Windowblinds Black and White Issue

Please help!

November 30, 2009 12:56:33 AM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

Can someone please help me?

 

Why is it that when I apply a Windowblinds skin...

 

Everything goes black and white? Well... except the Wallpaper and cursor... but...

 

Why does this happen? Windowblinds has been activated on my Computer...

 

I have a 256 MB Video Card RAM... so this isn't a problem of my Video Card...

 

When I restore my theme to Normal... the color goes back...

 

The Windowblinds Skin I used is Christmas Holidays by Adni18

 

I'll supply you

 

with my screenshots... here's the link:

 

Redirects to my Screenshot Album.

It looks like you have enabled greyscale mode on the colours tab.

Go to that tab and untick the box and you should get coloured skins again.

I actually have the same problem. If I re-color, it correctly shows the color I have chosen, but if I set the re-color back to "none" It only shows grey-scale. It happens on all skins. The preview in the config show the right colors by the way.

In wb 6 there was an option to "remove all color", and I know I had that switched on when I upgraded from wb6 to 7. But I don't see an option like that in the wb7 config on the colors tab (or anywhere else). I also don't see it on the screenshots in the help function.

Am I missing something? Where is that option you mention?

The greyscale option is the colour below none on the colours tab.  I was thinking of WB6 when I mention unticking boxes.

It may be there is a bad registry key left over from having that set on WB6 before upgrading.

If you are comfortable with regedit you can remove it by deleting the following key in regedit.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\wb5.ini\Map

You will also want to delete the Greyscale key in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\wb5.ini\WBLiteFX

I deleted the Greyscale key in

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Stardock\WindowBlinds\wb5.ini\WBLiteFX

That did the trick

Thx!
