Taskbar size reverts to default height

(I'm sure this has been covered plenty of times, but it's not in the help file or FAQ and this forum doesn't have a search function.)

I generally extend the height of my taskbar to two buttons high to provide more room for more open application buttons & systray icons. Everytime I restart (only with WindowBlinds installed), the taskbar reverts to one button height.

Is this problem resolved by purchasing the full version?

This is an issue with WindowsXP. When XP switches from the Luna skin to the Classic skin, which WindowBlinds uses, it restores the taskbar to one line. You can test this yourself without WindowBlinds running. Just load up the Luna skin (the blue one that comes with XP), and set your taskbar to two lines. Now load the Classic style and you'll see XP resize it. When XP boots up, it is running the Blue luna skin. When WindowBlinds kicks in, it switches to the Classic look, which causes XP to resize the taskbar.

Aha...so laying out the $ isn't going to help.

I don't suppose WB4 addresses this somehow...?

That is, I get that it's an XP issue in that WB requires the classic look to be set, but does WB4 have the same requirement, or is it improved to support XP?
