WindowBlinds hates tray items?

from WinCustomize Forums
No matter which skin I use in the most current version of WB, I can't get it to play nice with my tray icons.
I'll click on the arrow for the tray, right click on any icon, and if WB is active with a skin, the popup menu is usually either blank or partially blank. Any ideas?

Sorry, I haven't seen that behavior on W98 or XP. You might also post in the Stardock Windowblinds support newsgroup at news.stardock.com and/or send an email to Stardock support.

um.... when I get those kinds of problems it is memory (lots of times). How is your memory (RAM)? What is your OS? Was it always this way?

Yeah I have this same problem too. I'm using XP and my memory booster says I have 55% memory free which would be around 270 mb. It doesn't do it with everything I right click on my tray though. It also happens when I open Real One, like when I hit File or View.

I can tell you how to get it back. When you right click on something and it's blank, look for the arrow pointing to the left and right which will open a sub menu. Scroll through the sub menu and when you scroll back in the other menu the text will appear.

This just doesn't make sense. I have 384 MB RAM on my notebook, and it still happens. I can restart my computer, and do NOTHING but click on these tray items and it still happens. I could understand it if the OS didn't release RAM after several apps had been open, but not after a fresh restart.
Oh, well.

Well, I don't know if this means anything, but the SP1 XP update has been known to cause strange glitches and such.....

I never have this problem with my WindowsXP Pro SP1...So, I don't thing that it is WindowBlinds or Windows XP problem, maybe something else.

I have the same issue, and the solution Al Jules posted works for me. I suspect that windows simply didn;t paint the panel as it was supposed to.
