Problems with WB's not showing correctly

Just started happening.

February 23, 2014 12:07:51 PM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums

The buttons up top are missing yet they still work, min max and close. Everything was fine up until I loaded Metall Tech. It doesn't affect the windows I open, only the browser, I'm using Chrome. I tried taking screenshot but somehow it has affected photoshop. I can use print screen but it won't paste in PS. Also photobucket is acting weird too but that's another issue. Any ideas?

Did a reboot after deleting the skin and the problem persists, no buttons! Using GTX7 WB. The top frame is transparent but if I click on the button position it works. I'm still working on a screenie.

The latest version fixes the Chrome problem. Are you using the latest version. I have used Metal Tech a couple times and had no problem with it.

I have the latest version, 8.03. Its doing it now on other WB's. The entire top frame is invisible. I can see my screen through it. Now running LightStar's Crucible. Like I said there was no problem until after I loaded Metall Tech. None at all! I'm using FF now and the problem goes away. Guess its another issue with Chrome.

Finally got the screenie up. Photobucket's still wonky. Notice the top right. You can see the ASC monitor through it.

If I minimize Chrome while it's open and than go to the tray and open it I have no top of anything showing. If I run my cursor over the top it comes back. Go figure.

I get that too when changing skins. The frame doesn't load correctly until I mouse over it.

I'm having the exact same issue as you Uvah. So you're not alone. I'm using Chrome as well.     -- Ace  --

And I also see no buttons on Chrome, using any skin. Haven't for awhile. But then Chrome doesn't seem to skin.

I've had no problems with Chrome being skinned. It always skinned according to the WB I used. Its only with the last two iterations of Windowblinds. First the memory leak and now no buttons with half the top frame either covered up or not there at all.

Oddly, mine is behaving well on Chrome, but my buttons are displaced on IceDragon...upwards and to the left.

Just got up and out of habit opened Chrome. The top frame is back but like before half is covered up. Its still usable, doesn't affect the button's function, if you don't mind half a button.

The button chopped off happened to me yesterday and today, I am using FF.

 

Version 16.

WB 7.1, or 7.3.

 Odd, after metal tech did it, I installed my Necro, and it to did it, but just in FF maximized. Other windows are fine.

My new skin works okay also, and has no extensions to framing, basically square, no sticky outys!

Maybe an issue with framing and margins settings not loading correctly, leave that to the code masters.

Hope it gets straightened out, kinda sucks.

Gotta be a similarity with what is causing it seeing how we use different everything proggie ways, wb code or FF code. I wish yous luck.

Edit, chops off all top framing in FF when maximized, just depends on where the buttons are positioned on whether or not they are chopped.

Still cutting the frame off though.Only FF still.

BUt then, that is all I use.

Chrome/Opera has always made WB cripple on skinning with its newest build on every updates.

Very odd that. I switched over to FF and there isn't any cutoff, only when I use Chrome. Could it be something to do with the browser's coding and not WB?
