This is normal. Apps like that will not work correctly with per pixel skins. As it happens, they are also unlikely to work on vista. You may find that if you click where the buttons would be, they may work though.
The ATI control centre should work with WB. It uses Stardock DirectSkin for the skin!
It is an ATI problem, not a Stardock problem. The drivers report the cards capabilities to apps and in this case the ATI drivers are saying the card cannot do hardware acceleration for that feature.
I think I might know why that is happening now. It might happen if you had already deleted the skin directory from the HD and so WBConfig is unable to switch into the directory when it deletes files.
It should be pointed out that StealthOS is a considerably more complex skin that luna is.
WindowBlinds 5 does not support Windows 2000.
Are you trying to install the app? Installation must be done under an admin account, but WB itself should not have any problems once installed.
godskin: What error do you get?
You should find this is resolved in WB 4.6 and later anyway.
Older versions of ThemeManager are not compatible with WindowBlinds 5.
Did you try rebooting when you had the error? WindowBlinds should have no impact on your banking website and if you have unloaded WB then its not doing anything to interfere with it. Uninstalling WB would have taken a reboot, so I wonder if thats all it wanted. I have also tried excluding internet explorer here with WB5 and it excludes it correctly.
This sounds like a driver problem. I would reboot & see if it continues. If it does then reinstall the drivers and see if that helps as sometimes the ATI drivers do not install correctly the first time.
Please install the latest WB build and see if that helps.
What does the troubleshooting page say?
Which version of Works is it?
WinCustomize Forums
WB does not remove the Windows XP theme on install. It never has done & never will do. Most likely your file has become corrupted.
The OpenOffice2 flickering issue should be resolved in the next build.
J-Mac: Which menus in Pocomail? I tried installing it and all the menus looked fine here. Could you provide a screenshot? Also with FotoSlate 4, where are the template selection boxes as again I am unable to reproduce any problems with them. Night Train: What happens with works word processor?
Please ensure you are running WB 5 beta 3.
WB should work fine under limited user rights. It does need to be installed by an administrator though. Running wbconfig should show up all the skins installed on your PC as WB will not show in display properties under a new user until wbconfig has been run. This is done to ensure other users are not confused by the additional WB options in display properties.
Those with 9200 cards who have this problem should contact ATI tech support and request they fix it. There is nothing we can do in WB to work around this as if the drivers have no support then we cannot add it for them. 9500 cards and later have no problems with it.
What if you just reapply the skin, not unload & reload. Also is this with the 4.96 release?
Screen Edge Clip adjustment is not permitted with per pixel frames.
What is the exe name?
