Gutterball 3D and similar shockwave based games should no longer have a problem with the taskbar appearing on top of the game when in full screen mode. The problem occured due to the app switching to 16 bit colour which made WB turn off per pixel skinning and in doing so caused the app to shift upwards.

I have tried Syncback SE and I cannot get it corrupt at all. I have tried changing skins while it is running too. The IE Favorites menu is not a menu and as such does not support transparency, but it is being skinned.

Additional titlebar buttons are not compatible with WindowBlinds 5 per pixel skins as they are not per pixel aware. Non per pixel skins will work fine with them. You may find they will work if you click where they would normally paint though. We are looking into if there is anyway we can permit them to draw, but it would require WB to manually correct the alpha channel or you would just get big holes where the buttons are.

Apps using overlays (powerdvd for example) seem to have problems when anything per pixel is on screen. If you disable overlay usage in those apps then it should work fine. We are looking into this to see if we can workaround the problem.

If it continues with WB4.6 then it suggests its not WB causing the issue. Check wblind.dll is the right date for WB 4.6 though. What other apps do you have running? Be aware that msconfig will not list every app running at startup.

JRSCCivic98: These forums are for constructive feedback & support. Your post is not only wrong, but inappropriate. If you have anything per pixel on screen the overlay support in a number of apps breaks. For some reason this is not something that happens with Windows Media Player itself (at least here) which suggests the problem is how the media players init their overlays. We are looking into ways of avoiding this, but WindowBlinds is NOT the problem, it merel
