black areas and gaps - sometimes

from Stardock Forums
Hi!

From time to time, i get black areas and little gaps in the taskbar when i use a "per-pixel" skin... This happens with WB5 and WB6beta (positions marked red at the screenshot). I enabled/disabled "Hyperpaint", the "Enable if you have corrupted titlebar buttons & text backgrounds, and all other options that may cause this - with no luck. It still happens and the only way to ged rid of that is to resize/redraw the taskbar... grrr. what can i do to avoid this? i did a clean install and also tried to reinstall WB (and also changed from the beta to WB5 final -> and back...) ... help me please. I use the latest Catalyst 7.9 drivers.

Those dates are nowhere near what they should be for that version. Try un-installing - reboot - re-installing WB - reboot to see if that corrects the issue. Post the system files again after completing this.

Ok. I deinstalled WindowBlinds -> reboot -> deinstalled all other stardock programs -> reboot -> reinstalled "stardock central" and then downloaded WindowBlinds 5.91[b].038 -> reboot -> and get those results (and still the same glitches and gaps):

Perhaps it would best to contact support@stardock.com and reference this forum post.

Nothing changed. No further help from the support. ...like a black hole: "Send us this report, send us that logfile" and then silence.

The bug is still in the "final" version. grmpfl

By chance have you changed the system wide font settings? I.e. the old "use large fonts" option in display properties?
