WindowBlinds 7, Taskbar becomes larger after Shutdown/Restart issue.

from Stardock Forums

Ok, so this has been happening probably since the last update, it's been awhile. This has been keeping me from using custom skins. When I restart, or login to my computer, my Taskbar becomes larger. And it wont let me size it down (Yes, it's unlocked), but I can size it up. In order for me to get my skin back to the regular size, I have to switch to the default skin, and then back.

Here is a picture of what it looks like when I login: http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/8195/windowblinds7error.png

Here is what it should look like: http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/5765/windowblinds7correct.png

Thanks for the help.

Could you give us the info from your "About Windowblinds" tab?

Also, a screen shot of your taskbar properties window?

Finally, open Impulse and while pressing shift right click and choose "Verify Installation".

Sorry for the late responce, 

My OS is Win 7, 64bit. And the issue happens with EVERY blind but the default. 

Here is both the Taskbar properties and the About Windowsblind tab: http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3456/wb7w.png

The installation was verified, and it says it was installed correctly.

The appearance of the task in the images you supplied does not appear to be a windows 7 taskbar as the show desktop button is not there by the clock .

Are You sure the skins you are using a made to work with windows 7?

The skin is tronnix by MikeB314: https://www.wincustomize.com/explore/windowblinds/5087/

This is an xp/Vista skin only. But it shouldn't be doing that.....a vista skin should work just fine on Win7

You need to open a ticket with SD Support, but you won't get an answer anytime soon. They'll be on vacation until 1/3/11.
