Per application not working in WB5

from WinCustomize Forums
My per app settings page in WB 5 has looked like this for quite a time (in all versions of WB5, with all skins):



No buttons, no possible actions. Otherwise WB5 seems to be working properly and doesn't show any other deviations. I've tried reinstalling it, but that didn't change anything. Please help!

Seems that the bottom of the window is somehow missing, as other pages in the WB Config miss the bottom scrollers.

did you ever have the trial version?
if so, did you fully uninstall prior to installing WB5?
if not, did any version of WB have the buttons, for you?

I had a trial, but uninstalled it completely, previous versions (up till WB5 final) had all the buttons.

did the trial have buttons?

I don't actually remember that, as the trial was not working properly for me and I uninstalled it pretty quickly.

trial should of had buttons

did you install WB5 with SDC?
Reply #9 from Stardock Forums Top

which WB version is showing as installed when accessing SDC?


is 4.6 still an option for you (as in showing to be installed, not whether you would consider using it )?


how many WB skins do you have downloaded?


do you have the ODZapper?


know where I'm going with this?

had to commute after post #7


i'm at work now, with no access to any of the products so I'm going by memory and/or reaching behind with both hands

Only WB 5 is installed, but wb 4.6 is an option in SCD. I have around 15 skins and don't have an idea what ODZapper is, nor where you are goin with this

Bichur wants you to back up your skins, zap (totally remove any vestige of WB, and install 4.6.

ODNT Zapper: https://www.stardock.com/files/odnt_zapper.exe

Be warned, this will get rid of any themes or skins for the appropriate components, so be sure to copy them before running the zapper - they’re usually found in directories within C:/Program Files/Object Desktop/{component name}.

Can I install WB 5 first and check if it solves the problem? Or is there a stratgy in installing 4.6 first and then Wb 5 on top of it or something?

unglitched link to zapper:  http://tinyurl.com/r8xw5


well yeah....I don't recommend scorching unless all else fails. 



I was going to suggest 1st ... uninstalling 5 ...reboot...install 4.6 - reboot - see if you have buttons...if so, uninstall 4.6 - reboot - install 5 - reboot and see if you still have buttons

It looks like the problem is a font issue.  The default OS font must not be changed or things like this happen as dialog sizing is based on the default dialog font.

I you have manually edited the registry to change the default OS font, you must set it back.

OK, I actually edited the system font to SEGOE UI. How do I revert it? I've followed some instructions back than and cannot find them now

try googling 'changing system fonts'


if fixing the font back works...then......yay!
