Just applied the wonderful 'Black' skin and realized that while it skins the titlebar of Windows Media Player (WMP) in Vista, it also prevents WMP from displaying any content in the window. Basically, the central window is just a white box (although the title bar, borders and transparent area with controls all appear okay). I've tried other skins, too, but they all give the same problem.

I attempted to apply partial exclusions to the WMP app: You know, "only skin title bar" and "don't skin this or that" options. None of that helped.

If I exclude WMP completely from skinning, it works fine. Similarly, if the Aero theme is running, then WMP works fine.

I'm using the latest version of WindowBlinds. Here are my system specs:

Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 3.4
Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 5.9

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.0 (build 56 x86 - Vista Edition)

Any thoughts on how to run WindowBlinds but keep WMP skinned AND working well?

Thanks.
