Bug Report: WB6 fails to repaint folder pane in WMP 9

from Stardock Forums
Whenever I change a skin using Window Blinds 6.0 and happen to have Windows Media Player 9 running, WB 6 fails to repaint the folders panel in the Media Library. I am forced to restart the media player to get the contents of the folder to display again.

If you enable the 'Never use per pixel borders on a skin' option from within the System Info section, does that have any effect?

As it turns out, it's not when I switch skins when WB6 fails to repaint the WMP9 media library folders pane... its when I change font sizes using the slider or change any one or more individual font sizes. And no, the per-pixel work around did not fix the problem.

After some more fiddling, I disovered that it isn't just when I change fonts that the media library folder pane fails to properly repaint itself. Any time I use the "Apply Changes" button in the upper right corner of the config window, whether I make any changes or not, it also fails to repaint properly. However, switching between skins using the associated "Apply My Changes" button does properly paint the pane. Closing WMP and rerunning it will result in a proper repaint. I tried disabling everything short of the the whole skin, but it continued this behavior. Disabling the skin entirely does allow a proper repaint.

Will this bug warrant a Stardock fix, or will this it be added to the list of incompatible apps and let it slide?

Because they don't allow you to back up your licenses. Besides, I think 10 and 11 are ugly.

I have upgraded to WMP 10. It behaves the same way under WB6 as WMP 9. i.e. it fails to properly repaint the folder window when you press the apply changes button.
