It's nice to see you're updating these classic WindowBlinds skins. Any chance you could do the same for old IconPackager sets? It's hard to find decent sets that work properly on new Windows versions.
Thanks! That does fix the problem. However, some themes look worse without per-pixel frames, and I'd prefer them to look as the author intended. Is there another workaround to fix the issue? Or will there be an update that fixes this?
[quote who="basj" reply="3" id="3756285"] 1) Thunderbird and Pale Moon made from Mozilla engine. Similar to Firefox. Which I know have some compatibility issue with Windowblinds and one of it is the missing title text. As of today latest version of Firefox still not fully compatible with Windowblinds. This might be because they have their own skinning engine build into them. [/quote] Update: I can confirm the text in the titlebar appears when the windows

That's it! Thank you.
Windowblinds 10.82 on Windows 8.1 Pro (9600.winblue_r4. 141028-1500) All themes Thunderbird, Pale Moon, and Stardock programs. I just discovered that, oddly, the title does show when a titlebar button is moused over.
For some reason, on Windows 8.1, not every program has the text drawn in the titlebar—not even the Windowblinds config screen. Beyond Windows programs, it's 50/50 if a program's titlebar gets skinned. Is there a reason for this? Is this a common issue, and, if so, is it going to fixed in a future release?
Thanks! That fixed it.
Windowblinds has been working great for me on Windows 8.1 since I installed it a few weeks ago. However,a couple days ago , it decided to make every theme unusable: Menus have huge buttons, text in some areas like the control panel are tiny, and things like the clock are invisible. A recent update may have caused the issue; in "about," it appears to say it was updated around the time I encountered the problem. However, reinstalling WindowBlinds didn't help. I also
Windowblinds has been working great for me on Windows 8.1 since I installed it a few weeks ago. However, yesterday, it decided to make every theme unusable: Menus have huge buttons, and things like the clock are invisible. A recent update may have caused the issue; in "about," it appears to say it was updated around the time I encountered the problem. What do you suggest I do to fix the problem? Is there some global setting I can change? If a reinstall is what it will take, will I los
I am running some older software that uses the 3D object color of the classic theme. I know Windowblinds can skin this because the color changes with different themes What color do I need to change in Windowblinds to change this color? Thanks.
IconPackager seem to be really buggy on Windows 7 and it won't remember any IconPackages that aren't default. I will create a new icon package, copy it to the IP folder in Shared Documents, add it through IP and continue on my merry way...until I want to change the icons. Then one of two things will happen: The icon package will have disappeared from the list, or some icons will have disappeared from the package. It's really annoying because it means I have to manually reset each
Never mind. A restart made the toolbar appear again and fixed the breadcrumbs. I should really have tried that first... [e digicons]:|[/e] I'd still like to know how to remove the command bar, but maybe I should make a new post asking that.
Breadcrumbs is the replacement of the address with clickable links to every part of the address. Compare the Windows Vista+ address bar with XP's and you'll see what I mean. I don't want to hide the menubar—my custom toolbar is on it. I want to use Windows' menubar instead of replacing it with WindowBlinds' (which doesn't allow toolbars on it that I can see).
I love WindowBlinds, but was disappointed to learn upon installing it that when a theme is applied, it replaces the command bar/menu bar with its own. I don't have a problem with this in theory; it's nice to have that on Windows 8+ instead of the awful ribbon, and I guess it's easier to skin the command bar by replacing it. But I don't like the way the menubar is replaced. I have a custom toolbar in the menubar that doesn't show up when I have a skin applied, and I
Yeah, retailmenot is funny like that. Pressing show coupon code opens Stardock.com in current tab and opens a new one with the coupon code in it. Maybe not if you block popups? Sometimes it copies the coupon code to the clipboard and opens the site. Anyway, I KNOW it works because I just used it.
I'm in the USA and just tried it and it worked. It's also on the US site . Just the Canadian site was the one that showed up first on Google for some reason.
I did some Googling and found a coupon here that works and discounts it to $20. Pretty sure it requires you owning something else in OD, though it might work without it.
This forum or the WinCustomize forum? Is there a particular subforum I could get an RSS feed to or something? Thanks by the way.
That explains it. Too bad Stardock didn't tell me about that two weeks ago. I've been subscribed for a year and all they send me is weekly ads for full-price software that I already knew existed... Do you know if the promotion is offered frequently? I'd be willing to wait a couple months to save $15, but if we're talking a year or two...
Ah, thanks. How did he get an upgrade offer for $20, I wonder...? Have you seen OD go on sale ever? I've been watching it the last year, and this is first StarDock discount I've ever seen. But I guess nothing will beat the 30% discount—unless that will stack with the sale price...

I have two items in Object Desktop: Fences and Deskscapes. It's $35 for me to upgrade. I've seen that they can be had for $20 . Do I have to own a third program or something? I was going to buy WindowBlinds during the sale, but I want IconPackager and Theme Manager and everything that comes with OD too. If I buy WB for $5, will that save me $15 to upgrade? (netting $10 of course; I know mat
Right, I said I wanted to upgrade to Object Desktop. I'm just trying to find the cheapest way to do it. Please reread my original post. :)

[quote who="DaveBax" reply="1" id="3628854"] Based on your thread last year asking about MuColors and an Alienware skin you like to live back in the xp days or expect to have xp skins work correctly on win7.
