Having an new issue

from WinCustomize Forums

Hey, I just switched skins back to basj's memopad and in the window where it's supposed to be a dotted line I'm now getting a black line until I click on the desktop then the windowblind switches colors cause the window is not focused and it goes back to normal. So What I'm saying is that every time I open a new window the line that is supposed to be dotted on the windowblind is a black solid one till I click on the desktop. Very frustrating to have to do it every time and I'm kinda OCD about it.

 

Edit: Can't post a screen shot cause as soon as I click on something else but the window it goes away. I'm also using OldNewExplorer. It just started happening out of nowhere 30 min ago.

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Is the issue only happening on Memopad style or any style? You can take a screenshot by press the "prt sc": print screen on the keyboard -> open up paint3d or any paint program -> new -> "paste" from clipboard. It should paste what ever on the monitor when you press the "prt sc" key. Try it and post it here.

Thanks

I tried reinstalling the skin but it just did the same thing. Is there a way to do a fresh install of windowblinds? Edit oh and it's just that skin so far that's having the problem.

I am not seeing the issue on my side. Even installing OldNewExplorer and I am not seeing it. Here what I get on mine. Please test without using OldNewExplorer.

Please try purge and reinstall as mentioned in this guide : https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#reinstalling

Just make sure to re-download the latest version from your account. Reboot after the purge. Reinstall Windowblinds using the latest downloaded version. Reboot after the installation . Retest and report back.

Thank you,

It's still doing it after all that. The only changes that I've made to my computer in the last 2 months were installing the latest version of MPC-HC through the K-Lite Codec Pack and updating my Nvidia drivers yesterday.

Try Nvidia Drivers rollback to previous version. BTW, is the issue appear on Windows Explorer without oldnewexplorer?

Thank you,

Seems to be a problem with OldNewExplorer cause the skin works fine without it.

Turns out it was the enable glass on navigation bar setting that I needed to uncheck. Thanks.
