I've read your reply and would like to know how to unload WindowBlinds as I stated I know very little about software. Dumb it down works best lol.

Thanks Dave

 

Just right click on the icon in the system tray (far right of bottom taskbar) and select Unload Windowblinds Dave. When you do that Windows will apply a classic theme. Then just follow the instructions in Reply #27. 

I'm happy, all is again well. Thank You.

 

 Hey, it's WindowBlinds, not Mozilla frackin  Blinds.-  It works just fine with WINDOWS and IE....... maybe not so well with some sorry damn browser that wants to break stuff at every turn. Use FireFox, fine, but stop whining every time they update the damn thing and it breaks something. You FF users take the proverbial cake. Now, enjoy it.

 

 

Such a nice response there. Just an FYI, complaints or concerns are not always "whining". I have been using Firefox for years, now, without it "breaking stuff" at every turn. It really has been compatible with Windowblinds for most of those years. This year, not so much. I'm not complaining or even whining, just putting it out there. If I have to go through multiple tweaks in order to have Firefox properly skinned by Windowblinds, then I will likely go without Windowblinds. My choice in browsers is deliberate and suits my needs. Windowblinds is mostly eye candy that I can do with or without.

Reading through these comments I might be the only one having this problem. 8.09 of WB seems to be cutting off the top of the start menu in Win 8.1 using Start 8. I went back to 8.06 and everything is fine. Sorry I didn't take a screenshot of this. It's no big deal since I don't use any other browsers except IE. Just thought I'd throw in a report just in case someone else was having the same problem. 

 

Might just be your system AlMonty. Works perfectly here on Windows 8.1. Was it doing it on just one skin, or all skins? Did you try to apply the skin more than once to see if it cleared up?

No it did it on all skins. Might just be me. It cut off about an 1/8 of an inch on the top of the start menus.

What DPI are you using?

Neil I'm using a 1920x1200 monitor set at 100%. This is odd I installed 8.09 to take a screenshot to show what's happening WB shows that I have 8.06 installed but Object Desktop Manager says I have 8.09 installed.

Ok I fixed everything. I applied the default theme then uninstalled WB then rebooted. Installed 8.09 from ODM and rebooted again. Everything says I have 8.09 installed and the start menu is correct. I knew it was just me. Sorry I took up your time.  

Tested the beta because of my chrome browser problem with 1 pixel gap on the left right and bottom frane with each skin.
I also opened a ticket and sended a screenshot of the problem - while i was told that there is no fix for it could you please consider looking into it.
Windows8.1 has no problem with the basic skin so windowblinds should be able to achive the same thing.Basic ( default) windows8.1 skin
The ticket is meanwhile closed since there was no fix at the time.

 

Odd, I have been using Chrome for ages and never had an issue like that. Might be a display driver or your systems DPI settings thing.

scaling is at 100% it is all like it should be (smaller) that is 100%.
Changed it once to simulate 4K with the use of windowblinds to show users that it is very easy to have bigger buttons so that even on a small dsiplay windowblinds could be used with this slider, also i had this problem before that.
Also scaling should have no affect on windowblinds.
And if i change the slider to medium Large ... the Problem scales aswell
 It also cant be the display driver since i update it on a regular basis also this problem existed on my previous card a GTX670 that is meanwhile replaced.
Driver is the current 347.09 i always do a clean install.
