Taskbar issue and top of windows invisible (very annoying)

from Stardock Forums

hello, first time posting here.

basically ever since i got WindowBlinds and applied a skin (any skin) my taskbar has doubled in size even though it says "small taskbar". if i choose "large taskbar" its about 4 times as big. Unloading WindowBlinds does not fix this issue and it happens with any skin, even Windows Aero. This has happened since i bought ObjectDesktop with the Impulse version number and i am now using the newest version (6.4) i was hoping 6.4 would fix this but i was sadly wrong. On top of this annoying taskbar issue, 6.4 brought me a new problem. On any skin if it is selected to use the skin for window frames (the top where minimize, maximize, and close are) it becomes invisible, impossible to tell where the said buttons are. This is temporaily resolved if i selected to use Windows Aero for the window frames. It may work but it takes away the feel and appearence of having a skin.

so 2 problems:

1. taskbar doubled in size

2. window frames invisible when skin frame option is selected.

any help to fix this will be greatly appreciated. thank you for your time.

Open WB config, System Info tab, copy and paste it here.

Did you have the trial version installed before purchased version? If so did you uninstall the trial first, for WB this is a must do.

There should be a date for this, looks like a bad install, uninstall, reboot, run something like CCleaner, reboot, reinstall WB.
