Problem Applying All of a Skin

from WinCustomize Forums
I just bought WB and am able to download and apply themes/skins. The problem I'm having is that I only get a color change and block style (classic style maybe) windows and taskbar. Below is a screen shot to help explain. No matter which one I choose, I get the same taskbar and windows with a different color. What am I don't wrong?

Post your WB system information here.  That should help.

Varillon, wow that info doesn't look that current. I'm showing for WindowBlinds 6.1 (build 49 x86). When did you get WB? I would update to the current release and see if that doesn't solve your problem.

I downloaded a trial from a link a friend sent me. Apparently it isn't the latest version. I'll start there.

Edit: I downloaded the version WB sent me, but the same problem exists. Here's my updated info.

uninstall all versions of WB, reboot

get a fresh download from the link sent to you when you purchased (or install

Stardock Central - register your serial in SDC - use it to download and install)

I got the trial link from a friend. While I was looking through it, I realized you have to buy the program to do most things in it, so I paid for the code. I input my email and the code which got me to enhanced version 6.0 32 x86. Once Philly said it was an older version, I went back to the website to get the latest version. When I downloaded that one, it gave me 6.02 44 x86.

Hopefully that makes more sense.

I'll remove everything and do a fresh install to see if that does the trick.

I got it working! It must have been a problem with overlapping a newer version on the older one. These themes are absolutely amazing. Thank you guys.

You can only apply Windowblinds themes with Windowblinds. That's not much of a solution.
