Ok, I just made sure hardware option in Chrome was enabled and it fixed the skinning issue. Might want to make a note of that in the instructions.

Reply to How to fix chrome not skinning (temporary) in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Sad to say, I am still having troubles with Chrome skinning. I get the borders on the left, right, bottom, but the min/max/close buttons are missing. I am on the latest version of Windowblinds, have made sure it is up to date, but no matter what, I cannot get the top buttons to skin (in fact, they are missing entirely).

Reply to WindowBlinds 11 Release Issue Report thread in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

So far so good with the latest updates with Windowblinds and Start 11; however, I continue to see issues with Chrome... and yes, I've tried all the available workarounds with the change in shortcut and choosing the option in Windowblinds settings. Still nothing is skinned. Guess I'll go back to using Firefox.

Reply to WB v10.83 No Longer Paints Firefox Titlebar in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Check out the thread started by Frogboy right here: https://forums.wincustomize.com/497581/page/1 In the original post it says that Iconpackager and Windowblinds are on the bubble. If they do not receive upgrades, or are left out in the cold like objectdock, then that means that OD would be scaled back. In fact, most of the OD apps are pretty irrelevant already on Windows 10. Which means that I am seeing less and less value for the yearly subscription.

Reply to WB v10.83 No Longer Paints Firefox Titlebar in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I understand the change, Neil, I do; however, making this change with an update to WB for a Windows 1909 issue seemed a bit odd considering that WB was working just fine with Firefox. Excluding it would have been a better option IMHO when Firefox finally closes things off entirely for skinning. I guess, since Stardock appears to be scaling back OD for the future, killing off WB and other software, then it's time for me to move on from renewing OD since I don't see any value.

[quote who="r_pinkard" reply="4" id="3764326"] While Stardock is able to do this, the consumer is also able to seek skinning solutions elsewhere. I consider this to be a lose-lose scenario for both Stardock and the consumer. It seems like a better solution could be implemented. [/quote] I agree completely! I wish they would have simply left it as is for Firefox and implemented a "workaround" or note similar to the Chrome workaround. Sure, not everyone is going to

Reply to WB v10.83 No Longer Paints Firefox Titlebar in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Neil: Don't you think we, the consumer, should have the option to exclude Firefox if there are glitches? Or, at least have the option, as before, of simply turning on the title bar on Firefox to eliminate the glitch? I just find it ridiculous that Stardock just dumped browsers from Windowblinds, just like I feel the dumping of Windowblinds, Iconpackager and other software from OD 2020 because not as many people are skinning, or customizing their systems. If that happen

I would love this if it would eliminate the crowded view in my taskbar on my limited screen size of a Surface Pro 3; such as merging it all into one single app on the taskbar or into a single tray icon. Is there any way to implement this, or is it an option in Groupy?

Reply to Windowblinds - transparent menu problem in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Running latest beta of WB on latest updates to Windows 10. Skins with issues: Real Wood, Leather, RIP 2007... and I've even seen it happen with ICE and EVA a couple of times; but, they seem to be working fine for me tonight. I do not have any other customization software running. EDIT: Well, after restarting my machine, I cannot get ICE or EVA to work either. It should be noted that if there is a window over the desktop, then the menus appear.

Reply to Windowblinds - transparent menu problem in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I too can confirm the same issue happening on my system. Strangely enough, if I change skins several times, or sign out & sign back in to Windows, the menu items will reappear. But, not all the time. It's very frustrating to say the least! It should also be noted that I have a second quick launch setup as a menu within my taskbar and it too has the issue.

Reply to WindowBlinds v10.4.5 beta now available in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Thanks for the update Neil. Yes, for some reason, when I switched over to the other skins such as Corporate and Ice, the tray color did change. So, maybe it is an issue with certain skins not switching it. I was using Lantana at the time I noticed the issue. I'll keep an eye on it to see what happens later when I reboot my machine. Oh, by the way, the Windowblinds tray icon still never came back on for some reason and now I'm finding that the tray clock i

Also, just noticed that Windowblinds is not skinning all UWP apps. In fact, the Twitter app does not skin at all. Yet, other apps, such as the Windows store, skins just fine. Plus, when you click on the + to see the running apps in the tray, the background does not change color, it remains the standard Windows chosen color. And, the Windowblinds icon in the tray randomly will disappear. I've exited out of Windowblinds and reapplied several skins and still se

Reply to WindowBlinds v10.4.5 beta now available in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

Just noticed an issue in this latest build. When you hover over a running app preview in the taskbar for media programs such as winamp, wmp, groove, vlc, you are unable to hit the back, pause/play, or forward buttons in the preview. The preview immediately closes. So, you are forced to open the app up entirely to make those selections. Did not have this issue in the last build.

Yes, all of my icons are visible if WB is not running. But, as soon as I change to a skin in WB, I get the crazy issue with only 2 showing up like in the pic I posted. Also, note that one of my icons appears to be going partially under the taskbar as well. Beginning to wonder if it is an issue with WB on a Surface Pro 3???

Most Of Tray Icons Are Missing in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Currently running beta 2 of the Windowblinds 10 and love it. But, I am having a problem with many of my system tray icons being missing when I click on the spot for them to appear from their hidden state. (I usually have 5 to 7 icons in the tray; yet, I can only see 2 of them.) I have noticed this problem continues even if I move the taskbar into various locations on the screen and there appears to be no way to gain access to those icons. It happens on all skins; so, t

The bug I am reporting directly with Windowblinds happens after the window dialog appears. The "save" & "cancel" buttons, as well as, part of the window frame are slow to appear, and are not clickable until after several seconds.
