Changing colors in VISTA doesn't work

March 4, 2008 4:53:07 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I recently purchased an official license of WindowBlinds Vs. 6.02 enhanced and installed it on my partitioned computer #1 (Windows XP Pro / VISTA Ultimate) and on computer #2 (VISTA Home Premium).

But you can't change the colors of any theme in VISTA! I only want to chage those white windows of most themes into pastel colors. The options are there and you can make any color, but it won't appear in the opened windows.

Even stronger: themes that have default colored windows also appear with white windows.

But it does work in XP! I can get any color I want there ...

Try it out for yourselves and let me know if this is caused by the program? Anyway, I'm already granted a refund if the option would not work in VISTA. A real pity it is though.

Could you post a screenshot showing which area is not changing colour for you?

I have 3 screenshots of the Theme called Molten.
The first 2 shots show you how I changed the white window color into some kind of pinkish pastel color in XP Pro and how it does work fine.
Then I did the same thing (that color) in VISTA and screeshot 3 shows you the "computer" window where the color is still white. The small boxes have changed into that color, but that's not our intention ..
And this is happening in every downloaded theme from WinCustomize.
Even themes that have default window colors appear white in VISTA (but OK in XP).

There isn't any option to add screenshots here. What do you want me to do? You can give me your Email address and I'll send it to there if you like?

Upload your screenshots to a site such as Flickr and then click the button at the far right above the text entry and paste the link in the screen that opens. That will insert the pic in the "Add A Reply" section.

Heyo Hankers,

Here is a RepidShare link to the 3 screenshots.
Copy and open the link, and if you're not a Premium subscriber select the FREE download. Wait a number of seconds and copy the combination of 4 letters and figures they will show you to the box.

Unzip:

Fig 1: selecting a pastel color for the windows in thew theme Molten in VISTA Ultimate
Fig 2: the windows remain white, but the boxes (indicating partitions) recolor instead
Fig 3. the identical operation in XP Pro results in a correct recoloring of the windows like they should be

Regards,
Samsi
