Windows not "skinning"

from Stardock Forums

Hi!

For some reason, whenever I apply a windowblinds skin, it doesn't "skin" the actual windows, but everything else (taskbar, start menu, etc.) are skinned perfectly fine, as they should be. However, I'm still stuck with the regular Aero windows.

Here's an example:

This skin, "Turbo" (by Stardock) is supposed to look like this:

When I apply it, it looks like this:

Ignoring the background, everything's fine, except the windows - they still have that Aero theme to them. How can I get rid of this?

I used to run Windows XP 32-bit Media Center Edition, but I can't remember the version of Windowblinds I had. It worked perfectly fine back then, but ever since I switched to Windows 7, this happened.

I'm currently running Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium, with Windowblinds 7, if that helps at all.

Open the Windowblinds config window.  Click on Settings at the top toolbar.  Click on Advanced Settings.  Make sure you do not have "I want to use Aero window frames but keep the rest of the skin" checked.  If it is checked, un-check it and re-apply the skin.
