WindowsBlinds 4x or 5x on 3DLabs VP760 Video Card producing black toolbar and dialog box buttons

from Stardock Forums

I have been having issues with WindowBlinds 4x or 5x on my desktop computer running a 3DLabs VP760 Video Card.  My Themes keep producing black colors through my skins on all buttons whether they are on dialog boxes, tool bars or windows. 

I've tried upgrading the video card drivers and the version of DirectX but nothing has worked so far. Any ideas would be helpful thanks. 

PS. Something besides getting a different video card. ;)

Here is the information from the system information, I've tried the two check box flags at the bottom and they don't appear to help either.

PLEASE report all this information when submitting a problem report, especially anything related to per-pixel skinning. We don't know what's in that Dell you bought last July or the notebook with integrated graphics the office gave you. Per-pixel skinning requires your drivers to at least claim to support the SB_PIXEL_ALPHA flag in the SHADEBLENDCAPS structure.

Oh yeah and the link about the pirated copy, I already read through that and it doesn't apply, I own Object Desktop.
