windowblinds skins

when I download the windowblinds I see changes to the windows on top and the start/task bar on the bottom. But when I go to start and to programs or documents, I don't see any special shading like in the previews. How do I get the special shadings?

Are you using XP? If not you won't get a skinned start menu - you have to use ObjectBar for that (it can read WB XP skins).

ObjectBar will not replace the WindowBlinds skin. What it can do is use the skin graphics contained in the WB skin that pertain to the XP-style taskbar and startmenu.

The end effect is that the Windows will be skinned by WB, and OB will mimic the XP-style taskbar and startmenu.

ok I got the shareware version of OB. I loaded a skin. I see what it does now. This is awesome! I'm gonna end up having the full version of Object Desktop!

OK I got a slight problem. I only see 3 icons on the task bar when I usually have 5. And I don't see icons on the lower left anymore next to the start button.

JB.ObjectBar takes a bit of customizing and trial and error.I choose ta bypass OB,it runs heavy on my system.I thought you were having trouble getting WB ta skin yer start menu,,sorry for the confusion-

JB, perhaps what you're seeing is task grouping (in which similar tasks (say, 3 instances of Internet Explorer) are represented by one task button.

If you click the task button, you'll see a menu allowing you to select which instance to activate.

You can disable task grouping by left-clicking the task bar and deselect the task grouping option.

On the otherhand, if you're referring to the quick launch icons, you can resize the quick launch section of the taskbar to show as many as you want.

Apologies if the above does not pertain to the problem.
