Hello,

I am not able to skin yahoo messenger since I upgraded to WindowBlinds 5.1. I bought windowblinds a a month ago and installed it on a freash install of windows. It worked then with 5.0 but now it wont.

I have seen the post about yahoo crashing went started because of windowblinds and have experianced it, but now it does not crash anymore. It stopped crashing BEFORE 5.1 was installed and was skinned.

If I change the skin that is installed with yahoo, (yes it comes with its own skins) they work. But if i change it to classic eg luna it goes to windows classic mode but with a differnt colour similer to the windowblinds skin been applyed. It USED to take the windowblinds skin when the classic skin (yahoo)was used but now it doesnt now.


If you look at the screen shot below, you can see that in the Winfx task bar preview the skin (windowblinds) is being used but not on the yahoo messenger app.

Here are my WindowBlinds details:

Another problem I have been having is that sometimes when i start apps they arent skinned but the if i resize them it become skined. Irfanview is quite bad for this.
