Thanks guys. I changed the color on the Ice skin to black and it worked, but for some strange reason the Eva skin also changed to black. I didn't even change that one. The Captain skin has a subskin for Win 8. I didn't see that.

Most likely because they are both named the same and Eva picked up on the one you changed. Jump_list_top.png. May have to change the name of one of them. Ex: jump_list_top1.png. Unless if the color you changed one works fine leave the other alone if it works for you.

Quoting RedneckDude,

Can we assume you're working on the start button mouseovers not working?

Can you describe the nature of the problem in more detail?  I am not familiar with it.

 

It is in the WB 10 beta support thread, as well as others.

 

The start button has no mouseover effect. Since the beginning of WB10 beta. Funny thing is, the mouseover effect works fine on the secondary screen, but that is when I use DisplayFusion.

 

Dunno if it's a Start10 issue, or WB10. But it's documented in the forums.

Jim did you just try it on one monitor and not have a second hooked up at all? I have no problems and others I know also have none. Don't use DisplayFusion either. Even Tim, 2of3 said it was fixed on reply 46 here. May be a two monitor thing and hope they fix it for you.

Disable your antivirus during the install and try again.  New software often has false positives in moder A/V.

I just noticed that 'Quick Access' buttons in W10-Windows Paint do not work when they are in the header but, they do work if you move the Quick Access toolbar below the Ribbon.

I don't seem to have a download button for WindowBlinds 10.0.04 on my download page. Is this because I have the upgrade? I do have the button for Start10 1.10.

Quoting LightStar,






Quoting gmc2,



paint shop pro 7 only skins the UIS2 frames and frame buttons. Any chance of getting all of the rest of the graphics to skin?



 

Wow, now that is a very old PaintShop Pro! You should really upgrade.

Your problem sounds a bit weird though as PaintShop Pro does not skin anything, it only uses the UIS2 frames for windows within the program. You say it only skins the frames and buttons, but UIS2 frames only have the frames and buttons, nothing else.



Actually that's not true. Things that used to skin with WB7 and WB10 does not are things such as pull down menus - mouseover for pull down menus - spinners - track bars - standard buttons - tab backgrounds - group boxes - and any other graphics associated with an older program. As PSP7 is my primary in use program it quite unnerving to see windows default non-graphics while using. 

I went back to a restore point, which has created some other issues. Hopefully something can be worked out with Stardock to update WB10 for older programs (circa 2000 - eeks) or provide me with usable WB7/SKS7 programs as the restore didn't go as desired.

PaintShop Pro 7 is not a theme aware app and this can be seen by switching back to the OS default skin.

Support for skinning applications that pre date Windows XP (when theme support was introduced) was removed a long time ago in WB.  Certainly WB8 did not skin them and I thought it was removed in WB7 too but perhaps not.

I am afraid this is will not be changed as those applications are so rare now that the cost of including support exceeds the benefit by a significant amount.  Removing that improved the product for all the other modern apps.
