Problem with Window Blinds in Xp

August 29, 2002 3:33 PM from

I used the Beacon.wba skin for Window Blinds for a couple of days and liked it, but now whenever i change to another skin it loads the beacon skin for the taskbar, but everything else is in the skin i want, any ideas?

There is a setting in your WindowBlinds options to always use the taskbar/start menu from a skin of your choosing. You probably checked off the box without realizing it.

Open your Display Properties and go to the Advanced tab. Next, click the Advanced button. In the upper right corner of the window that opens, you should see a checkbox labeled "Always use the XP taskbar defined in ..." Uncheck that and you should be all set.

Check the Advanced window in Display Properties > Appearance, and make sure it's not set to always use the Beacon taskbar.
