Reply to Windowblinds problem? Can't see files in explorer.. in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

I'm adding this sentence after making my list from below because I observed a difference between the "good" ones and the "messed up" ones. When a blind loads, the background becomes blurry and black and white and a "loading" splash screen of some sort appears. The "bad" blinds then smoothly go to the color and regular blind. However the blinds that DO work properly do this instead; They all have a very quick blink, then a longer blink where the background bec

Yes, it is MOST of my blinds that do this, the basic stardock ones that came with it don't however. Here's my "about Windowblinds" copy: Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 5.9 Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 7.8 WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 7.1 (build 273 - Windows 7 Edition) - 64 bit OS WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC (Dell

Windowblinds problem? Can't see files in explorer.. in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

Hi all, I have Windowsblinds installed and on the VAST majority of skins, (thought not all of them) the file listing in any WINDOWED explorer windows is blurred and obscured beyond recognition. If I drag the window around the files get obscured from things behind the window, in my example image some files are visible because of a web image behind it. If I maximize the window it's fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here's a image of what it looks like:</

Same problem with me. Stops at "applying install actions" Can't cancel, must quit Stardock Central. I tried the below suggestion, did nothing. Dunno, what to do.

Those are nice, but much like the ticket prices in the NHL, it's too much cash. When you can buy Master themes for 10$ and less, why are these so expensive?

What files are in the \shareware directory off the WB directory? It sounds like something running on your PC is blocking the nag screens in CXP & WB from opening. I'll reinstall it again after I get home from work and tell you. I work afternoons, so it'll be awhile. Now that you say it, the na

Well, did a complete reinstall again...as before the first time selecting a skin it went perfectly. Blurred background clear "Please wait" window, everything was great, then the second and every time after, the THUNK sound and no changes. This is before starting ANY program besides WB. No browsers, no explorer windows, nothing. (Not counting the stuff that loads automatically like my Logitech LCD keyboard drivers) Hmmm, I think I'll go to safe mode and see if I can start it up there.

All windows are the same, notice the capture screen program title bar? And I'm thinking the taskbar NOT changing wouldn't have anything to do with using Firefox...dunno. I never use IE unless I have to. I've just uninstalled WB and am doing some registry clean up stuff, after that I'll reinstall and see if IE has anything to do with anything. ANY suggestions are appreciated. Crodley

Thanks for the bump Secret. As an update, something else odd is happening. When I go to change the theme, it blinks as if it wants to change, (though it doesn't do the clear message window in front of the blurred background thing it did the first time) then make that sound, but now it's changing HALF the theme to the new them and leaving the other alone. Here's an image showing what I mean. Notice th

I did that already, the Stardock Central program just sends me to download.com from the internal browser just like it does from the website in firefox. About the thunk, ya, that's what it seems like, but there's no other windows showing. When I started to uninstalled it those many times, it gave the same thunk, paused a for seconds then continued to uninstall. Oh well, thanks for the reply. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/wc/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 align="absmiddle"

Hi folks, I was considering buying the whole shebang for 49.94 but now I'm so sure. I downloaded and installed the v5.5 WindowBlinds shareware. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several times to no avail. Here is what happens after a fresh install and reboot: I open up the configuration window, I select a theme, and hit apply. It works, the new theme is applied fine. When I reopen the configuration window and try a different theme I get the window error sound "Th
