Skinstudio/Windowblinds Issues on specific graphic elemnts

from Stardock Forums

Hello, 

I am using WIndows 11 and know the limitiation that it may give to Windowblinds/Skinstudio.

But this is not a Windows 11 specific issue, it is on later versions on WIndows 10 also (before 21h2 was released, so i dont know if it is a Winodws bug or if it can be fixed via Skinstudiuo / Windowblinds

i need some help and it is maybe not fixable in later versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11, i have seen another thread about the same issues, but on Windows 10 after a specific version number. 

That is why i ask for advice and help.

Version of Installed programs

 

File, Edit, View Buttons are transparent or text is, in File Explorer and Taskmanager, Foobar but not in Skinstudios menubar for example.

Small Windows, File Dialogs and Install Wizards does not fill up background, and background around the outside of the tab itself is also not correct filled up (look at the sound settings screenshot)) i don't know the name of that graphic element, but it is also transparent. And of course upper part of Skinstudios and Windowsblinds just below Caption (i don't know how many pixels, but is more than 30) is also fully transparent (Where the Windowsblinds logo is, half the logo has no background.) All pictures has same amount of pixels with no filled up background.

Hello,

Sorry to hear you are having issues. Is this issue happen on one skin and only on that skin? If so there are an error in that skin. Might be a graphic element that was assign and scaled wrongly. Which one? I am not sure. Need to look into the skin and hunt for it. Maybe someone else who more knowledgeable will come along and help.

Thanks

Hello, 

Thanks for answering

But a question, shouldn't that scaling behavior had been there on Windows 10 21h1 and 2004 if that was the issue? It is on all themes, MS certainly changed something in DEV builds last year, it was because of that i switched back to the mainstream builds again, but MS then adopted that graphic issue into retail builds, so it broke WB and Skinstudio themes, and i reported it ti feedbackhub, to no avail.

And those transparent menus (or text background ) on File, Edit, View in programs like foobar and other apps is a persistent thing between all themes in WB.

Hello,
How do you know if it not happening on Windows V2004? Still, you did not answer my question. Does this happen on all style or just one particular style?

Thanks
