Screen Background Reverts to Default Black

$

I've had this problem for a couple of months now, and unfortunately can't remember exactly when or under what circumstances it started. After setting my laptop screen background to the "Cool Blue" color and going about my business, the color seems to arbitrarily and randomly suddenly revert to the default Black color. I then have to go into Settings and reset it. Sometimes, when it seems to be starting to happen (a couple icons or one of my Fences changes) I seem to be able to head it off by doi...

Time For A New Game, Huh????

Things have been a bit quiet on the WC forums of late so I'm hoping we can all get a new game rolling to help liven things up a bit... a bit of fun, if you like,  The idea is the replace the 'blanks' with one or two words to make a funny [or not] sentence.

eg: starkers got so blank last night while reading a Mills and Boon novel his blank got brewers droop.

possible reply: starkers got so drunk last night while reading a Mills and Boon novel his glasses got brewers droop.

Okay, thi...

Hanging delays (Win 7, 10)

I've noticed a couple of similar complaints of Object Dock, slow/hanging & lag. I currently am using Windows 10 but this 'hanging-lag', which comes after launching an app from Object Dock, or attempting to launch an item with Object Dock not responding, like it's writing to itself or something is just not correct.

This lagging started quite a while back with Windows 7 (64bit). I use both a tabbed dock at top of screen and a quick launch dock at screens bottom. Both remain ...

For many of us who work with computers all day, it can get a bit boring to look at the same bland desktop all day long. While Windows has made some improvements to the user interface over the years, it's still the same as everyone else's in your home or office. I like to customize things, especially items I use often, and my PC is no exception. 

You can customize your desktop as much or as little as you would like with a variety of custom themes and skins found at WinCustomize.com. I wan...

Title.

I had over 40 subscriptions, they disappeared from my list a little over a week ago.  I cannot disable email notifications for two of the 5 posts I have added to my clean slate list.

Have tried a hard refresh without results.

What small animal would you suggest I sacrifice to appease the gremlins?

An Update To Windowblinds 8

I purchased Windowblinds many moons ago.  I hadn't used it in a long while and decided recently to pull it out and install.  In the main program I clicked the ? next to the setup gear icon and selected not to receive updates weekly.

About once an hour, I am getting a pop-up telling me there is an upgrade to Windowblinds8.  Quite honestly, I have no interest in upgrading.  How do I kill this pop-up?

View Mode in Folder Portals

I have a folder portal.

The view mode I setted to "List" and ordered the collums.

 

Now, when I navigate in this folder portal, the vie mode for subfolders is "normal icons" and not "List".

Please add an option to make the view settings for the main folder of a folder portal for all subfolders in this folderportal too.

Or is it there already a way to do this? I searched the whole regestry, but there aren't keys and values for Default view mode for folder portals.

If I disable WindowBlinds, Visual Studio starts fine.
I've excluded devenv.exe - "Ignore this application and don't skin it".  After re-activating WindowsBlinds and rebooting - VS still crashes on launch.

Every few months I write something that incites a twitter mob.  There are people out there are compelled to right the smallest of wrongs by hurling days of abuse at the villain.

As the said villain, I’ve developed many different strategies for dealing with these mobs.

If you have compatibility issues with WindowBlinds and an application or game, please do let us know in this thread so we can investigate it and hopefully resolve the problem.

Please make sure you are running the latest version of WindowBlinds first and that the problem exists with a theme included with WindowBlinds vs a downloaded one. 

Please provide as much detail as you can, screenshots of the problem, information on the application itself, how to reproduce the problem and if...

Advanced setting is grayed out

Hello,

in the windowsblind advanced options there is the option "I want the styles to be able to apply textures on the back of windows explorer"

This option is unfortunately grayed out.

Is it available only if a style has provided for it?

Or is it a problem with windows 10?

Does anyone know how to activate this option?

In the end I would have liked to be able to put transparency on this background.

 

Thank you in advance for the answers.

Fences Tech Support

So, this is gonna be a bit of a weird one. Basically, my brother bought a new computer and decided instead of selling his old one off, he'd give it to me. It arrived, I installed it, booted it up and all seemed well. Thing was, Fences was looking a bit funny. They were all in the wrong places and scattered across my dual monitor setup. I figured, okay, let's delete and recreate them in the right places. Nope, the top of them is cut off beyond the top of my monitor, as well as the task bar on mon...

So Fences just broke somehow

Moved a file that was in a fence to another location outside of the fence (on another drive) and suddenly Fences along with all the items in them totally vanished, along with the fences themselves (ie blank desktop).Pulled up the Fences config panel, and when I disable Fences my files/icons all come back (obviously with no Fences around them), and enabling Fences causes them to all vanish again (no icons, no fences).Looking at the contents of my desktop show all the items that are there, so they...

Hey Guys,

 

I think Windows 10 updated overnight and now Fences lost a recent layour (that I've had for at least a month or more) and everytime I restore a snapshot from yesterday, it reverts back to the prior layout in under a second.

 

Whats going on?

 

Thanks

I installed Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition (VS17C), but it would crash on startup. This looked like a failure when VS17C tried to first open its IDE window. I discovered that when I unloaded WB that VS17C would startup just fine. Curiously, if I then restarted WB, VS17C had no further issue until the next computer boot. I tried several WB skins, but all had this issue until I first unloaded WB. I read the first pinned post about trying a Stardock released skin (Diamond, Win8, Win8 Metro), ...

I am very happy to have achieved this "small" goal, I know it is irrelevant and maybe not change anything in my life, but it is nice to see how people like my skins arts. Who knows, I may in the future perfect myself and make skins more complex for other apps. Thank you very much to all of you for always being cordial when I needed to. Hello from Brazil!
