All skins apply windows classic theme

from WinCustomize Forums
Every theme i try to apply ends up applying the windows classic theme.

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.51 (build 97 x86)) - Shareware

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC

Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

This is because :

Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha. WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor. Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware. Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature. Onboard graphics tend not to.

It appears you have enabled limited per pixel mode, so WindowBlinds will support per pixel, but with no hardware support.

(Plug and Play Monitor) 1 is attached to VIA/S3G UniChrome Pro IGP

I'm not sure but it might be the per pixel problem?

The "shareware" version has a time limit. After this time period you will only be able to use the XP OS skins. If you wish to continue with being able to use the great skins and the WindowBlinds program, you will need to purchase it.

Any other version of the shareware previously installed - started the count
reinstalling or getting a newer version doesn't help

I just renewed my OD subscription, and when you apply a WB, it does change to Windows Classic, but, I still have the "see thru", or whatever you call it. If you want the stuff to work. Buy it.
