Hello, this is my first post here. I just got Windowblinds. The transparency of Windows (not the taskbar, not the start menu) does not change when I adjust and apply the transparency setting. It stays completely opaque. I am using the Aero Metals theme, but have noticed the same problem with other skins.

Any ideas?

This is what it looks like before I apply a skin, and this is after.

Windows Blinds (version 8.0) is not skinning that whole section for some reason, and it doesn't matter what skin I use, they all do the same.

Even the buttons to minimize, expand, and close (when they actually show) don't get skinned either.

Any ideas?

Heyas,

3) Window is now not draggable and the window control buttons in the top left are all unresponsive.

I often need to create a screen shot of a window when creating documentation and I normally do this by giving the desired window the focus then pressing Alt+PrintScreen to put its image on the clipboard, or I use an application especially written for this purpose such as FastStone Capture.

Hey guys, I made some pages with fences and I have two problems.

Firstly, when right clicking a folder and adding to desktop, twice I had it not show up. Later, when making pages, I drag the page to the right, and I can see two identical sets of icons with no fences, yet they move across the screen with the other fence portals.

Secondly, when I drag the pages to the right, they snap back to the left when I let go of the mouse.

Dear StarDock,

I've installed DeskScapes on Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit and it works great.

But I'm also starting to use Dexpot for multiple virtual desktops (NOT multiple monitors). Dexpot can have a separate wallpaper on each virtual desktop, which then leads to the obvious thought of having multiple Deskscapes running <g>.

Is this possible at the moment? Is this something which might be possible in the future... please?

I have a question with regards to taskbar transparency. I'm using the Diamond style, and the system color is set to None. Is there a way where I can control the transparency of the taskbar to avoid this:

The taskbar appears over the firefox add-on bar

What I want to do is make the taskbar be as transparent as it did it like in windows 7.

I have recently began using this application (Window Blinds). It has worked out standing until now. i am not sure why this sudden change has occured. I get an error wbconfig and it will stop skinning my taskbar. I can unload window blinds and reload it and it works fine as long as I do not shutdown or restart. After restart is when this error occurs and the skinning of my taskbar stops. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
