Taskbar Buttons take up the whole length of the taskbar

from Stardock Forums

Win7/64 with 8Gb RAM, all updates, NVIDIA GeForce GT 450 video subsystem with latest drivers.

When WindowBlinds is running, Taskbar buttons for running apps take up the whole length of the Taskbar, obscuring the pinned items. 

Expect: Pinned items always visible. Have tried various permutations of buttons & labels showing or not, with no effect.

This was already a one-day-old install of WindowBlinds 10.x

However, I created a new admin profile and uninstalled/re-installed WindowBlinds. I eliminated everything from the Startup section of msconfig and rebooted to the new profile.

I cannot duplicate the problem behavior in the new profile — but neither can I eliminate it by removing everything from Startup in my default profile.

I do see that the theme seems to be "stacking" tabs or subwindows (e.g., open mail messages in MS-Outlook) underneath the taskbar "button" for their application, but at a certain number of open applications, my pinned icons disappear behind very long buttons belonging to the running apps. So right now I have the window for Chrome and this page and a "button" for WinSCP — and those two take up the entire width of the taskbar, all the way to the system tray, despite MS-Outlook also running with one message open.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues.

1. Have you tried out the purge steps suggested by Mike (AzDude) in reply#1? There are difference between purge and uninstall?

2. Is the problem happened on any theme? Specially on Stardock's theme that come along with Windowblinds?

Basj,
