Min/Max/Close dont change after skin apply

from Stardock Forums

Hello, so, I have the problem, that after an applying of a new WB skin, the Min/Max/close buttons and the border of the windows never change.

I have Win 7 32 bit and I checked the Skins for Win7 compatibility, so I dont think it's because I picked some wrong skins. ( I have tried about 30 skins already, always the same problem...)

Once I got the min/max/close and the windows-border working, but then my animated dream from WindowsBlinds wasnt animated. When I tried to reapply the dream, it told me that my DWM wouldnt be working. After I restarted my computer, the min/max/close buttons were Win7 standard again.

So I assume that the problem with the min/max/close buttons and the border has something to do with the DWM...

I hope you know how to fix that problem...

Make sure you don't have the Use Aero Window Frames box checked in the WB settings (advanced settings)

Ooooh, i'm so stupid...

Thank you very much, this solved my problem :)

I was looking deeply in my windows settings instead of just checking the WB options.

Thank you again.
