Hi,

Do you have a problematic shadow border with latest build of WindowBlinds 6.09g[b].135?

Also, since the installation of this new build of WindowBlinds, many lag problem with CursorFX. Before the installation of this new build with Impulse, all works fine without any problem.

No problem here. Kinda hard to see when you have it against a dark background.

Windows XP or Windows Vista? (WindowBlinds 6.09g[b].135 with Windows XP doesn't have this problem)

Try this > Open WindowBlinds configuration panel and click on 'Vista-ize me' (Transparency & Blur) and click 'Apply changes' with this same skin (Buzzz).

I see it now. I don't use the Vista-ize me option.

Ahh excellent! I'm not alone with this bug. Now, I have problem with some skins with or without Vista-ize me activated.

Uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, same problem with WindowBlinds 6.09g[b].135 only. Lag problem with CursorFX is gone after this reinstallation.

Thank ALMonty for these replies!

I don't think of it as a bug. I never use this option. I like to use the transparencies manually. But glad I could help.

Yes, it as a bug, the problem is a problematic options: 'Vista-ize me' and 'Only blur the background if the skin has blur enabled'.

WindowBlinds 6.09g[b].135 = buggy as hell:

- Vista-ize me > Off (Reset default)
- Only blur the background if the skin has blur enabled > On

Result:


- Vista-ize me > Off (Reset default)
- Never blur the background even if the skin has blur enabled > On

Result (no blur/border shadow problem):


Same problem with 2 computers under Windows Vista.
