Windowblinds Control Panel Cut Off at Bottom

from Stardock Forums
Anyone have any idea why, after an uninstall, reinstall, changing fonts, changing font size, changing skins, my WB 6 control panel is cutoff at the bottom not allowing me to access options contained there? I am also unable to resize the window as a way of resolving the problem.

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.0 (build 52 x86 - Vista Edition)

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC
WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC
(Generic PnP Monitor) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT

Have you ever changed your System dialog font in the registy, either manually using regedit or via some sort of 'transformation pack'?

If so that is your problem.

1) post your WB system information

2) what is your screen dpi set to?

Sorry Bichur, should have done this the first time:

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 6.2 (build 61 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.

I did notice (when getting this information from the sys info tab in wb) that I can enable per-pixel skinning if I have corrupted titlebar buttons & text backgrounds - does this sound correct and does it relate to my problem? I ususally leave wb unloaded (stick with default win xp style) due to the fault with the wb control panel size, do I check this box then apply my changes - then unload wb? I'm lost.....

ps: screen dpi is set to 96

cool that worked, see the top right hand corner of the window where the "apply changes" button is out of view? same with theme manager below, no min/max button and cant resize the window.... (?)

last example, this one with large bold text and buttons are masked (defintely should not look like this

What resolution are you running at? I think the config window is set for 1024x768 or higher.

my res is 1024x768 - i am totally stumped, why the large bold text and some buttons/progress bars (on dbpoweramp) are not displaying properly? anyone else having this problem? its driving me nuts  X-(

See comment # 2....

You aren't running windowblinds with that theme selected so Windowblinds most likely isn't the cause of the problem.

I would try uninstalling all Stardock software... reboot, and see if you still have the problem. Reinstall as needed.

are you using WindowFX by any chance?
Reply #18 from WinCustomize Forums Top
I have windows fx installed but I leave all stardock software unloaded because of the problems it seems to have caused, any ideas?

have you tried #16?


possibly, right click desktop > properties > check the fonts (size and whether bolded), even if set correctly, change it, apply, put it back, apply




you happen to use a program called Direct Folders?
