Unable to Apply Skins

from Stardock Forums

Well I recently installed Window Blinds and noticed that it's unable to apply skins now. Before it was fine, but now whenever I try to apply a skin it combines it with Windows Classic and makes one horribly ugly skin. Suggestions?

Can you send us the current verion information? Update your drivers of late? All skins do this or just some?

Also did you install the full version over the trial version? If so you will need to uninstall, restart, then reinstall to clear the issue.

Open up WindowBlinds configuration and post the system info.  Is this the trial version by chance?
