Taskbar Icon always resets. in WindowBlinds WinCustomize Forums

I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I am running Windows 8 Pro. 64 bit with Media Center. I have Windows Blinds 8.0 and it works fine except for the taskbar icon. Every time I boot up or restart my computer I have to reset the taskbar icon to show in the system taskbar. this problem is the same on all of my four computers and nothing I do cures the problem. I suspect that since Window Blinds is still in beta that it is a bug in the program.&nbs

I was wondering? Is anyone else having problems with the system task bar icon for Window Blinds? Meaning once you set the icon to show in the system task bar the Window Blinds icon appears but never stays that way. Everytime I reboot or log-in I have to reset the Window Blinds icon to appear in the taskbar. I am using Windows Pro 64 bit and this problem is the same on all four of my computers.

Just curious as it seems like it could really open up the door to some creative, and actual usable, options. You sho

Reply to Start8–Nice to be noticed! in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Myself, I don't mind the new start menu in Windows 8. I use the new start page like a big old start menu and I have all my program icons there. Using the Windows Key I can close or open the start menu anytime I want, a much better way to access your programs than the old start menu. I work in the desktop mode most all the time but if I need to access the control panal or other system items I have shortcuts setup for them so I do not have to do a search and click to get to th

Being that I am poor I only have three monitors. 1 24" ASUS VW246H, 1 Sceptre 24" and both have 1920 x 1080 resolutions, and 1 19" Samsung SyncMaster912N with 1280 x 1024 resolution.
