MS Office (2003 and 2007) & Windowblinds Compatiblilty

Hello all!

I encounter heavy (at least for me) problem with windowblinds
Office 2003 already has a great style which disappears when windowsblinds is active on the pc. But with Office 2007 beta 2 the design has changed a lot more (it looks amazing) and with Windowblinds running it is more than HORRIBLE

Miss I an option to use the XP appearance for office programs or is there any workaround to make office programs looking normal with runnig Windowblinds?
Help!!
Thank you a lot in advance!

There was a "Make Office Blue" option at one time which I think addressed this but I don't find anything in WBConfig like that now.

MakeOfficeBlue is a wb.ini setting thats never had a UI.

To make WB pick the blue UI for office you open wb.ini (in the windows directory) and add the following :

[Global]

MakeOfficeBlue = 1

Other numbers will give you the other colour schemes office has hardcoded.

As for Office 2007, you can manually exclude the exes from WB if you want to have the default office look.

Does "close" count?

I'm sorry to tell you this, but those settings are not working

WindowBlinds keeps messing Office's layout making it to look gray and plain.
Do you have any other ideas?

Edit: Nevermind, I just realized it was a problem with only one skin. Anyway, do you know why this skin those that to Office? It's called Aero-starry eyed by Oliver Tristan (vista-like skin.
I'm using Vista 2.0 by Jemaho and Office looks fantastic.
