I just "up" graded to Windows 10 64-bit version 1607 and Window blinds does not change any application's window title bar, scroll bars--nothing.  The WB icon does not appear in the system tray (show hidden icons).  When I select WB10 from the All Applications option (I also have Start 10) the app will run, I can select different styles, change options as if the app were fully functional, but it does nothing to any windows or dialog boxes.

I also have an occasional issue that I t...

After the Windows 10 anniversary update certain programs like Outlook and Microsoft word office 360 lost the ability to change the page color from white to an  other color as default. This never happened before. I then installed window blinds 10 edited a pre-set skin and applied it to the desktop, nothing happened. There was no change to either my applications or the Windows OS shell. It is as if Windows system colors are locked and not allowing any attempt by whatever means to change them....

Also part of the first tier is Opus File Manager and Breevy (a utility that allows you to create abbreviations that automatically render as full text).

In the next tier, there's DisplayFusion (multiple monitors utility), a one year subscription to some password-remembering thing and a one year subscription to Cyber...

New HP machine, Win 10 64bit, UEFI "BIOS"

I have screens set to shut off at 10 minutes, HDDs set to shut off at 20 minutes, computer sleeps at 30 minutes. The rest of the power plan is/was the default Win 10 plan.

None of my USB ports stay powered when the machine 'sleeps' including the port on the top with the lightning bolt symbol, which I thought was specifically designed to not shut down.

Here's what I've tried, in approximately the order tried:

Flash has two 'Zero Day' vulnerabilities which have been used to compromise the security of W10.

"...a group called STRONTIUM performed a spear-phishing attack, but before we go any further, users on the Windows 10 Anniversary Update using the Edge browser should already be protected from it. It used two zero-day vulnerabilities in Flash and the Windows kernel to do the following:

So I upgraded to the new fences. And I liked the idea of having the roll-ups along the edge of my main screen, and just moving the mouse over them when I need to access the apps / date / folders. But when I do this, they unroll underneath the existing windows. What use is that? Is there an 'always on top' setting that I'm missing?

I'm not running any other customising software, just plain Windows 10.

I purchased Fences 2.0 just a few months ago and it worked fine. After the Win 10 anniversary updates it stopped working with a message Explorer had to be closed and it just shut down.

I decided to update to Fences 3.0 and was given an upgrade offer for the Object Desktop Manager, so I took it. Still the same problem. Fences will NOT run. I get the same message that Explorer must be shut down and Fences closes as well. This takes a minute or more.

I tried running the Desktop Manager to lau...

Hi

I would like to suggest a couple of features that I find very useful in KDE4.  These would be great in Fences too:

1) Provide an option for file name filtering.  E.g.:  The user can specify "*.pdf" as a filter to make the folder portal show only PDF files.

2) Provide an option for selecting individual title bar icons for the folder portals (perhaps also for other fences).
