Taskbar Not Changing With Windowblinds

from WinCustomize Forums
Man, I still can't figure this out. I have the fullversion of windowblinds but when I change the skin it just changed my taskbar to look kinda gay. I just have a modified one with a wierd start button... the one in the image has a whole new start button... what do I have to check to get the full taskbar?

My guess is that you're not running Windows XP. That screenshot shows the Windows XP taskbar skinned. The other versions of Windows only have the old taskbar so WindowBlinds can only skin that. What you need is ObjectBar. OB is a taskbar replacement that has the ability to mimic the Windows XP taskbar and start menu and use the Windows XP skin to skin itself.

I do have XP - should I have "Do Not Use Any XP Specific Skin Features" enabled?

If I do, it turns the bar back to my old windows bar.. but it wont change..
WindowBlinds - Free yourself of the default settings, customize your desktop.

No ....you do NOT want that enabled.
What skin is giving you the problem?

Right now i've got my first taskbar from when I tried out platinum (or whatever one of the windowblinds basics skins are) and it wont change when I change skins.

there is a setting under the advanced section of the windowblinds... where it always uses one specific taskbar no matter what skin you use...click properties on you desktop.. then the apperence tab on the top, after that select the advanced button, just under the windowblinds and effects buttons... on the top right of the window that pops up... it gives you the option I speak of... make sure it is disabled... I hope that settles your prob... if not... I suggest uninstalling window blinds... check and make sure that all of the files are deleted... and then... reinstall... good luck...
