I clicked Unload WindowBlinds o_O

It could happen to you

July 21, 2006 6:01:18 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
It was an accident. I wanted to change a setting in WB & right-clicked the tray icon. I'm not sure what happened next-- my hand must have slipped. I knew I had clicked and I saw that Unload WindowBlinds was highlighted. All I could do was watch in horror as the Loading dialog popped up and my beautiful desktop went through a tragic devolution before my eyes into... you know...

Restarting WB isn't enough. It takes a full reboot to set things right. All I can say is: Stay vigilant at the controls. You could be next...

Currently I have a nice olive green XP theme, and I use icon packager to have those sexy Windows 95 icons. Of course I am posting this from an AOL browser with 14 toolbars .

*gets back to making my noose*

Carvan, it was something about the Taskbar or ObjectBar. After WB unloaded, a couple of dialogs opened & moved things around like ObjectBar does. When I restarted WB Config, it reloaded my skin, but then the Taskbar unskinned itself. After a couple of efforts ot get it back, a reboot seemed like the easiest route to putting things right, so I went with it.

Ahh, I don't use ObjectBar, not sure if it still conflicts with RightClick.
I would have to install it to see if I could replicate the fun you had.
