Black bar under address bar

from Stardock Forums

Hello Guys, hope all is well.

I am currently running Windows Blinds on Windows 10 ver 1903. On the file explorer a black bar is appearing under the address bar, but when I maximize or resize the window it disappears. Also chrome browser is not being rendered correctly it is leaving a lot of artifacts when closing tabs and the close , maximize and minimize buttons are not there.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. The blackbar does not appear on my system. Need to know more.

1) Windowblinds version installed.

2) The black bar only happen on specific theme or any theme?

3) The black bar appear on Dark and light Windows 10 colors theme?

4) Does restart the system help the issue?

And on Chrome not skinned properly on Windowblinds : It is known issue once again, you can refer to these thread discussing on it : https://forums.stardock.com/494835

Basj,

Do you use OldNewExplorer to remove the ribbon?
If so, you should use the built-in option in WindowBlinds settings to remove the ribbon instead.

Mine was also glitched like that, because of OldNewExplorer.

Thank you  erkaz, that seemed to solve the problem. I forgot that I had OldNewExplorer installed. I uninstalled it and no more black bars.:beer:  :D
