I guess the following is a common problem - but much like the common cold, I cannot get rid of it.

I purchased and installed WindowBlinds 5 circa four months ago, and most of the time it does what it should. I am now running the current build (5.49e).026.

But it seems a few apps now resist skinning (<- urgh, what a nasty metaphor). Windows’ own calc.exe and my main text editor Textpad (which were skinnable before) now have the plain dull Windows look again. Changing the skin (Tiger2, Fresco) had no effect.

Any idea how to fix this?
