Dreamweaver CS4 active buttons corrupt

They're all black

from Stardock Forums

Hi,

I've just bought Object Desktop and am having a problem with Windowblinds. I'm not sure whether it's a bug or a theme problem so I thought I would ask on the forum first off.

The problem I have is with Dreamweaver CS4, which displays and button that is selected with a negative effect (ie; mostly black) Take a look at the two images for comparison.

Corrupt Buttons

The problem occurs on the builtin themes corporate and diamond as well as a couple of MacOS Tiger schemes that I downloaded. If I use the default Windows XP style (yes, I'm running XP with SP3) the problem does not occur.

The problem does not occur with any of the above styles in Photoshop CS4.

I hope you can help sort this for me.

Regards,

Paul

Hello drpr,

 

Adobe uses built-in controls for almost everything on CS4 apps and maybe there's a a feature in a "x" sju/visual style

that could cause that incompatibility. One thing that you can do for now is scuding Dreamweaver from skinning, you

can do this in two ways:

 

1 - Hold down the Control key when launching Dreamwaver

 

2 -  adding a exclusing rule on WindowBlinds settings, to do so:

* open WindowBlinds

* click the "Settings" button in the top bar

* choose the "Per application tab

* click the add button on bottom and point to the Deramweaver .exe file

* in the window that open, mark the option "Ignore this application and do not skin it"

* click Ok and then "Apply changes" in the top bar.

I have excluded Dreamweaver as you suggest and that has fixed the problem. Dreamweaver uses it's own skin anyway so I am not losing out on anything.

Thanks a lot for the quick response.
