Windowblinds help - Invisible (white) text in start panel.

December 1, 2001 3:31 PM from

I was running XP Jeans, and it was fine. Today my WindowBlinds trial expired, so I uninstalled the shareware, purchased and installed v3.01, and now I have white text in the start panel making the recent apps invisible, and the right-hand text a bit hard to see.

I saw there was an updated XP Jeans with the statement **fixed white text** so I figured it was solved. I loaded that version, and no change. I used the WB menu to remove XP Jeans, and then re-added the "fixed" version, and its still the same.

I have also noticed that pretty much all the skins from that author have the same problem, and I am running the latest version of them all.

This may be because the files have not been overwritten, or because some temporary files have remained. Delete the skin (you might want to check that it's actually gone from the WindowBlinds directory) and then reload it from the wba. You may also need to restart WindowBlinds.

That did it! Thanks a lot! Not sure if this entire rigor was necessary, but here is what I did:
1. Unload WindowBlinds (via unload button).
2. Went to C:\Program Files\Object Desktop\WindowBlinds\ and deleted the directories corresponding with the bad skins.
3. Reboot.
4. Re-installed the skins with the newer version from this site.

It's all happy now.
