WindowBlinds doesn't paint menu of some applications

Hi all,

I noticed a strange behaviour of WindowBlinds: in some applications (like SciTE), the frame of the menu is painted while the menu itself is missing.

However - when moving the mouse up and down I can repaint the menu while the menus to the left and right appear like they should when I move the mouse sideways

Graphics adapter is a Geforce 7600GT (AGP) with newest drivers (175.19); WindowBlinds version is also the newest one (6.20)

Any ideas?

Have you tried excluding that program from being skinned to see if that resolves this issue?

Open the WindowBlinds Configuration screen and click on the Settings tab. Select "Change the look of an app" tab and then "Add per application setting". Locate the exe for the program you wish to exclude and select it. In the screen that appears put a check mark in "Ignore this application and do not skin it". Click OK and that should do it.

Excluding the app does help, however doesn't solve the problem.

It worked with WindowBlinds 6.00 and an older SciTE release - I just reinstalled my machine some days ago and switched to the newest availabe versions of all installed software.

This happens to me as well with some skins on the Live Messenger tray icon Status menu.
