## Tray Icon Menus Not Visible ##

from WinCustomize Forums

I'm running the latest release of WindowBlinds and am having problems. When I skin Windows XP the tray icon text in the right click menus isn't visible. I just get a blank popup menu. Then I switch back to the standard skin that comes with windows xp and everything is visible.

I can't use WindowBlinds on my system because of the loss in functionality. This is really disappointing and I have no idea how to correct it. I'm so upset that I can't use the program to skin my operating system, I really enjoied the software.

Please, is anyone able to guide me?

I'm using:

 

Windowblinds 6.3 (build 67x86)

 

When I discovered the error in all skins I did another instillation over the old one but it didn't correct the problem.

If it helps any the only three icons that have invisible text on their right click menus are:

1) Steganos Safe

2) Steganos Privacy Suite

3) Spell Check Anywhere V6

The other 8 icons work properly so this is confusing.
