Reply to Windowblinds not skinning properly-My recent experiences and findings in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Hi guys. I've been both fascinated and frustrated during the tenure of my WB experience. I gave up on WB for years, but now I think It's working, mostly. Here are some things I've figured out in my trial and error endeavor... * WB does not work well with modern windows themes...It works best for me when I am in high contrast mode. There is much more control over the color settings in high contrast theme mode, and it makes it

Firefox will skin nicely using a 'Test Pilot' feature called "Tab Center" which puts tabs on the left side and completely eliminates the Title Bar function. Might not be everyones cup of tea,but...

Windows Blinds and Desktop View in WindowBlinds Stardock Forums

Something I found interesting: If you choose to change your 'Desktop' view to 'details' by Ctrl+Shift+6 then adjust the icon size by Ctrl+Scroll, most WB themes will create a matching header, (across all monitors), as well as the matching select and hover elements. I find it unique also as it keeps your desktop items/icons in one scrollable row to the left. The trick will survive a restart or cold boot but you'll have to eliminate/refresh the 'c

Reply to Windows 10 Tile Creator in OS Customization Stardock Forums

[quote who="selisa86" reply="6" id="3627186"] Thanks for the link, but that video suggests using TileCreator, which is one of the apps I have tried. It hasn't been updated since Sept. 2015 and seems to have some issues with newer builds of windows 10 (I tried both "Better Startmenu" and "TileCreator" so I am not sure which one messed up my computer, but there seemed to be some bugs in both apps). I would trust a program made by Stardock more than a random dev who may or may not updat

Reply to Start10 truncates "Windows Administrative Tools" in Start Menu Products Stardock Forums

[quote quoting="post"] Start10 is great, I cannot live without it. But... Windows Administrative Tools widens the right side of the start menu and worked great for months, then after some software maintenance it got truncated to "Windows Administr" I reinstalled Start10 which worked for a while but then after installing WindowsBlinds it was truncated it again. <img src="http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag204/telesynth/cutoff_zpsp6e8jylx.jpg" alt
