windows blinds program window

Hi everyone
I am loving the program, working good, the only issue/problem I have is when I launch Windows Blinds from my Task bar, It seems that I can't see everything in the window. Does that make sense??

Everything is fine on the left, but as I am reading it continues on, and I can't see what is on the right.
it is like the window isn't big enough and the writing is too big for the page. So I am not able to click any buttons over there (if there is any)

I hope this makes sense?!! Is there a way to fix this problem so I can see "everything" on the page.
Thanks

open up Windowblinds interface (WB6) under LOOK and FEEL then under FONTS with the slider make sure it is at lest no bigger then NORMAL and if you move it, to set you have to click on APPLY CHANGES.
or it will not change...

The file dates look good for the trial.
When did you install WB?

Thanks for the info on the screenshot...I was trying to get it done this morning, but had to leave to go to work. and my ISP was giving me grief
I have it done now though...

I installed WB on Sunday.

Ok let me see if this works....






You can kinda make out how there is button on the left, but I can't get to it really or read what the text says.

I am trying to get another Image loaded But I having issues and I keep timing out...
Will post another one as soon as I can

Wrong DPI?
A really long font name?

Does it only happen with this window?
Reply #10 Top
It happens in all the windows. no matter what tab I hit, they all stretch to the right like that and then I can't see or access some buttons or see some images...unless I use my arrow buttons on my keyboard I can see the wallpapers in that tab but the text doesn't move.

Make sure yoru DPI is set to normal [Link]
Reply #12 Top
what resolution is your monitor set to?
Reply #13 Top
DPI is set on normal and my screen resolution is set too 1024x768.

They have been set that way since I have had this PC (3 yrs) and I have never had an issue with there settings and any other programs.

Played around with the fonts on here and nothing has changed, it is still the same. everything else changes but nothing in the WB program window.

Try setting your skin back to default. See if that fixes it.

No change. I am at a loss...I will chalk it up to that is just the way it runs on this computer I guess...

Are you running WindowsFX?

No I don't, I have WB and recently downloaded Object Dock. But this issue with WB started as soon as I downloaded it and went to open the WB program.

I also just found in one of the forums on here that someone else had the same issue as me, except he worded it better :LOL: and he never got his problem resolved either.
He ended going back to WB5...

I asked because I was looking at your shot and comparing to my wb config using Molten

It appears something has shortened the overall window width

look how the letters in my tabs line up using "WindowBlinds Configuration" in the title bar as a reference:

it's like the window width has been shortened.

WindowsFX can be used to limit the size of your windows - haven't tried it out, so not really sure what effect it would have on WB since WB isn't able to resize.

Try 1152x864

So that is what my WB config should look like ;)

OK..I tried even changing the screen resolution settings, I put it at 1152x864 and nothing even changed on the WB config window at all. Actaully, it made it worse in a way.
It is like all other program windows will change like they should except the WB window.

I played with the fonts, and it didn't change it either, just everything else on my PC (like it should)

Bichur~ when you took your screen shot, is that what your WB config window truly looks like? I guess what I am asking is, when you open the program, is the screen that size on your desktop?

cause mine doesn't look like that at all, when I open WB config window, it takes up the whole screen. It doesn't look anything like yours does.

The way mine looks it makes me wanna resize the window but of course I can't. It's like everything is just too big for the window...weird..
But it works fine. I have had no issues.

I am just wondering though, when my trial version is done, and if I do decide to buy it, is the config window still gonna remain that way with the bought version??

I am a new trial user and also having the same problem on a Dell Inspiron 8600. You can see below that the desktop preview is not displayed properly. Since I cannot get the WB window to resize, I am missing information. Making the font smaller doesn't help (but it sure does make everything harder to see). I do not have this problem with any other program and do not use WindowsFX. I'm not sure I got the images posted correctly - please let me know. Can this be fixed?




Thanks, Scott

I wonder if we are all maybe overlooking the fact that possibly the trial has a bug, either by design or by oops.  :NOTSURE:
