Excluding Programs Issue [Win XP]

from Stardock Forums

I've been trying to get Window Blinds to exclude certain programs, like microsoft word and Live Messenger

mostly because it makes the backgrounds and text change color which is annoying when trying to write an essay or see what my mates are saying if their font color is the same as the background!

Ive got the full version, paid and everything, but it still seems that it wont exclude the programs i tell it to in settings > Change look of an app > Add per application setting > Ignore this application completely..

any ideas?

 

thanks

The key is identifying the .exe file for the program you want to exclude. If you are doing that and it's not working then you may need to email [email protected]. :)

That looks like an older version then what is currently available. Uninstall, reboot, open up SDC and get the latest version and then post the system info again.

It sounds like the problem is a system colour issue in which case excluding will not help you.  System colours are system wide and cannot be applied on a per process basis.
