I don't know how much it is asking, but would it be possible to diffuse (blur) the background for the glassing effect rather than just a sharp clear picture?  The title text and text behind the glassed effects are difficult to read sometimes and blurring would solve that.

Both tested versions are 7.91

We believe we know what is wrong with this, so hopefully it will be sorted in the next update.

Thank you sir....

Do you have a screenshot of this?

I'm actually having a problem with the WB UI and not the program itself.

Something tells me that there should be some text on the blue buttons. I was only able to find "apply" by accident.

Also when I started it up the first time there was a dialog with 3 choices. but there was no text to indicate what those choices are. I found out by trial and error that the bottom choice was "activate the product". but even then, there was no text labels on the entry fields where you put in your account mail and password. I have tried the interface with Aero applied just to test.......same.

It should be noted that the same dialog box showed up on deskscapes and sks.

I also have no WBconfig icon in the tray.

It appears your video drivers are not up to the job and the parts of the UI that use newer text rendering technology (DirectWrite) are painting blank.

You should be having the exact same problem in DeskScapes.

Some of our other products have code to check if the drivers are buggy, but it seems this was missing from the WB config app, so the next update will have this so it can detect they are not really painting any text and fall back to the older GDI based text rendering.

On mine, WB 8 beta, there are no names for the skins. They only show up when you mouse over them.

Thanks! I was wondering the same thing myself.

I don't think this bug has been reported yet:

Bug

With some applications, Windowblinds may cause the responsive areas associated with one or more buttons to be misaligned.

Example: the bottom right corner of the pause/play button on the VLC media player will become unresponsive if the Stardock Win8 skin or Adni18's 7 Plus skin is applied. The entire surface of the button becomes unresponsive if Win8 Metro is used. Interestingly, no such problems occur if I use the old XP Cobalt skin.

Exempting the application from being skinned resolves the problem. The button can also be made fully responsive by minimising then maximising the application.

I had a similar problem with one of the Photoshop 6 menus, but cannot now reproduce it.

Media buttons are not skinned properly to the taskbar. The buttons are weirdly misaligned. Happens on VLC media player and Windows Media Player. 

On WB 7.95 , Win 8 64 -bit
