System is XP Pro, x64,

I believe that 6.2 (or maybe 6.1) was the last version to support XP64

I disagree. See this from the Release notes:

WindowBlinds 6.30 Release
------------------------
This release for WindowBlinds 6.30 adds new skinning options for layer blend modes. See the betas of SkinStudio 6.30 to check that out.

Support for a number of blending modes for layers
Breadcrumb bar text positioning no longer changes depending on if the window is maximized
Do not shift text when button pressed skin option (edit in SKS)
64 bit has had some tweaks to handle bad sizing of the addressbar
Shadow effect now works on very transparent things like the diamond taskbar clock text.

The reference to 64 bit is Vista 64 bit rather than XP 64 bit.

We no longer support Windows XP 64 bit edition.

Ah, well. Missed that.

Is it likely that reverting back to v6.2 will be the cure to my issue?

OK. Went back to v6.2 and the problem still persists.

But I found out that sometimes it vanishes, like yesterday, but that was the only time so far.

And just to add: drop down menues in programmes menue bar are also affected.

Any further ideas?

I also have the same problem . I recently reformatted both desktop and laptop and put the recent windowblinds on and after reboot if i right click on task bar or desktop i get black if i highlight over the black i can see the menus come up in white

@kathylea: And in your case: Is anything like Vista Transformation Pack installed in addition?
