[quote who="Aussie007" reply="17" id="3768485"] I have W7 and I am using Google. I am thinking of trying edge. I also have IE installed. Should I remove both these other browsers if I install edge?

Reply to MS W10 update botched yet again in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="Jafo" reply="1" id="3759237"] Oh....I'm safe....my 2 machines on 10 are stuck on an old update fuck-up from months ago.[/quote] Yes, sometimes that's a good solution. Windows 10 feature updates are largely smoke and mirrors in my experience. I was an "early adopter" at first, but now I wait until Windows Update starts nagging before I bother.

[quote who="Nerius" reply="18" id="3752596"]Otherwise it's back to 1809. It's MS to blame. They just keep changing Windows 10 as the never ending beta.[/quote] I have a similar POV. Unless there is some important feature in a Windows 10 update I just wait. The big Windows 10 updates always have the potential to break other software, not just WindowBlinds. I will continue running 1803 until all of the compatibility issues with 1903 are sorted ou

Yes, unfortunately there's nothing that can skin Office 2016 applications. At least you can use the built in dark theme in Office 2016 to cut the glare.

Reply to how do I go about recoloring a windowblind in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

After you've selected a specific style you should see a link called "Modify Style" to the right of the style preview. After you click on it the rest is straightforward. Note that some skins recolor better than others; you just have to experiment. I usually start by clicking on the color squares and see how it effects the preview. Hope that helps.
