I've recently run across a problem that happens with Access 2003, and only some WB skins.

The problem is that button clicks on the close, max/restore, and minimize buttons on the title bar don't work.

The skins I've found that have this issue are: Arrow, Longhorn 5203, Noire, Rusty Rooster, and Vista XP.

There may be others as I've only tested some, but many do work, like 5imple Alpha, Stealth OS, Thunderstorm, and Aura.


This problem exists in Access 2000 also, but only momentarily. After several clicks the minimize FINALLy worked. Just some mo' info. BTW skin used during this episode was DogMax4.

I tried it out and its great. The only problem is that it does not not support multi-user. Just discovered it today when my wife went into her account, and the window blinds was disabled. Any ideas for a multi-user environment?

No fun having to switch back to Luna just to have this valuable tool.


Does not 5 Beta still give the option to skin Outlook with only Luna (or any other skin that works) until the issue gets resolved? Be easier that switching each time.

Huh? I never saw an option that specifically skins OUTLOOK...or are you SUGGESTING that WB acquires this option?

I tried all the "per application" options, none of which fixed the issue in Outlook - including the "Total exclusion" option.

Great news that it will be fixed, though.

Hi there

never actually written on the forum before, just another OD user,..just installed WB5, and it works like a dream. For me as a designer, I especielly wanted photoshop CS2 to work,..and it does, and actually faster than with the old WB
Actually the whole computer seems to be faster than with the previous WB,.. havent encountered any bugs yet...

I used the guide about installation that #70 Corky wrote, and did not run WB5 when download was complete, but instead rebooted the machine,.. WB5 kicked off by itself and loaded, when computer turned back on,..and everything worked right away..

To me this is for sure the best WB ever, and the most beautiful too, hehe... so thumbs up from me, and looking forward to the real release !

per application - add your application (in this case Outlook) then look right above the total exclusion box. Pull down the drop down and change "use default skin" to 'use specified skin' - then click choose skin

just don't know if these options exist in 5

Works great but i dont see a delete button if i dont like the skin as before...


It's right above where it says Apply this Skin Now, above the list of skins.

4.95(.012 is the latest beta release for windowblinds 5


Mine says it is 5.00 and the icon is back in the task bar.

There is a bug in firefox which can cause its content to jump around. This can happen with or without WindowBlinds.



hmm now that I think on it, it was only Firefox doing that. Cool thanks for the info.

All our testing shows it works perfectly for multiple user setups.

If you still have a problem, uninstall WB totally and reinstall it.

I've done that a couple of times without success. The only thing I can think of that I haven't done is to delete all non-skin files before rebooting. Would that make a difference?

After updating my SDC to latest. WB5 shows as version 4.95 but when you install it then it shows as Version 5...??? Beta 1 corrupted my system and I had to reformat (thank goodness for backups) and I was leary of installing Beta 2 (WB5), so I took the plunge and updated but it would not update properly until I went back to SDC and unloaded it then redownloaded then it installed correctly.

All in all...nice upgrade!

I have left a post for an admin to clear your serial number.
