One thing I've always liked are blinds that use custom min/max/close buttons. But when all three look the same, or four if there's also a rollup button, I end up not using the blind. I like being able to move my mouse to the upper right, instantly picking out the button I need. If I have to count them I give up. This blind is too dark for my eyes so it's not an issue but thought I'd throw in my two cents on the buttons.

There is a Stardock bat file that will purge Wb from your PC and then you can reinstal. It does not delete your settings so they'll be as they were when you reinstall. Below are the instructions for use: The following tool will purge the application. **IMPORTANT** Please save any open documents/work and close out all of your applications including browsers. Please follow this link: <a h

I'm running the Fences 2.90 beta on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. If I move my mouse to a particular place on my screen, even if an application is covering the desktop and without clicking, the Fences popup appears. You can see it in the screenshot I took while writing this post. The location of the hot spot may change after a reboot.

I ran the PurgeWB.bat file and reinstalled and the bad Start 10 menu and missing WB tray icon issues have both gone away. Everything seems to work properly now. Now, if I can get DeskScapes to function all of the time, all the Stradock programs I use would be working again.

My wife's PC was a clean Windows 8.1 PC that I upgraded to W10. We never installed any SD software except for DeskScapes 8.2 because she enjoyed the animated wallpaper. Her CPU was at 20% usage. I installed DeskScapes 8.5 this evening and running the same dream it's now using 47% of CPU. My PC did a similar jump but I run lots of SD and other software and was already at 47% or so. Now I'm running 99-100% making the PC unusable unless I pause

Update: I uninstalled K-Lite Full and installed the Mega pack. The problem became worse. I uninstalled K-Lite completely and the problem seems to have gone away, including, the runaway CPU. Seems my update from K-Lite 8.x to 11.8 may have trashed the codecs. That happened shortly before my update to W10. I spoke too soon! The runaway DS Host is still happening, depending on the dream. Most recent dreams I've downloaded consume nearly 25% o

I'm using K-Lite codec pack 11.80 full. I'll look for the Mega pack. I don't have weeks to get my PC back to running order. That's what a fresh install would entail. By the way, there is at least one other person who posted about DS 8.5 having problems on W10. I can't find his post to see if he ever resolved it.

Since upgrading to Windows 10/DeskScapes 8.5, my CPU has been clobbered whenever a dream is running. I thought I'd try a software reinstall. I uninstalled DeskScapes, rebooted and reinstalled and rebooted again. Now I can't apply any dreams to the desktop. The configuration program shows the chosen dream running in preview but clicking the apply button simply turns the desktop black. Ditto if I double-click on a dream or right-click and choose Set as back

1. WB10 interferes with the default Start Menu All Apps display. see my discussion here: https://forums.wincustomize.com/474160/page/1/#3610366 2. WB 10 does not rememnber the setting to make the icon appear in the system tray. I check it, close the configuration dialog and when I go back in it's unchecked.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="6" id="3610124"] Did you reboot after disabling WB? I have seen that once before with a prototype WB but there was a specific reason for it and WB was modified to resolve it. I assume you do not have ModernMix installed? [/quote] I uninstalled WB10 again and this time after the reboot, the Start Menu problem went away. Reinstalled and it's back. I will open a ticket. Since this is a beta WB it may
