WindowBlinds windows are chopped off?

from Stardock Forums

I am having an issue with the windowblinds configuration window being too narrow...with no resize functionality and no scrollbar funtion to move the contents to the left to see what's chopped off. Specifically, when I go to windowblinds configuration - wallpaper - there is a scrollbar to move the wallpapers from left to right and back but the window itself is cut off and I cannot move it or resize it. In the help file it says to click on the icon beside "filter by tabs" to add folders to where window blinds looks for wallpapers but I can't access it because the window is too short and I can't move it over or resize the window to see the icon

Everyone once in a while this problem comes up and it is usually due to the resolution that the computer is running at.

What is the size of your monitor and the resolution set at?

This must be a skin-specific problem. The WB config is 800X600, and that monitor is a 24"....
Running it at lower than 800X600 must be considered as a crime ;)

I've tried changing my res to half a dozen settings including 800x600 and there is no difference :(

I've got the exact same problem on my Vista 64-bit. Most boxes that I should be able to choose [x] enabled or [ ] disabled are not showing either. I loved the skin "Dragon (Vista)" and enabled it, then many windows-programs don't show titlebar, menue's, buttons. That incl. MSN, IE, Firefox, etc. I've even tried to reinstall WindowBlinds and change resolution from 1680x1050 to everything below that.

This problem was noted in the forums before and it turned out to be a software conflict,I'll search and see if I can find it. Here it is.  https://forums.wincustomize.com/306481 Are you running Direct Folders by any chance?
