Reply to WB on Vista is borked in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

[quote]IR... I had a similar issue a while back and it had something to do with the 'Themes Service' in Vista not running. While XP seems to run WB just fine with the 'Themes Service' disabled, Vista apparently needs this service enabled to apply blinds correctly... well that's what I found, cos once 'Themes Service' was re-enabled all was well and WB's applied correctly/those selected other than 'Diamond'.Also, I dual boot XP & Vista on separate drives without issue, but yrag is right in that

Reply to Cairo Shell using Windows Blinds in a "Cairo Screen Shot" in Community WinCustomize Forums

Why can I not run WindowBlinds when I take Cairo screenshots? Cairo isn't intended to replace the VS at this point and we are not claiming it a part of Cairo. I am not trying to hide anything (heck I even enlarged my task manager). In fact, you may notice that I'm using a different blind nearly every screenshot (I'm using Elegance in the video for example). Cairo is a shell replacement, not a VS.

Reply to HUGE Vista Wallpaper bug in Wallpapers WinCustomize Forums

I think if you set the wallpaper to one of the first three options you don't get this, the rest give you jpeg artifacts. This also happens if you set the wallpaper from Windows Explorer or Windows Photo Gallery instead of the Appearance Control Panel.

I don't think great skins come out from the stuff done in SKS as much as the design done before-hand. You can't easily teach someone to get good at art. :NOTSURE:
