And . . . here is the fix. The psp.exe module had a properties-dialog compatibility setting applied to it -- run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP 3. Remove that setting, and the program runs under WindowBlinds skinned without problem. So I think this whole topic is now resolved (except for the extraneous, and not essential, question about how to get the unskinned skin for skinning). Thanks all who read and replied.

Yes, exclusion is effective as a work-around, but my reason for posting was to hope to find a pointer to a fix. By the way, when I exclude the program from skinning, it gets shown with a decent-looking skin. But that skin is not part of SkinStudio, and SkinStudio's start-a-new-skin option produces something different ("Diamond"). Any idea how I could get the excluded program skin to show up for a base for a new skin in SkinStucio?

Winver reports Version 1903 (OS Build 18362.418). Paint Shop Pro is Version 7.04. WindowBlinds is 10.84 (059 - Windows 10 Edition) - 64 bit OS. There are many problems with PSP and WindowBlinds. For all of this I uninstalled WB, wiping it completely, reinstalled it, set up to use Precision XP skin, and then did the following. If I load PSP I get a nice window. <img src="https://cdn.stardock.us/forums/69/94/6994800/5c50121d-2f0d-4714-9a4b-41bb87bc81bc.pn

Basj, I think you replied before my edit to the original post got sent (ten minutes after the original post). Since the problem has vanished for the nonce, I will defer a reply. If it returns, then I will supply the additional info you request, as well has try to do additional isolation before asking for help. Happy holidays,

[A few moments ago I posted what appears in the following paragraphs. This has been going on for days. Now, literally fewer than ten minutes after the post, all of that has stopped, and have no idea why. So for the moment things are fine. If the problem comes back I will ask for help again -- it has been going on across boots and logons and logoffs -- but right now it is gone. I apologize for the inconvenience,. It is nice that this forum has a magic

You bet I back up. All I really want to do with SkinStudio is recover the old WIndows XP style frames and titlebars. In the good old days you could easily set active and inactive titlebar colors and text colors and active and inactive frame colors. Worked hard to get Win 7 to do this, including buying Windows Style Builder, But WIn 10 and its awful framing and coloring have made this much harder. Stardock's ShadowFX can be used (with some editing of its generated pictu

Glass frames is the place -- thanks. I had thought that "glass" was an overlay of some sort on top of the normal frame, so I had not tried editing it directly. It appears to be a completely independent frame applied (as you point out) in some (or many) cases. This was a nice first experience on this forum.

Windows 10, newlly purchased WindowBlinds. I am trying to change the titlebar and failing. For testing I am using the Precision skin, in Windowx XP or Windows 7 mode. The closest I have come is Window frames -> Per Pixel -> Borders -> Caption. If I edit the image, adding random scribbles for testing, and apply the result, the captions of some things change, but not the titlebars of most programs, including SkinStudio itself. If I change the text alignmen
