Issues with Visual Studio.NET 2003 and Arrow in WB5

October 13, 2005 10:47:54 AM from WinCustomize ForumsWinCustomize Forums
I really like the Arrow skin includedd with WB5. Unfortunately it makes Visual Studio .NET 2003 unuseable. The text is not visible in the Start Page and Open dialog. In addition the Open dialog goes to full screen size. I have tried Application Settings in WindowBlinds to no avail. Tried diabling skinning for the application and using another selcted skin. If I use for instance 5imple Alpha then everything is fine.

I assume this is due to the colors. Is there some setting I can use to fix this for VS.NET? Maybe sonething in SkinStudio?

Thanks,
Jay

Does this issue only occur with the Arrow skin? Have you added Visual Studio .NET to the "Per Application" list and marked it to be excluded from skinning altogether?

I have the exact same problem.  This is what I could find:


There are know problems with Visual Studio .Net and WB5.  No solution as yet.  See https://forums.stardock.com/index.aspx?ForumID=166&AID=88910#688611.


I couldn't get the Arrow skin to work, but I found another skin that is very similar (and IMHO slightly better) on Wincustomize that does play nicely with Visual Studio.  See https://www.wincustomize.com/ViewSkin.aspx?SID=1&SkinID=5212&LibID=1


Hope that helps.

Mike, I can answer your question since I've already played around with this.  Using Arrow as my default skin, and setting an exclusion for devenv.exe does not work (Visual Studio is properly excluded, but it still has those large dialogs and tabs).  Oddly enough, the problem does not exist if I set a different skin to be the default, and change the Visual Studio exclusion to use Arrow.

KamWah - thanks for the links.

Mike - I did try per application for VS.NET and no skinning.

Thanks,
Jay
