undesired behavior of minimize button

I am just trying out WindowBlinds and I notice a strange behavior.  My minimize button in the upper right hand corner now closes the application.  This is very frustrating as I keep closing my apps when I want to minimize them.  Is this a feature or is there something I need to tweak?  Any help greatly appreciated.

Which OS are you using? This is the trial I assume,where did you download it from? Does it do this with all skins? If not,which one does it? Open WB config and go to system info,copy it and paste it here.

Should have remembered to do this.  Windows XP sp3.  Trial version of WB.  My system has never done this before.  No other apps installed since WB.  Downloaded from CNET.com  Does it with Dragon by Stardock, Hogworts by HeirofSlytherin.  If I switch back to Windows Classic or XP the problem goes away.  Once I switch to Dragon it comes back.

No wait!  This is really peculiar.  The apps look like they are in my system tray but if I look in the task manager they aren't running.

Ah, that did it.  I thought that was just to send WB to the tray.  Thanks!  There are so many things to check out when starting to use a new app.  So confusing.

That still leaves the problem of the apps in the tray not being active but as I'm not using the tray I'm not going there.
