Problem with an application skinning

from WinCustomize Forums
I'm using the latest version of WB (5.01 build 62). I use a program called AdminScriptEditor that is built from .NET 2.0. Everytime I apply a skin the toolbar and scrollbars turn black in this application. I've tweaked the per application settings and it doesn't seem to work (although I really don't know what each setting is for). The only setting that seems to work is "Ignore this application and do not skin it". I use this program a lot and would like to see the skins applied to it. Is there a way to skin this application successfuly?

Some programs just do not work with WB.  I have had a few and the only solution is to ignore the application.  I would also send an e-mail off to the company letting them know of the problem.

I'm having a similar problem. I've been using window blinds with now trouble until i just upgraded my MS Outlook with the "MS Business Contact Manager" Outlook still skins normally but when i actvate any of the forms/screens in the BC Manager the backgrounds of the forms are all black.
I can ignore all of Outlook (bummer) but even worse is that ignored applications revert to a basic windows skin and not to the default XP Luna skin (which might be tollerable).
I'm not a skin programmer but it looks like this app is using a different way of displaying the form backgrounds. Like they are some sort of java form vs. the usual VB form. Sorry, I know i'm babbling in areas I don't understand.

If anyone has a better solution than ignoring the application.... I sure would appreciate some help.

Try various exclusions/combinations.
Some times just having only the title bar works. some times one skin works well and another won't
