App Exclusions

from Stardock Forums

Total exclusion does not work on any application.

I have selected which app, entered apply, restarted windowblinds, and even rebooted but nothing works.<br> Doing each application individually as the help file states. <br> Still, it does not work.<p>

At this point, I believe I will remove WindowBlinds from my computer, and just be glad my system has not been harmed.

Abit more explaination will be nice like what version of WB your using, which apllication(s) you want to exclude, what exactly the behavior of this excluded app(s) has/have (A ScreenShot will be great) and what are your system specs.

I am using WindowBlinds 5.
I do not want any of my graphic programs to be skinned. Aka Paint Shop Pro, Irfanview, Photoshop etc.
System specs are Windows Xp
Pentium4 CPU 1.80 GHz
512 MB RAM.
As to the behavior, just as I stated in my earlier post. Total Exclusion does not work with any program that I select, even after checking Total Exclusion, applying changes(one program at a time as help states), closing out WindowBlinds 5, then reloading WindowBlinds, and/or rebooting.
Below is a screen capture of Paint Shop Pro after Total Exclusion has been applied.

I have also noticed that online form buttons are skinned or bordered in the same skin that I am using.
Is that normal?

Did you tick the box to ignore this app in the per app dialog?

As an alternative way, right click the exe in explorer and on the compatibility tab tick disable visual themes.

The colour scheme will still be applied but thats normal as colours are global.

Yes, I did tick the ignore this app box.  Just will not keep any program from skinning.
As for ticking the disable visual themes, been there, done that.

Like I said, I am just going to take WindowBlinds off my system and be thankful that no harm was done.
Thank you for your response and for trying to be helpful in this matter.
