First, I am not sure how well the transform pack and WindowBlinds will play together,
Second, you don't enable trans borders, the skins are either made with it or not. Look for and download skins that have trans borders.

On window blinds, click on 'VIEW MY SYSTEM INFORMATION' and down the bottom you should see a checksquare that says 'Never use per pixel borders on a skin" make sure this is unchecked, to enable per pixel frames (transparent frames)

hope this helps!

I'm too misguided.


No kitty, could be in playing with WB that nece228 may have checked it and now has no per pixel frames. It should be unchecked by default but any helpful info is good info.

Oh, I took the liberty of fixing up your quotes

I use this one: AeroGlass.

If you're having trouble, I suggest opening the windowblinds config, click on View my system information, copy everything there, and paste it here.

Where did you get WindowBlinds from, it has a mix of dates, some from latest version which for XP is WindowBlinds 5 (5.51 (build 97 x86)).

This one I can't even find in the WindowBlinds history in Stardock central but would fall somewhere around 5.0.

With the transform pack?

click on View my system information, copy everything there, and paste it here.


Looks like you have not copied everything, there should be a line like this

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

Sounds like you have the trial version not enhanced/registered as your thread implied
i have installed window blinds 5.51 and registered it.


If the trial trans borders only work with included skins that have them, downloaded skins will not have trans even if in skin. It is one of the limitations of the trial version.

the dates do show a mix of both, if you have purchased version and had trial first, did you uninstall the trial before installing enhanced version, this is a must do.
