I just reinstalled my Windows on a fresh hard-drive and reinstalled Windowblinds. In the past I was able to change just the shellstyle and it would change the commands available within an explorer window and either move them to the top or the bottom of the window as horizontal.

When applying a skin and choosing another shellstyle it would not affect the taskbar or the start menu, the only thing it affected on my computer at least was the horizontal or vertical shell within explorer windows and the logoff/shutdown boxes.

I used "Vista Plus v2" for the windows and application skinning and "Vista Theme" for the shell because I like the full menus it gives but horizontally instead of vertically.

Now with this newer beta version of Windowblinds you only have the option to change the taskbar and startmenu. I realize these are parts of the shell also but in previous releases they would skin with the main skin chosen and only the explorer windows and logoff/startup were affected by specifying a different shell-style.

The only thing I can think of is that Windowblinds was not working properly before but has been fixed but I liked it when it was broken. How do I get the older version so I can do what I used to do or is there a way to do it with the new version?
