Troubleshooting help- Skin won't load in certain places

from Stardock Forums
The problem:

Description:

Basically the skin will only load in some places, while mostly leaving the browser/explorer windows alone, and then some windows (in the case of firefox) in between. I've been browsing through the FAQ and forums and wasn't able to find a solution to this. I run the latest, registered/baught version on a Windows Vista. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Your running an XP skin in Vista.

Aaah, that makes sense. But the problem is: I've had the same problem with every skin thus far, three. That one and another one (fett) both came default with the latest windowblind programs and another one I downloaded. Then can you advise me to where I can get vista-specific skins?

There really aren't any, Post your System info from WBconfig here and maybe someone can elaboarte further, I'm assuming yo have rebooted, uninstalled, reinstalled WB?

Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on system information.  Copy/paste that info here.

Standalone.

And thank you for the link!

Again, I'm very sorry for the hassle and very sorry for having such an obvious problem. I just switched over from a mac and thought the screenshots were for Vista as opposed to XP.
