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.

roflmfaoo: I initially thought this was a skin bug, but having downloaded the app it appears it is the app itself.

It adds a button to the titlebar, but their code doesn't work for Windows Aero when the DWM is on whcih is why you do not see it in your screenshot of Aero.  WindowBlinds is allowing this (I guess that makes us more compatible...) and so the button gets painted.

If you kill the dwm service you will notice the button appears on the titlebar with Aero without the DWM too and likewise in Windows Classic.

Unfortunately they are using the toolwindow close button image which looks pretty odd.  It seems the button is designed to make the window minimize to the system tray.

1) Media Monkey 4

2) Windows 7 64bit

3) ANY

4) Media Monkey uses some very weird tabbing and menus in the titlebar.

Program: Tiles

OS: Windows 7 64 bit

Theme: Fearomone

Problem: I can not get the fearomone skin to install in Tiles nor can i change the skin in Tiles. I have uninstalled this program completely and re-installed this application and still no luck. I have no option to change the skin in my configuration window for Tiles. I do not know if this is because i am using the free version or not.

This forum post is for issues relating to WindowBlinds and not tiles. You should post this in the Stardock Support General section.

Sensui: The free version does not support third party skins.  To use skins you would need to purchase the Tiles bundle or the Third Party Skin feature from the Add Features page in the Config UI.

When i click the button while windowblinds is active it doesn't do anything. But it's no real hassle i can just force aero when i use it (which isn't very often).

 

Thank you Neil

c242: MediaMonkey has it's own skinning, is that happening with it turned on or off?

Scratch that, seems to happen either way.  Looks like UIS0 skins seems OK, but I haven't tried more than a couple.

At the moment I use MM skinning with an exclusion in WB. Undesired, but that works. Yes, either way.

Can You please consider an interim update ASAP so that this drama stops already :

C242: That is most unfortunate given we told them we were working on it and I actually sent them a long mail last week!

Thanks for the screenshot, Carl.

Indeed, and obnoxious, imo.

It's all about choice of vocabulary and his is poor at best.

The second sentence NEEDS to be revised.  It implies deliberate intent to break another's product.

Using a trial version of Photoshop CS5 and I seem to have problems with dropdown menus not displaying anything. It can be one or two menus, and it seems to be completely random as to which it will be.

I've tried to resolve the issue by setting per application and telling it not skin CS5 at all. That makes the document frame appear but where the document is supposed to be is blank. If I move/reposition the frame it makes the document appear... until I stop moving it, then the document area vanishes again, making it impossible for me to work on anything.

The only solution I've found is to set CS5 to use a different skin. It doesn't actually do that, but it makes everything work, albeit in a Windows classic skin (even though it was supposed to be Aero Metals).

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this as I know there are people here that use CS5.

 

App name: Photoshop CS5 (64 bit)

OS: Windows 7 64 bit

Theme: Any, so far

StarCandy: I checked CS5 the other day and did not encounter any problems with it.  What other applications do you have running and what graphics card do you have?

I will say you cannot set UIS0 skins like Aero Metals as a subskin.  That will simply make WB exclude the application as UIS0 skins are system wide only.

Do you have the same problem with the 32 bit version of CS5 that the trial also includes?

I had the above problem yesterday with PS CS5 32 bit, on Windows 7 64 bit. I restarted PS and it fixed itself.  Just saying.
