Is there a way to generally deactivate, but only activate a theme for a certain list of applications?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. As far as I know there is no such option in current Windowblinds.

Thank you,

Is there a way to somewhere petition this, like users were doing it via Uservoice when it still existed back in 2019 in case of Xbox?

Hello,

I have forwarded your report to the Stardock support team for their review and recommendations.

Please keep an eye on this thread for any updates.

We really do appreciate your feedback, thanks.

A whitelist is in fact not a bad idea, and maybe more and more useful as Windows itself and apps have become very difficult to universally skin.

I need the same.

For win10, it would be better to just skin apps user wants (and avoid compatibility issues)

I second that. I am in a trial phase, and I think I will pass. Too much with too many application specific issues. It's a shame, because I love the look 2-3 applications I'd like to change have with the styles I like

Still no answer from Stardock?

It is a physical impossibility for whitelisting to work on Windows 7 unfortunately.

On Windows 10 you still have the issue that colour schemes and some fonts are global so would take effect no matter what.

We need to give it some thought on if this is viable or if it would confuse customers.

We do have a new product called Curtains which is in beta which depending on how much skinning you want might be more suited to your needs.  It has no exclusion lists what so ever and is designed with maximum compatibility but with limitations that come with that.

I think what is asked is easier than that: Just reverse the "PerApplicaction" feature

Things unfortunately do not work quite like that as noted.

Win7 is a certain no and Win10 would still have global colours and fonts applied impacting everything.
