Per pixel borders don't work on some lower end graphics cards. If you are using the trial version that will only apply per pixel skins supplied with the trial.

Posting your WindowBlinds system information would help.

In your images you show one of the web browser (IE) and the other of the Start Menu and Taskbar, both are the way they should look.

Windowblinds does not have a special skin for the Google Bar in IE and it looks just like the one you've got there. Same with the normal address bar and menu, it looks to me the way it's supposed to be skinned.

I couldn't tell from the pic if the IE title bar is skinned right or not but it looks like it might be. Without some idea of what background is behind it I can't tell if the transparency is working either.

Thanks for the help, but i think the menu bar is not skinned right, because in some other windows (like in the task manager) the bar with file, etc is skinned, look

But in explorer folders that same bar is not skinned at all, look

And the 2 scroll bars, one is skinned the other not.

The transparency is working perfectly, other things i have to say, i'm using the shareware version at the moment, and the skin that come with it (called Noir), that's my sys info:

The non skinned scrollbar is because you are using the trial.  For various reasons the trial does skin the left scrollbar in explorer.

The menubar in explorer is a toolbar not a menubar and is skinned as such.  If you look closely you will notice the menubar in taskmanager is a very different thing to the menubar in explorer.
