Media player classic has Problems with Windowsblinds in full screen

from Stardock Forums
I used windowsblinds for years already and i just always have notice how Media player classic sometimes has problems when Windows blinds is on, Sometimes Ill be playing a video will Full screen and the video will be all black and when i get out of full screen the video will show. Or it will be the other way around where the video will not show in normal view and show in full screen. I know its windows blind because when i shut it off Media player works perfectly.

I seen some ppl post in the pass but usually everyone doesn't post back. Ill post pictures of the problem when i get a chance

Disable any overlay functions in WMP classic.

A very long time ago there was some Microsoft sample code for setting up overlays which had a bug in it.  This bug can cause overlays to pick the wrong colour for colour key overlays and results in no visible picture.

WindowBlinds tries to detect when an app has suffered from this and corrects it but we cannot always detect such things.

This will only happen when there is something per pixel on screen.  It can be reproduced with and without WindowBlinds running on the pc, but obviously with a per pixel WB skin there is a greater chance of per pixel being on screen.
