problems with windowblinds

from WinCustomize Forums
I know this probably isn't the best place to ask this but are there any other developers out there (application developers) that use MS .Net framework? If so are you having problems with windowblinds 3? I can't seem to do any debugging while a theme is activated. I want to buy windowblinds but what's the point if I have to disable it whenever I want to do some programming (which is all the time.)

hmmmmmmmmmm........

I think the trial version has some bugs in it. I too had some problems with it as far as some "blinds" not working with some applications.

Also, I am not sure about MS.NET. If that is a specific program then you might have to exclude it from windowblinds "skinning" it. I am not sure if the trial version has that feature.

There are developers here. A few of them. But I do not know what they devolope.

BTW
What exactly happend when windowblinds is on while your debugging?? I have windows 2000 pro and the debuging script is on (becuase I am training in visual basic and c++) and it comes up with out any problems. well I guess 2000 is not MS.NET but just wondring what exactly happens. I guess you might have found a "bug" in windowblinds!!!!

if you are trying to use asp.net, you need to exclude both devenv.exe and aspnet_wp.exe from being skinned by windowblinds. I use vs.net most of the time doing both c++ and c# and asp.net programming and have windowblinds running all of the time.

Thanx faramir. I am using ASP.NET. It's weird becuase before I found windowblinds I used themeXP and it worked ok with my dev environment.

Joe, mostly it kicks me out of debug mode.(like running using ctrl-F5 instead of F5)

Now i just have to find out how to exclude that devenv from being skinned.

Display properties/Appearance Tab/Windowblinds button. Click the Per Application Icon. Select Add per application setting button. Select from disk. Navigate to devenv.exe, probably something like C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe. Click Ok. I would then reboot, just to make sure the setting takes effect. Do the same thing with aspnet_wp.exe, which is in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705 on my system.
