Here is a pic of what my start menu is doing...I'm using windows xp and resolution is 1024x768....



could someone please let me know if it's something I can do on my end to fix it...and remember....you're talking to a lil ole country gal here so please keep it in 'layman's terms'

Thanks!

The sound can be enabled in WB Config. I don't believe this skin will run correctly in 1024 x 768.

Hey back...make sure in Control Panel/ Sounds that you don't have it disabled. The sounds should work on the skin
....BTW: consider squinting as exercise for your eyes...

WindowBlonds are supposed to resolution independent, so Gary's comment about it not working on 1024 res made me curious. I downloaded the skin, and set my res to 1024. The Start Panel lines up perfectly here........... I don't have a clue why it's doing that for you. Have you tried reinstalling the skin?

WindowBlonds


....I worry about you at times

I was of the same opinion on the WB resolution thingy, but in the Author's comments He made mention of making 'adjustments' for lesser resolutions....I don't know. That and the sound problem make me think you're right about a new install...can't hurt...


.....now about them 'Blonds'........

Worked on 1024 for me as well, both with small and large icons in the Start Panel.

Mrs. _footsie_, what version of WB are you using?
I know there were some alignment issues with earlier versions of WB and some skins, because it happened on one of the skins I did.

I believe the problem has to do with the font. The font mrs_footsie is showing in the screenshot is not the skin font. Check your User Overrides in WB Config, and change the font setting for "All skin-defined fonts to be replaced by:" to "Leave skin fonts alone" And I believe your problem will go away. It is also possible that the font size is causing the problem, since it looks to be a bit larger font, but it's hard to tell from the screenshot as the same size in different fonts can occupy significantly different amounts of territory. SO if my first suggestion doesn't work, try changing the font size in user overrides as well.

Right-click the WindowBlinds icon in the systray, and "About WindowBlinds".

You really should update. WB is up to 4.3 now, and this probably why you're having these glitches. You can update via Stardock Central https://www.stardock.com/products/sdcentral/index.asp :)

I think you can email T-Man to fix your multiple posting problem. It was mentioned in another thread.
