Bug Report and A Question

from Stardock Forums

I'm using the latest Windowblinds trial version, and whenever I apply any skin with it, a window of a particular IRC channel I frequent (Always the same one) has its borders changed, but not in the same way as the rest of the IRC windows I have open. It also keeps resizing to smaller and smaller sizes, even losing the text input box until I manually resize it, whenever I open the start menu, or switch from window to window. See the attached picture.

I am using mIRC version 6.17. WindowBlinds 7 (7.01 Build 83 x86)-Shareware, on a Windows XP Home SP3.

As for the question: I was wondering if purchasing WindowBlinds would be enough to be able to change the background colour of Windows Explorer windows in skins I like.

Yes, this is enabled in the full version

As far as the mIRC issue, it's one I haven't seen before, and it's odd that it's just one window.  Does re-applying the skin help at all?

Re-applying the skin does not help, switching skins doesn't either (except if I'm switching back to the default XP skin). I figured that the fact the channel ends with a ".com" might have something to do with it, since it's the only way that channel is really different from the rest of the ones I'm on.

Thanks for the answer.

I checked to see if the problem persists in the latest version of mIRC, and it does.

Are you sure you don't have any mIRC addins / scripts?

A large number of people at Stardock use mIRC without problems with WindowBlinds.

Yes, I am sure, I even tried a brand new version of mIRC (without installing any add-ons or adding scripts to it), and the problem persisted, as I previously said. If I close the window of the particular channel in which I experience those problems, I can report "no problems with WindowBlinds" too, but that doesn't help much, does it? -- As you can see in the screenshot, the rest of the channels I am in fit with the theme without problems.

As I said before, the only thing that distinguishes the problematic channel from the others is the ".com" in its name, perhaps that ".com" has something to do with the bug?
