Hi,

I have recently installed Wndowsblinds 8 on my Windows 8.1 machine. All updates have been done on my machine as well as having the latest Windowblinds update of 8.10.0.

Up until recently I have had no problems. But now, for some reason, I am getting a black explorer background on every skin I try to apply, even on the skins supplied by Stardock and the font is unreadable as well.

OS: Windows 8
WB: Windowblinds 8.10.0

I have had Windowblinds 8 on my Windows 8 machine in the past and have had no issues whatsoever. I recently reinstalled Windows 8 after trying 10 for a bit didn't care for it at this time. But I wiped the hard drive completely and reinstalled 8 fresh. For a week or so, I had no problems with Windowblinds but now I get the black background. I thought it might be the skin, so I switched to another one and that didn't fix the problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, I apologize if this problem has been addressed in another thread.

Thanks in advance,
Jason

FIX for BLACK EXPLORER BACKGROUNDS

Click Backgrounds > Click Explorer Background > Slide "ACTIVE WINDOW OPACITY" Slider to FAR RIGHT.

That, for some reason fixed my problem. Don't know why it did because I have never changed the opacity settings ever so don't know why this fixed it.
