Hi everyone,
Unfortunatley, for one reason or another I always quit using WindowBlinds -- and I'm asking your help so that doesn't happen. I'm having problem because of themes that include shadows / or right-click menu transparency that I can't disable (And i need to). And, If a theme includes an ugly shellstyle, I can't use a different one because WindowBlinds uses a different system of applying them. Can I ask for help with a few things? Here's this list:
1) Is there any way to disable shadows in a theme -- when the maker doesn't include a version with "no shadows" ? Many other programs can add shadows, and I've been using them forever, and often the WB shadows just complicate things.
2) Can I disable transparent right-click menus? Because in all of Stardock's wisdom, they designed them so that you can't fade-in menus and it looks like crap when you just click and a menu is "there" with no transition. If I try and use an app like Yz shadow to add transparency or shadows I can't do it because there's no way to disable it through WindowBlinds...
3) Can I use a differt shellstyle with a theme? Alot of themes come with bland (Or even doesn't come with) a shellstyle so i'm stuck using one from Windows Classic and I hate it! With regular visual styles you can just rename the shellstyle.dll to something like shellstyle.dll.bak and I can use a different one.
- Please help me with some of these issues, because without a way to disable these settings in WindowBlinds I feel like it's "Taking over my PC" and It causes all sorts of problems. Thanks!
