Anyone any ideas how to fix this?

from WinCustomize Forums

Always wanted to try John's Naked Noir theme on Windows 7 but can't seem to to get the transparency to work...........As you'll see on the image the start menu is a straight black and the task bar is a creamy grey!

I bet the fix is staring me in the face but I can't see it.........

Here's what I'm seeing...........

Yep I've selected the Windows 7 substyle..........

Your WB version is way out of date. You'd better off updateing it if you can.

^ true... Leo, is your WDM running? Try running a Windows Experience Index.

*edit: I don't believe it is a problem with the skin itself, Leo.

I get that every now and then with Naked Noir and I have Windowblinds 7.4. Re-applying the skin fixes it.

Thanks guys..........tried re-applying many times and still does not work..............I know its not the skin as John's themes are so well made and I've seen the Win 7 update of this skin on several screenshots and they all look great.........looks like I'll have to update my software. Thanks everyone for your help. |-)
