Masterskin Naked Noir For Vista Not Working [Resolved]

from WinCustomize Forums

I recently purchased Naked Noir, by vStyler.  When i installed and loaded the theme, it did look correct.  As you can see from below.

 

 

 

Here is my system info:

 

Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 3.1
Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 3.1

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.4 (build 129 x86 - Vista Edition)

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
(Generic PnP Monitor) 1 is attached to ATI Radeon Xpress Series

Wbload.dll              2008/04/28 11:34:28
Screen.exe         2008/07/15 10:31:09

 

I tryed going to vStyler's website www.maxstyles.com for support,  however for some reason none of my email adresses were accepted when signing up for the forums.

 

 

 

 

Please Help

Hi Kyle,

 

I believe that is Naked, not Naked Noir? 

 

3.1 is a pretty low experience score, does your PC support other translucent skins? EG: Diamond?

 

If you are new to Vista you need to run the Vista experience score on the Vista OS via the Welcome Center to activate translucency correctly using WB.

 

Your font in the taskbar is also much bigger than the assigned font for the WB. do you have DPI settings set differently to default?

 

Thats all I can think of, it isn't the theme, it has been extensively tested on many Vista boxes and no other issues from other Vista users that have purchased.

 

As far as Maxstyles rejecting a sign up email.. I will have that looked into.

If it helps, Aero and translucent skins are supported with a Widows experience score of 2 and above.

Hell, mine has a score of 3 and a graphics of 3.3 and I run everything fine, so I don't think a 3.1 will hurt.  Must be something else.

Thank you all for your quick replies.

 

I finally got it working, it seems that windows was "adjusted for best performance" and not "best appearance".

 

I went to control panel > adjust visual effects> clicked on best appearance.

 

Thanks again :grin:

'Hell', I suggested something else... lets give the guy a chance to respond please.

 

Edit, good to hear.... perhaps you could edit the post title to say (resolved)

 

Cheers :)
