able to obtain a trial or demo version of it from.

Please note that we are not looking for bug reports on making skins here.  This is specifically for application issues.

Google Chrome dev-m Aura builds, both Windows 8.0 and 8.1.  Titlebar is completely transparent, and no controls.  Also a gap between the window border and the actual window.

Likely due to the new hardware accelerated UI.

I have the same problem, but it is now with the standard Chrome channel.

1) Google Chrome 32.0.1700.76 m

2) Windows 8.1 Pro x64 upgrade-in-place (was working fine previously)

3) Win8 (WindowBlinds); Default (Chrome)

4) The minimize/restore/close buttons in Chrome are missing.

WindowBlinds 8.01 (020 - Windows 8 Edition) - 64 bit OS

I have tried "Ignore This Application and Do Not Skin It" but the buttons only reappear if I completely unload WindowBlinds.

1) jZip

2) Windows 7 Pro x64

3) Win8 on latest WindowBlinds 7 and latest Windows 7 Professional (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130828-1532)
WindowBlinds 8.02 (022 - Windows 7 Edition) - 64 bit OS

4) When I right click on a file that is compressed, or a file I want to compress, the text field of jZip:s options is empty.

+1 As above, but a bit different and with more applications; java programs, explorer.exe, Yadis, 10Muse. Each time when I have to browse in those aplications to a folder location everything in that popup is empty. Happens with all skins.

1) Firefox 26

2) Windows 7 Pro x64

3) Win8, Windows 7 Professional (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130828-1532)
WindowBlinds 8.02 (022 - Windows 7 Edition) - 64 bit OS

4) When I apply Firefox themes for the upper Firefox border, the theme don't expand to the whole area. Without WindowBlinds it does.

SovereignGFC,

I have this issue sometimes regardless of WindowsBlinds.  The next time this instance happens, try seeing if restarting the "Themes" service causes the windows to return to normal.  At the moment I only have Start8 running, so I know that my issues are not related.  My problem comes the longer Windows and dwm runs until dwm eventually crashes but the Themes service doesn't know to restart which leads to funky looking windows.

 

Hope this is of some help,

Regards.

1. Anuko world clock

2. W8 Pro 64 bit

3. Innomatum

4. Anuko and Window Blinds togethor freeze taskbar. Unloading either WB or Anuko solves the problem

5. Issue now reported to Anuko

Anuko World Clock Compatibility Notes

Occasionally, situations occur when another product interferes with normal operation of Anuko World Clock. There are several types of such products:

  1. Antivirus products that may issue a false alarm. Symantec's NAV was doing this in March 2007, other antivirus products often do a similar mistake.
  2. Security products that prohibit writing data to the product install directory (where Anuko World Clock settings are stored). In this case you will not be able to save and keep your clock settings. According to one report, ESET's NOD32 is doing it as of March 2010.
  3. Security products that mistakenly treat installing a taskbar hook as a threat and interfere. Installing such hook is a legitimate and the only way for us to show clocks in taskbar. In this case you will not be able to see Anuko clocks in taskbar (only on desktop). As of 2010, there is at least ONE product that is doing this.
  4. Various Windows shell / interface improvement products that radically change the look of Windows. In this case operating in taskbar is often impossible. WindowBlinds is one of such products.
  5. Faulty or improperly installed video drivers. Read the Incompatibilities with Video Drivers section for more information.
  6. Website "advisor" products that may treat some of our websites as potentially harmful. McAfee SiteAdvisor is one example. Combination of such false alarms with their telemarketing approach to sales is very annoying.
  7. Screen extender products that expand desktop working area to multiple monitors. Some of these products, such as Matrox TripleHead2Go may have an option to launch programs on a particular screen. When this option is used, the device driver interferes with clock positions and forcefully moves desktop clocks.

 

What to Do in Case of Incompatibility?

When you encounter an incompatibility the best option is to report it it to us and to another product manufacturer. We will do our best to help, if another party cooperates. Very often the problem needs to be fixed in another product. Therefore, it is best to communicate the problem to all.

1) Metro context menus (right mouse button);

2) Windows 8.1 update 1 64bit, WB 8.03;

...

4) Metro context menus (right mouse button) - missing. Without WindowBlinds everything is OK.

Oops... I didn't realize this topic was relevant until after I posted a separate topic on it. Sorry.

1) App: Photoshop CS6

2) Windows 8.1, 1920 x 1080 res, NVIDIA driver (everything is updated)

3) dream loricae (bingxueling)

4) Files appear blank when opened in photoshop. Seriously. Just black. It's unusable, and I can't use WindowBlinds on my new comp because of it. Tried disabling themes from applying to Photoshop (64 bit ver)--didn't work.
edit: I also noticed a problem someone else also has--the text scrambles.

5) Ticket ID: WDK-932-61615

Exclude Ps from Windowblinds:

Step 4 - is just checking the top box in the window that will open when you click "open" in 3. 

Then just OK that and *poof*...no more problems with Ps being skinned.

If you read the post properly, you'd have known I already tried it. That was the first thing I tried.

on Mar 30, 2014

1) Classic Shell

2) Windows 8.1

3) "Win8"

4) The right column of the start menu text is black instead of white.  As soon as you unload WindowBlinds it goes back to the normal white.  This happens in a few other skins as well (i.e. Corporate) so it may be a skin issue.  Either way the start menu is very difficult to read in black.

By the way, I know about Start8, and I would use that instead...if only it could do the fly-out menus for All Programs I think it would be perfect!

on Mar 30, 2014

And not to hijack my own post, but in Windows 8.1 whenever WB is loaded and you right-click on the desktop, the menu is always in Arial instead of SegoeUI...a minor issue, sure, but it happens no matter what skin I choose.  I've tried to adjust the Font settings through WB but nothing changes that.
