tray icon missing refuses to show when box is checked

cannot add programs to be excluded from skinning

crashes excel 2016 when hitting the open button. before the dialogue box opens to choose files

crashes when trying to add programs to exclude list

None of those seem to be customisations in the sense that I was expecting.

The tray icon setting not saving is known and fixed internally.

Adding apps to exclude is not having an issues here (and is two of your list of four) I have tried on multiple computers and it works just fine on every single one.

I have not tried Excel 2016 so cannot comment on that. We have no other reports of similar yet though.

How about adding the rebuild list button, Neil. PITA to have to manually install over 100 skins.

I kinda wonder why you started this thread in a support forum. Then ask that we go to another thread for support.

This is more of an announcement thread. Seems out of place in a support forum.

Just an observation, Spencer. You're the boss.

This thread is in the Object Desktop forum in the Stardock forums, which it appears differently on the WinCustomize forums.

The other thread is to try to keep the feedback in one thread to make it easier to address.

Really, you're making too much out of it.

Just installed WB 10 beta along with Start10 and my desktop is back to its old, beautiful self. Even my old favorite WB skins are working beautifully. Start10 has made waiting for WB 10 a lot easier but it sure is nice to have WB back again. So far, everything is working beautifully and I am over the moon happy.

Where/how do I fix the tray icon, considering its a known issue?

Windowblinds 10 is GREAT with Windows 10 !!!

the issue is that 95% of the themes must be Updated for Windows 10.

I just WISH that Iconpackager was Updated for Windows 10, man I really HATE the default Windows 10 icons ...... there are some awesome themes with icon packs.

Stardock MUST Updated Iconpackager or I die !!!! LOL

Seriously, Most themes for Win 7 and higher works perfect on Win 10 if applied correctly with "Start 10", "OldNewExplorer" etc
