windows blinds program window

Hi everyone
I am loving the program, working good, the only issue/problem I have is when I launch Windows Blinds from my Task bar, It seems that I can't see everything in the window. Does that make sense??

Everything is fine on the left, but as I am reading it continues on, and I can't see what is on the right.
it is like the window isn't big enough and the writing is too big for the page. So I am not able to click any buttons over there (if there is any)

I hope this makes sense?!! Is there a way to fix this problem so I can see "everything" on the page.
Thanks
~B

In the Look & Feel/Visual Styles tab, just to the left of "Filter by Category" is a little icon. Click on that & see what happens just for grins. You should get a "tile view" of the skins; don't know if that will fix the sizing problem or not, but what the hey. You can double-click on the skin to apply it from that view.

Bichur~ when you took your screen shot, is that what your WB config window truly looks like? I guess what I am asking is, when you open the program, is the screen that size on your desktop?

that was a straight screen shot on a 1024x768 resolution

I am thinking it is a bug as well with the trial version.

I am glad to see though that I am not alone, and that someone else's screen shot looks exactly as mine. (Go-Horns) on you one shot, that is exactly what mine looks like as well.

Like I have said, it all works and I am really liking the program and will seriously be purchasing it.

Hello,
Did anyone every find a solution to this problem of not being able to see everything in the configuration windows b/c the contents are too big for the window. I am having the same problem with the trial version of windows blinds. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I am also having the same problem - have tried unloading windowblinds, loading classic theme, change DPI settings, changed resolutions to no avail.

Anyone find a fix?

PS. I am not using the trial, purchased the full suite

chino_sti, did you use the trial before purchasing the full program? If so, the trial MUST be uninstalled prior to installing the full version. The procedure is .......uninstall trial > reboot > install Impulse > reboot > install full version > reboot (rebooting is important!)

If that's not the case try changing to a different skin and then rebooting.

If you still have problems I suggest uninstalling Windowblinds > reboot > install Impulse (if not already installed) > reboot > install Windowblinds

It's always frustrated me that WBConfig is neither sizable nor vertically scrollable. Fortunately, I don't have any sizing issues with the current WBConfig on my rigs.

I have had WindowBlinds beginning with WB 4. It was when I updated to 6 the same thing happened to me I cant get the whole configuration window on my screen. It started when I went from 5 to 6. I would hate to have to go back to 5 after purchasing 6

CDOB it looks like you have been around for awhile so you probably have tried changing screen resolution or your DPI. I think WB likes a 96 DPI.

There have been some other posts with the same problem and it was changing from 5 to 6 that brought it to light. If a search through the forums doesn't work I'm sure an email to esupport@stardock.com will get you a fix.

Philly thanks so much! I had done a lot of display resolution checking, but I have never had my screen resolution set at 96 DPI even with the other WB versions sure enough that was the problem thanks again
