Please let us know

If you have compatibility issues with WindowBlinds and an application or game, please do let us know in this thread so we can investigate it and hopefully resolve the problem.

Please make sure you are running the latest version of WindowBlinds first and that the problem exists with a theme included with WindowBlinds vs a downloaded one. 

Please provide as much detail as you can, screenshots of the problem, information on the application itself, how to reproduce the problem and if possible dmp files from any crashes. 

The information on the about WindowBlinds page and information on your setup would be helpful too.

How do you replace it?

Unfortunately, it's not free:

Maybe there is a freeware that does the same, you could try to google it.

If you into Skinstudio you can change that part with a dark color graphics. Here is how:-

Open Skinstudio. Load Corporate.

1) Go to Edit Titlebars and frames.

2) Select UIS2 Frames : Select Non captioned window edge.

3) On Image tab (lower left) Need to change that image to something else.

4) Click on dropdown arrow.

5) Search for and select "min_Window_caption.bmp" look like this part compatible for "Non caption Windows edge"

6) Save the skin.

7) Appy skin.

8) Result if it was done correctly, you should now have that on your system.

Thank you,

Thanks! Works great. Can you please adopt that or add a Dark Mode variant in your next  release so that I don't lose this change.

Sorry, I can't do that. That design is not mine to alter as I like and upload it to others. What I can do is tell how you can change it and use it on your own computer without circulating it for other to use.

Thank you,

Ok, so I just got to reproduce the fix. It is possible for Windows Blinds to keep a log of these hot fixes? Or can we contact the author?

Side issue with the theme:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/xmlzcdcrn40n5q5/Taskbar.png?dl=0

Basically I have several apps running. Only the active tab is clear in the task bar. The other active apps don't even look like they are running which confuses me. For example, File Explorer is running. Can we somehow make it clearer the icons on the task bar that are "running" but not "active" app?

My application resizes the print preview window of IE to fit the screen. When I don't use a skin it sizes and displays nice. When I do use Corporate it is offset and does not look as nice. See?

Corporate was design to use a lot of dropdown shadows. And since that shadows is build in/fixed it can not be turn off. Only option here is to tick the "Do not use per pixel frames even if the style supplies them".

This solves another problem I did not report yet: I had to use the "Shift Pixels Vertically" to see correctly the additional controls that Actual Windows Manager ads to each window, which was a real pain. Now, the controls stay aligned.

AWM users will understand what I mean.

Thanks.

A remark for Corporate users that have problems with the taskbar.

For my taste, opinions may differ, I found out that if you use the taskbar of this theme:

it gives a really nice result.

The whole Win Retro theme is too dark, but its taskbar is perfect.
