WindowBlinds problems with opera 10.50

from Stardock Forums

Hi:

I am a windowblinds and opera user and, since the new opera 10.50, windowblinds does not skin opera correctly anymore. I have tried everything that crossed my mind with no success, even excluding has no positive effect. I think it has to do with opera new way of skinning, similar to chrome. If I enable normal aero opera looks fine. I tried to assign default aero just for opera but seems that it is not possible.  Any ideas ?¿   Please help, I can not stand opera so ugly.

My only thought is Opera 10.10.... It's pretty much as fast, and partially skins. You may have to get in touch with Opera's developers with the problem. Some items of software are simply incompatible, and that may be the outcome...

It's odd that Chrome doesn't seem to bother WB7 on my computer, though.

Chrome looks fine in my computer too.

I love Opera, especially this last version, but I suppose I am coming back to Chrome until everything is fixed.

Would be technically possible to run 1 app. with default aero while others are skinned by WBlinds engine ?¿

I am following your advise and telling Opera developers about it.

Thanks for your reply.

My pleasure, eduml369. I think we shouldn't forget that 10.5 seems to be a beta...maybe slightly more than the alpha of a few months ago, but not that much more. I scrubbed it off my disk because it seemed to be rather unstable with WB7. I didn't go into it very deeply, it just looked awful....

I know I am late, but I also have this problem. I have found some skins that work right if you are still interested. You just have to find a skin that separates the top-right window controls from the main tab-bar.
