What happened to the statusbars?

Statusbar Text not Updated Properly

from Stardock Forums
If I apply a skin other than a Windows one, my statusbars do not update their text correctly. Why?


WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.5 (build 94 x86))

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine supports per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

Can you explain what you mean by "not updating properly" or post a screenshot of the problem?

It seems to affect only Borland C++ Builder applications. The statusbar text is either blank or appears "frozen" instead of updating. I use the statusbar to display progress of various operations. The image here should be counting seconds to the next sweep, but the text doesn't change, despite the program working fine. Any ideas?

OK, folks. I have sorted this irritation out. It was Borlands implementation of a Simple StatusBar that causes the problem. I have changed my software suite to use multi-panel statusbars with a single panel and they now all update fine under Windows Blinds skins now. Thanks for your help. Regards,
