Regarding using the "double click on titlebar to rollup" option in WindowBlinds, does the titlebar have to be skinned for that to work?

WindowFX and window rollup feature in WindowFX WinCustomize Forums

Hello, I'm wondering if it's possible to use WindowFX to rollup windows by double-clicking the application title bar? I know it can be done in WindowBlinds, but I would like to rollup apps that I've excluded from WindowBlinds. There is a rollup command in the WindowFX right click menu, but that's an extra step. Thanks for any suggestions.

When you buy "on the street" you never know for sure what you're getting. Another is ending the pointless prosecution of mostly harmless people.

I smoked a bit in the 60s and don't believe it had any lasting negative effects. If I were to try it again I would go with an edible product as I wouldn't want to inhale smoke. I'd be interested to hear if anyone finds it helpful for insomnia, which seems to be a "feature" of increasing age.

[quote quoting="post"]Anyone else hyped, or feeling especially "meh" about it?[/quote] I probably won't see it this weekend because of other commitments, but I am interested. I feel that Rogue One is one of the best recent Star Wars movies, perhaps because it is less burdened by the characters and history of the previous films. I think Solo has potential for the same reason, ie it's not on the main story arc.

Apps don't stayed grouped after PC wakes from sleep in Groupy Stardock Forums

I'm grouping Outlook 2013 and Chrome in Windows 10. I also run WindowBlinds. The two apps group OK, but after the PC wakes from sleep they are always separate again. I thought that maybe the problem was that I was skinning Chrome and not Outlook so excluded Chrome from WindowBlinds, but it didn't make a difference. TIA for any help with this [e classic]:D[/e]

Reply to Groupy and WindowBlinds? in Groupy Stardock Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Has anyone tried using Groupy with WindowBlinds? If so, how well does it work and does it integrate nicely?[/quote] It seems to integrate fine. I group Chrome and Outlook 2013; Outlook is excluded from WB because it can't be skinned, but it still groups fine with Chrome. It does look a little odd to group a a skinned app together with one that isn't skinned, but functionally it isn't a problem.

I'm seeing a problem with Groupy where windows that I've grouped are un-grouped after the computer wakes from sleep mode. Specifically this happens with Outlook 2013 which is excluded from WindowBlinds and Chrome which is skinned by WindowBlinds. I can re-group Outlook and Chrome and they work fine together until the next time the computer sleeps. Any thoughts about this? TIA

[quote quoting="post"]Has skinning become obsolete and gone the way of the dinosaur? Only time will tell.[/quote] I started using WindowBlinds on XP and I still enjoy changing skins on Windows 10. In fact for me the Windows 10 look is a step backwards compared to Windows 7 Aero Glass, so I hope WindowBlinds will continue to work going forward. I just wish it was possible to skin Microsoft Office 20XX applications as they look very plain. Firefox 57 also does not skin
