I don't seem to have a download button for WindowBlinds 10.0.04 on my download page. Is this because I have the upgrade? I do have the button for Start10 1.10.

I just noticed that 'Quick Access' buttons in W10-Windows Paint do not work when they are in the header but, they do work if you move the Quick Access toolbar below the Ribbon.

Which skin are you using?

"Driftwood" by 'Dangeruss'

I'll check some other ones and post back.

paint shop pro 7 only skins the UIS2 frames and frame buttons. Any chance of getting all of the rest of the graphics to skin?

Wow, now that is a very old PaintShop Pro! You should really upgrade.

Your problem sounds a bit weird though as PaintShop Pro does not skin anything, it only uses the UIS2 frames for windows within the program. You say it only skins the frames and buttons, but UIS2 frames only have the frames and buttons, nothing else.

Actually that's not true. Things that used to skin with WB7 and WB10 does not are things such as pull down menus - mouseover for pull down menus - spinners - track bars - standard buttons - tab backgrounds - group boxes - and any other graphics associated with an older program. As PSP7 is my primary in use program it quite unnerving to see windows default non-graphics while using.

I went back to a restore point, which has created some other issues. Hopefully something can be worked out with Stardock to update WB10 for older programs (circa 2000 - eeks) or provide me with usable WB7/SKS7 programs as the restore didn't go as desired.

PaintShop Pro 7 is not a theme aware app and this can be seen by switching back to the OS default skin.

Support for skinning applications that pre date Windows XP (when theme support was introduced) was removed a long time ago in WB. Certainly WB8 did not skin them and I thought it was removed in WB7 too but perhaps not.

I am afraid this is will not be changed as those applications are so rare now that the cost of including support exceeds the benefit by a significant amount. Removing that improved the product for all the other modern apps.
