The game "Puzzle Quest" loaded from steam. Other games don't make any problems.

When the mouse cursors enters the window of the game (not running full screen) it get stuck to the left border of that game window.

StartIsBack++ 2.9.8

When WindowBlinds Skin is applied (I use Diamond), The Start Menu and Taskbar are very glitchy, possibly caused by StartIsBack. Any way to disable Taskbar Skinning? I don't want to buy Start10 as I already own StartIsBack.

 

My mouse cursor keeps getting moved back to the title bar when I try to move it over the game window when the app is skinned so I can confirm this is a problem.

I can't test this sorry as I use Start10. It gets skinned along with Windowblinds which is why it's my preferred choice of alternative Start Menus. Well actually, I like to use both it and the Windows 10 menu side by side but that's just me.    

Hi!  I've been having issues with PuTTY.  WindowBlinds renders the theme correctly until PuTTY tries to display the scrollbar, which ends up turning into a weird white rectangle that hangs off the right side of the window, over the theme.  The up and down buttons are missing entirely and the rectangle that should let you scroll up and down is crushed into a single pixel tall line.  You can still scroll if you click around where the line is but the line itself doesn't seem to be the hotspot anymore.  Using the tweak settings for scrollbars (or setting it to skin the title only) doesn't seem to help with the only way to really fix it being disabling skinning for the app entirely.  I'd really not like to do that as a black window with a single pixel border (10's horrible default) makes using it with overlapping windows a nightmare.

I've tried a couple different versions of PuTTY including the latest but they all seem to have the same behavior.  It's worth noting that PuTTY does not display a scrollbar until there's enough text in the terminal window to warrant it.  The theme looks correct right up until the point the scrollbar is rendered.

I forgot to add:  the Cygwin/64 terminal window has the same behavior as PuTTY in regards to the scollbar.  I've attached a screenshot:

Hi! I just noticed that my exclusion of Adobe Acrobat Reader (AcroRd32, AcroRd32Info exes) from skinning is working! Maximize, minimize, close buttons visible. 

Thanks much!

Hi, SUMo does not appear to be compatible with WindowBlinds 10.87? When SUMo starts up, it freezes when looking for C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash. I have reported this to the developer of SUMo - see my post at

https://www.kcsoftwares.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3988.

If I close the Flash popup window, then SUMo continues to start normally.

Of the skins built in to WindowBlinds, I have found four cause SUMo to freeze - Acrylic 7, diamond, ice and precision. The rest of the skins do not cause any freezing.

I installed a skin called BetterAero7X which froze SUMo. I have contacted the developer of that skin and he/she states SUMo does not freeze on his/her PC. See my post at

https://www.deviantart.com/fytuf/art/Better-Aero7X-875022700

If I create that folder - C:\Windows\System 32\Macromed\Flash - then SUMo works with all the built in skins and BetterAero7X. Likewise, if I tell WindowBlinds not to skin SUMo, then SUMo starts up normally.

Hi, I am having issues with Firefox. When you are not fullscreen the titlebar draws correctly but when you go fullscreen and then exit fullscreen the titlebar no longer gets rendered and it is a glitchy mess that won't get fixed unless you open a new window and close the glitchy one or restart Firefox. This is the same behavior with my preferred browser Waterfox Classic.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know more on your system.

1. Windows version. Please use Winver.exe to get full Windows version numbers.
2. Windowblinds version.
3. Firefox version.
4. Does the issue happen on all Windowblind styles or just few styles. If few please list down few of those styles.
5. The option/configuration change have been done to make Firefox work with Windowblinds?

Thanks

Hi guys; Happy Christmas etc. and all that jazz.   Ah, I see you're closed now so Happy New Year then!

Assuming this thread is still active, I've found another one. Macrium Reflect loads fine but I've noticed that some buttons have text missing with my skin and there may be some issues with text layout or visibility but it's hard to tell when you can't see it!

Another thing to mention is that the list of excluded apps in the WB settings doesn't scroll so eventually (hopefully improving compatibility will reduce the need for it) entries will go off screen. Not a problem I'm having just yet as I can still maximise the window for more room but just thought I'd mention it as a potential problem for some somewhere down the line depending on how many troublesome apps they need to add.

OK, stay safe everyone and best wishes at this festive time.

Using Window Blinds (10.89-064) with Windows 10 and the Aero 8 Theme.

Had to exclude: Chrome, MyPhoneExplorer, Opera, Pdigin, RadonInstaller, Supertuxkart, Teracopy, Thunderbird and VLC.

So quite a lot of software I had issues with.

(continued soon)

I personally don't skin Opera and Chrome but check out the Advanced Options for more advice on them. I would suggest you have WindowBlinds set up incorrectly. What I usually do is set my skin to the Windows default and apply, Unload WB from the notification icon area on the taskbar, reboot and then apply my WB skin again. Failing that you may need to do a complete reinstall. You can find how to do that in earlier messages.

Another problem I haven't been able to fix, and it's quite a biggie, is the new Microsoft Store. WB cuts the top off the store so you can't see the search bar and other interface elements up there. You can search if you manage to click in the box just in the right place but it's quite awkward. I have this problem with all skins (including Aero 8!) Microsoft Store can't be added to the exclusion list because it's installed in a protected folder. Even if you gain access to this folder which I haven't dared to (I've already had to repair Windows recently, not Stardock related thankfully, so I'm not fiddling unnecessarily), the folder name will change with each new version of the store installed.

The problem with MyPhoneExplorer is not the main window. It starts when you try tu use the chat function, because buttons are out of focus.

Problem with Macrium Reflect's updater app. Buttons have no text, invisible text etc. Still using Aero 8. I like it that much!
