Skin non-theme aware programs - which are these?

from Stardock Forums

A feature of WindowBlinds enhanced version is skinning "non-theme aware programs". WB doesn't skin Office 2007 or Google Chrome. I'm assuming those fit into the non-theme aware program. What are some other non-theme aware programs that it does skin?

I love the product. Just wish there was a tad more uniformity so that WB could apply to more apps.

Thanks in advance.

Two that I know of right off the top of my head - iTunes and Photoshop CS4.

Neither of those are "non themeaware apps"

A non themeaware app is an app that does not use a manifest to use the XP common controls.  In such apps the controls like buttons, comboboxes etc would appear as Windows Classic style when using the Windows XP style / Aero themes.  With WindowBlinds they are skinned.

Apps which intentionally skin themselves such as itunes will naturally not skin (many of those apps don't even have real controls to skin, they are just images)
