Severe skin problem on Explorer

Window colors don't display...

from Stardock Forums

Hi everyone ,

I'm a new user, then sorry if i missed something or... I'm trying WB and still got an awful problem on all styles. On Explorer, the background stay white (i would enjoy a black one, i already found a skin i like...). Even the 2 other backgrounds in the window are white too (favorite links and folders). The bar where you can find Organize, Play, Play All, Display and many more (sorry translation may be wrong, i use a french Vista) stay an awful blue-grey. Finaly, i noticed in IE that the tabs (where you can select different web pages on one window) keep their default vista color. I tried to search for any option in WB configuration but i didn't found anything, then atm i use no visual style, and i just bought ObjectDesktop  :SNIFF!: 

Many thanks to anyone that will help or try to.

The problem is you are using skins that have not skinned those areas of Vista. Try some different skins, especially the ones listed as Vista ready.

Thank you for your fast reply =)

I saw that Vista Ready somewhere, but i can't remember it. Where is it written usually ? Looked for many styles, and i didn't saw it anymore. Do you have any tip to find them easily ?

Thanks a lot :)

GT3 isn't Vista ready.

Look under the thumbnail/screenshot of the skin you are viewing in the gallery. You will see a Vista ready logo if it is Vista ready. If there is no logo it is not Vista ready.

Open Windowblinds configuration, look for System info, copy ALL of the text you see and post it here. :)

Oops, i did a mistake, tried to sort the skins by overall downloads, then it removed the Vista Ready filter. I found the good ones, thanks and sorry for the mistake ^^

Any other compatibilities i'd know for Vista ? By the way, there isn't a lot of VS for Vista at the moment, hope to see more soon =p

Anyway, thank you for your answers and for the skins you are making. If i can be helpfull, please let me know ;)
