I get black bits, or at least I have in the past, and that was when the software was telling me I had the latest version installed but didn't (please see my previous post). It seemed to occur when you can tell Windows needs a full reboot (I hibernate my machine between sessions) and other things start to fall apart e.g. Explorer using too many resources etc., not just the visuals; you know what I mean?

I've just loaded Corporate and it's fine for me, for now. Saying that though, I have fixed my problem with WB (at least up to the last beta, I can only assume for the stable release that I also installed when prompted the other day) and I know that my video-card drivers are correctly installed. I mention this too because I also suspected that of being another possible reason for problems.

1. For WB- my solution was to unload WB before installing manually from the installer again (v10.74). Right click on the WB icon in the notification area and click Unload Windowblinds.
2. Before you reboot, make sure you have the latest nvidia drivers installed with GeForce Experience. It takes a while to install but if you don't get a confirmation message at the end that everything installed correctly there's a chance that something went wrong and so you'll need to try again. Persevere until it goes through fine. It may take a few attempts unfortunately.

If neither of these things work then it would probably mean something else is interfering in which case you will have to go through the cleanboot procedure.

I did that, I uninstalled and installed 3 times, the third time worked. The 'Purge'did not work, I tried it.

I think the uninstall did not clean everything the first two times.

Nice comedy the IT-Crowed

The question is why the WB icon was not in the taskbar.

I have sent you an email about my application VisitsRota which is not rendering correctly for RTL mode.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues, but you should try this. Firefox's 3 bar menu -> Customize -> (Bottom left) Tick check box "Title bar" No need to exclude FF from Windowblinds.

Basj,

Stardock Community Assistant.

'Right to left' I believe....

Please look Screen shots.

The issue is the toolbar. It renders the icons over on the left, but it still thinks under the hood that they are over on the right. You have to move the mouse to the right to get the actual operations.

And for the "Dynamic" skin it is even worse. If I use no skin and let the system manage the application then it is fine.

PS. I missed the previous replies. RTL is right-to-left. And the title bar does not work.

PPS. The resize icon is drawing the wrong way round.

It is worth also noting that this application starts as a "CMFCPropertySheet" and not a "CDialog".

There is  a compatibility issue between Windowblinds and my program Fortissimo Mp3 player.

Fortissimo has an always on top option. If stay on top is selected Fortissimo gets interrupted by Windowblinds when a new song is loaded "When And If" any of it's windows are on top of the windowblinds skinned windows task bar.

I have selected the option in Windowblinds to ignore Fortissimo but Windowblinds still try’s to hook fortissimo and stall it for awhile.

Please note Fortissimo skins itself.

When the interference occurs Fortissimo wants to jump out it's own window due to the stall. When I Unload Windowblinds my program is back as it should be.

Never noticed this before the last couple of Windowblinds updates.

My system is Windows 10 64 bit with all of the latest updates,
8 g's of ram,
Core I5 processor.


Windows 10 Home (17763.rs5_release.180914-1434)
WindowBlinds 10.74 (054 - Windows 10 Edition) - 64 bit OS

Window titlebar blur features are enabled on this operating system

I tried to exclude a few windowblinds dlls within my program skinning framework but that did not resolve the issue.

Just wanted to add that if Fortissimo is run as Administrator the problem with windowblinds goes away.

Also I have yet to hear anything from Stardock regarding this issue. as of 12/19/2018

Fortissimo can be downloaded from www.goodnotesoftware.com

Not at this time - you may want to consider excluding the app for the time being.
