10.6 is doing funny things to my skins. The task bars are too tall. Images that should be transparent are showing the desktop in the transparent area instead of the object behind it. Start Menu items are all over the place like I had before, even with AV disabled.

1) Taskbar from 6502 skin. The "Rebar Gripper" is showing the desktop instead of the taskbar background.



2) Text items in wrong positions. Incorrect search icon in search text box. Missing restart buttons.

I've been using WindowBlinds for several years.  I can't help but notice the greatly increased number of new WB downloads that cost money.  There were always a few, but now the ones that cost seem to outnumber the ones available for free.  Nickel and diming customers is a very effective way to lose customers.

Well, it's free and is made to be a high level program for PCs running Windows 7, 8 and 10 (x32 and x64):

RansomFree needs to be installed on the target machine. The protection that it adds to the system is interesting, as it creates a number of files on the system that it monitors for changes.

These files use characters that place them at the top of the directory structure. The idea is that ransomware will parse for files using the same structure so that the created fil...

I have a problem with distorted graphics Fences and icons, where some are visible and some aren't within the same Fence.  This happens constantly if Fences 3.03 is used with Deskscapes (paused or in motion) after opening a fence and mousing over some icons.  Refreshing fixes briefly until I open a fence and mouse over any icons, which causes the problem to return.  It really makes it difficult to use both products together, which is odd considering they are sold together in th...

I have the installer package for WB 10.4.5 but not the one for 10.6. Tried to dl it from the site but...my sub for ODNT has expired. When I installed WB 10.4.5 after a clean install of the Creators Update, everything worked fine until about 30 minutes ago. Now I get an error message saying that there is a dll mismatch and WB is not installed correctly. This after it updated to version 10.6. I'd like to reinstall version 10.6 rather than the older version thus avoiding another mismatch. Can I...

Now that Microsoft is nearing the final release of the Creators Update (RS2), where do we stand with a Fences update? The crashing bug seems to be gone from earlier builds, but Folder Portals still do not work correctly:

- The folder view always defaults to Medium Icons and they are all squished together. There's no padding/spacing between them.

- Switching to a list or detail view works, but this setting doesn't persist after reboot. It goes back to the broken Medium Icons view.&n...

I'm having the same issues as the-reaper-man with my all weather Gadgets. It's showing the current forecast and it's accurate in that regard, but my long term forecast for the past few days are showing "N/A". I'm not sure what's causing it but all of my weather gadgets are affected.

I've got ObjectDock, CursorFX, WindowsBlinds, blah blah blah installed so I can't tell what's up to date. I've been an off and on (mostly on) subscriber since '02. Deskscapes 8.8.51 bugs out when I choose about half of the included backrounds. The rest just gives me a black desktop. Is this the latest? I can't tell.

Need the ability to disable creating fences from both right and left, left mouse button, right mouse button.. just provide an option to disable fence creation. 

Fences, wants to create new Fences even when I'm done creating the Fences I wanted. Why should I, and other customers, be constantly spammed with a Fences dialog "Create Fence here," or "Create Folder Portal here" wanting to create a new Fence and the transparent selection window?
