first problem found was with chrome Version 51.0.2704.84 m (64-bit) , if skinned by windowblinds it simply crashed the explorer when launched.
Did not happen all of the time - keeping it from beeing skinned by the application list helped

Glaswire - if skinned by wb the top windowboarder is missing completely
 
A recently released Game Overwatch by Blizzard will crash when using windowblinds and switching from windowed to full screen or vice versa

Windowblinds not skinning properly-My recent experiences and findings

Hi guys. I've been both fascinated and frustrated during the tenure of my WB experience. I gave up on WB for years, but now I think It's working, mostly. Here are some things I've figured out in my trial and error endeavor...

 

* WB does not work well with modern windows themes...It works best for me when I am in high contrast mode. There is much more control over the color settings in high contrast theme mode, and it makes it a bit easier for WB to do the skinning...In hi...

Roll-up fence not working on double click

0
0
Enabled RollUp does not seem to work as described in Fences 3.0 even though enabled in the settings.

I suspected this has to do with a popular file manager called Directory Opus which has an option to double-click on the desktop to open the current (new) lister/window.

 

Double-clicking the title bar does just that rather than roll-up the fence.

 

Are these going to be mutually exclusive features (clash) ? 

 

Roll-up does seem to work through the VIEW men...

Petition for EFF to investigate Microsoft for malicious practices regarding Windows 10

There is a petition you can sign to see if this matter can be brought to the attention of the EFF. It's only about 4 days old but it's slowly gaining momentum and, at the time I am writing this, already counts with over 4,000 signatures.

Personally I'm amazed MS hasn't been hit by a class action suite yet. If you dislike MS latest practices (this has nothing to do with liking the OS itself or not) as much as me, go ahead and add your signature to the petition.

Lately, more like several months, I've been using Win 10. Despite the fact that I had, past tense, Win 8.1 on my laptop. I no longer do. I have been doing everything on Win 10 now and completely forgot about 8.1 so...I 86'd it. Gained almost 400 gb in the process too. All the proggies I used on Win 8.1 I have on 10 plus I have multiple backups, all external. I guess you could say I succumbed to the inevitable...kinda sorta. Lol

Is there a way to turn off folder portal navigation? My subfolders have way to many icons for the size of the main folder window and nothing looks right.  I'd like to be able to just open the folder the normal windows way but I cant find any setting to disable the new navigation

Win7 skin for Win10

0
0
Hello, I have recently upgraded from Win7 to Win10. I prefer the look of Windows 7 rather than 10. Is there a skin available that makes Win10 look the same or almost the same as Win7, so that is with windows and task bar? I have had bit of a look around and so far I have not found one and there is a lot to look through. If there is it would be appreciated if you could provide a link to it, if you know of one.




Thanks

curious about rating specifics

0

I'm curious how the rating system actually works. What appears to be the case with the initial rating given is 10 stars for master (for sale) skins and 6 stars for all others. One has to have the minimum of apprentice rating in order to rate skins. That's about all I really know.

I've heard that "master skinners" ratings are given more weight than other people. What does actually mean and what is the weight given?

Why can't the authors rate their own skins?

When Bruce Wayne is viewing the computer files that he stole from Lex Luthor, there is an interesting cursor that he is maneuvering on the computer screen. Has anyone seen that cursor before, or do you think it was created for the movie?

Fences 3.0 gets 5 Star Review from gHacks.

Martin Brinkmann, the owner of gHacks is a very skilled and responsible reviewer.

He reviewed Fences 3.0 on 5/20. Therese were his conclusions:

“There are two types of computer users out there when it comes to the desktop of the PC: those who keep it in pristine condition and don't put any files or shortcuts on it, and those who use it as the main location for downloads, shortcuts, files and folders.

You have probably seen desktops in the past that overflow with i...

Why We Need Daylight Saving In The Winter Months

0

As everyone knows, unless they've been under a rock hibernating each year, Winter's days are shorter than Summer's, and that's why I propose we have daylight Saving in Winter.... to give us longer days.

It makes sense!  And here's why.

As a young bloke I worked in a cabinet maker's factory, which was okay, but in Winter I'd go to work in the dark and go home in the dark.  I didn't see daylight all week long, and being sunlight is our best source of...

Updating old WB skins

0
0
There aren't many new free WB skins these days.  I have around six old skins I made for XP.  Most were rated six stars, so I feel like I at least have a decent foundation to build on.  How do I go about updating them to get the Windows 7, 8, and 10 ready badge for my skins?

Please keep in mind, I am an old fart 10 years out of practice on making skins.

Thanks in advance for any help, you can offer.
