Window Blinds and Office 2007

Has anyone had this problem with Office 2007. I've noticed that on my machine at least that the 'minimize', 'maximize/restore', and 'close' buttons do not work on office applications when skinned by Windowblinds. It also makes the office button in the top left black and white instead of color.

On top of this, if I tell WB not to skin office applications, they do not have a title bar at all!! (it is just blank).

Any help on this would be much appreciated. If it helps I am running the newest version available.

Please post your WB system information.  That may assist in fixing the problem.

No, never! And that's on both XP and Vista with the latest versions of Windowblinds running MS Office 2007 Professional Plus.

Sorry you're going through this Sirmeili.

Good luck and hope you can get this issue resolved.

Reinstall of WB fixed the problem for most skins. Some still do it, but I am not sure what version of WB those skins were written for.
