I'm trying to get to the bottom of an issue that seems to be affecting all the supplied themes except the default Windows 8 theme (I'm using the current version of WindowBlinds on Windows 8.0 Pro).

Here’s an example of what I mean:

If I open up a common desktop app (e.g. Photoshop CC 2014) and press Ctrl+O to bring up the ‘Open’ file browser window, the window will open top left of screen just under the title bar. If I then move the window to the middle of the scr...

15 year MS veteran, here.

The problems here are mostly structural, in the sense that the problems come from the structure of teams, rather than the quality of individual people. Most of the developers at MS are actually quite good; many are top-notch. So why is so much of the product shit? It's because the goals are not set by the engineers. The final decisions are not made by engineers.

The rest is here. Really worth reading, also discussion below linked comment.

So on the machine I use everyday I have an issue. I use Chrome. When in Chrome, I get constant redirects and popups. 

I have tried the following with these results:

AVG full scan - clean
MSE full scan - clean
Malewarebytes - clean
Superantispyware - clean
Spybot - clean
ADWcleaner - clean
Hitman PRO - clean

The popups and browser hijacks have to be some sort of virus. But all of these say the machine is clean???

I have installed WindowsBlind today and all the themes included in the program seemed to be awesome. So I tried to apply them one by one but except the default theme by Microsoft, all the themes were changing my system font from Malgun (malgun.ttf for Korean Windows 7 and after) into the font which I did not like. Having this problem I tried to get the font back to which I was accustomized, but in the end only the default theme gave me the font I wanted while the others failed. Later, I found ou...

Hi all.  Happy New Year.  I am really struggling with changing things in SkinStudio without a proper manual for version 8.  So, I am probably going to be asking a lot of questions.  How do I change the size of the desktop icons and their associated text?

 

Thank you.

So, my laptop boots relatively quickly -- the desktop appears after about eight seconds, and I can immediately click icons to open programs or browsers.  However, the ObjectDock doesn't appear for another 12 seconds.  So, if I want to use Objectdock instead of desktop icons, right now I basically more than double my boot time.  Is there a setting I'm missing to make the dock load immediately with the desktop?

We talk about movies and TV, so why not have a discussion about the books we read!  Let us know what's the last book you read, and feel free to recommend it or expand on what it's about.

I mostly read through my Kindle and get most of my eBooks through Amazon.

The book I recently finished was Inside the Real Area 51: The Secret History of Wright Patterson.

We have two new Master WindowBlinds skins to hit the galleries today!

First up we have Xenix by LightStar which has a really cool start menu design that extends to the entire skin itself.  Designed for Windows 7 and 8, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I have.

I really like the idea of having the desktop pages, but it would be helpful if I could name each one and have the name shown when I switch pages, either constantly or briefly.   I'm thinking of having a number of pages, maybe 6 or more, and it would be easier to see a name then try to figure out which page I'm on by just the icons.   I would also be nice, if possible to loop the pages together so if I'm on the far right page and I scroll to the right I would go to...

Does anyone know why my systray icon for Windowblinds looks like this on a 10 inch Windows 8.1 tablet?

 

At first I thought it something to do with being a trial version of WB, but I uninstalled that, and installed a full version, still the funky icon.

 Amitsaran and his lovely wife Sukriti have a new addition to their budding family...a son!Welcome Vivan!This is a picture of the happy new parents and Mr. Vivan.   Now you know why Amit's dreams were (and will be for a bit) slow in coming, but he'll have to teach the young man about customizing as soon as he can focus his eyes...Amit as well.  So let's wish the new, happy parents well! Much good luck, health, wealth, and joy, my friend!
