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.

I was unsure about firefox, I've both read that it does and doesn't work, mine is working, but like I say, every now and then it reverts back to ugliness...  at first it kept happening over and over, but now not so much... wish I could figure out if maybe it's something I'm doing or just out of my control.  it definitely *wants* to be skinned, it will play along for some time, totally unlike yahoo messenger which just refuses.

 

didn't know that about windowblinds and rainmeter! so cool   ty  I'll go take a look right now!

I've noticed something, unfortunately is not repeatable  but the only times this seems to happen is when 7zip is opened by way of an archive or if I open my yahoo mail in Firefox from my new mail indicator in my system tray (which is a feature of yahoo messenger).

I have been having the same problem of Windowblinds crashing for no apparent reason and reverting to standard Windows 7 theme.  Sometimes it happens right after booting up after Windowblinds has installed and sometimes it will occur while I am internet surfing on Firefox or reading an email in MS Office 2010.  It doesn't seem to matter which application I am using for the Windowblinds crash to occur.  I love Windowblinds and have been using this program for many years and do not want uninstalling it to be the the solution to this problem.  It would seem that there is some compatibility issue related to my problem, but I cannot begin to know the origin of the issue since the timing of the crash incidents seems to be random.  PLEASE HELP.

I think you will find that anything launched or opened by Yahoo Messenger will be skinned in classic. Open IE from a link within YM or click on the attachment paperclip, you'll see what I mean.   BTW, it doesn't do that in XP.

AHHHH  XP!  AHHHH   (runs and hides)

Hello.

1.- Logitech Gaming Software v.8.40.83 for G510 and G13

2.- Windows 7 x64

3.- Any

4.- The Logitech Gaming Software software does not start if loaded and running WindowBlinds.

WindowBlinds closing and starting Windows, the Logitech Gaming Software driver works correctly

Opera 12

Win 7 x64 fully updated

any skin that is not basic aero

the menu's and bookmarks are white on white intermittently. Restarting Opera helps, but after a while it comes back.

1) Logitech Gaming Software 8.45.88

2) Windows 7 Home Premium x64

3) Occurs on all themes (Galaxas7 & Breeze for 7)

4) Logitech Gaming software will not start/run while WindowBlinds is running.

 

Is there a "fix" or a workaround for this yet? I just picked up WB recently and I'm currently not able to use it for the one reason I bought it.

Hi people i believe i have truly found the solution to the problem with Logitech Gaming Software, i was messing around with the options in LGS itself and managed to get it to work with Windowblinds 7/8? (Confirmed to work with 8 for me).

What i did was went into the general options for Logitech Gaming Software by clicking on the gear icon in the bottom right, then under general i looked down to the Graphics section and unchecked "Enable Enhanced Graphics" (without quotes), then restarted LGS like it asked me to. Once it restarted i realized that it was working with the skins from window blinds again so i double checked by reapplying the window blinds skin and it still worked.

I hope this helps anybody having the problem with Logitech Gaming Software, Not Working/Not Displaying properly, give it a shot and see if it fixes it good luck.

Good find.  Thanks.

Hi!

Just noticed that the window title bar of Adobe Reader XI under Windows 8 is displayed using the regular Windows 8 style, regardless of the theme which is selected in WindowBlinds.

Thanks!

Adobe products run in a sandbox and cannot be skinned.  So ugly.

1) Microsoft PowerPoint 2007

2) Windows 8 64 bit

3) Any theme

4) See below

5) n/a

 

Whenever I am using any skin with Window Blinds 8 running on my Windows 8 PC it distorts the look-and-feel of my Microsoft PowerPoint application.

 

There are 2 major issues and 1 minor issue. 

 

    1. The tabs at the top of the GUI are missing (they are not actually missing just invisible until I click them then all others become invisible).

 

    2. There is a huge dead area starting from about the middle of the GUI down to the bottom. 

 

    3. The tab text (Home shown in the image below) is distorted/fuzzy.  (minor)

 

I use Power Point all the time so I have to constantly unload Window Blinds or use the default theme. I am a bit disappointed because I really like Window Blinds and I don't want to have to uninstall it or just use the default theme (which defeats the purpose of even using it).

 

Below you will find images to demonstrate the issue.

 

Here is what it looks like with any theme applied:

 

MS PowerPoint 2007 - Window Blinds 8

 

And here is what it should look like:

 

MS PowerPoint 2007 - Window Blinds 8 - No Theme

 

I have tried re-sizing the dead space (but I can't), maximizing PowerPoint, restarting, etc. but nothing fixes the issue.

 

Note that other applications in the Microsoft Office Suite such as Word, Excel, Publisher, etc. are not affected.
