That is how things work in Windows.  You have a colour scheme but it applies to everything.  Applications do not get their own colour schemes.  If you have an application which does not look good with some colour schemes then often it is a case of the application using part of the OS colour scheme (say for the background) and then putting hardcoded black text on it.  Basically they assumed backgrounds would be white in which case why did they ask for the colour scheme?

Excluding an application will exclude it from the theme elements, but not colour scheme as that is a system wide thing.

I would never recommend using a dark theme as you are much more likely to run into these issues with colour scheme assumptions.

I use a dark theme because it is better for my eyes. I don't want black, but too much white gives me headaches.

VLC 3.*

Hi,

there is a problem with the VLC version 3:  when themed, the right and bottom edge/margin get extra fill with color, which gets corrupted (turns into black/dark gray) once you try to resize the window. I tried with various custom and default WB themes and the problem persists. It goes away once the app is excluded from WB skinning.

I have the previously mentioned corruption of all Steam drop shadows, I've also found WindowBlinds to not play nicely with the current version of Chrome because it has internal skins.  I've also had to exclude both the Nox and Memu android emulators from WB.  OBS (Open Broadcast Software) gets corrupted and had to be excluded from WB.  

So I mean thats like 80% of the things I run on this machine that I've had to exclude from WB.  Some of them its wasnt even skinning anyway it was just interfering with their internal skins.  In the case of OBS the WB skins weren't respecting the internal window contents.

WIndows 10 64 Pro build 1803

Windowblinds and the new task view in Windows. Every time I use it, the screen locks and I have to force log out and then log back in, in order to use my pc again. I tried it several times with several different skins, and I get the same result.

Hi there I'm new here. I was wondering if you guys can help with a problem I am having with Windowfx. I downloaded windowfx free trial a few days ago. I noticed that everything works flawlessly except the file Explorer window. It just won't do any of the effects. So figured it would maybe be fixed if I purchased the full version which I did. But it still doesn't work. I am on windows 10 1803. I see it working on all the videos everyone has made. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if I posted in the wrong thread. I'm just a newbie here.

Thanks for your quick response. I tried the purge. But got an error saying registry value not found and it uninstalled windowfx. I rebooted and reinstalled windowfx. But it's still the same no change. Anything I can try? Thanks again.
