List of Progams that do not work with winblinds

I think stardock should look into this. I bought the program and am not using it now.
Reason why it interfears with programs I use.

IMVU - the 3D window can not be resized.
Nero 7 essentials - Nero crashes when trying to add files to the burning list.

Don't know if this will help but have you gone into WindowBlinds Configuration under Setting and select Change the look of an app and exclude the apps that are having problems with WB. Like I said not sure if this will help, maybe something else going on. Worth a try.

I have you IMVU and Nero Vaudevillian and I don't have any problems with either program. Must be something going on in you OS. Sorry...

Admunchers configuration screen - Clicking anywhere within that screen with WB6 loaded caused the app to close completely. Adding it to the exclusion list solves this, but makes it look ass-ugly.

Fix it please...

Please to help us to help you can you provide your systems informations they look like this:

WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 5 (5.51 (build 97 x86))

WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC

WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC

Your machine does not support per pixel borders on WindowBlinds skins.

This is because :

Your computer graphics hardware does not support acceleration of per pixel alpha. WindowBlinds requires this for per pixel alphablended borders as without it performance would be poor. Please see if you can obtain new drivers for your graphics hardware. Recent ATI & NVIDIA boards should support this feature. Onboard graphics tend not to.

Can you upload a screenshot of what that program looks like. I'm curious as I've never heard of it before.

Also, if its "ass-ugly" when excluded isn't that the programs own fault. WindowBlinds only skins Windows Native GUI. I'm assuming its just the window borders that are skinned in this application.
