Eudora doesn't skin properly

from Stardock Forums

I have Windowblinds 7 in Windows 7 installed and it works fine mostly.

Mostly means that, if I remember well, all the skins that came with it work with all the applications but some I downloaded don't work with ONE APPLICATION: Eudora. This is almost valuable application for me and I would be very glad if it worked.

The problem is the following: most of the items in Eudora menu (File, Edit, Message, Special, Tools, Help) are regular and respond to the transparency adequately. But there are two (Transfer, Mailbox) that refer to certain class of folders that are not proper menus but look like text boxes or something like that. These dont display their content and therefore one can't see the items inside.

Initially I though it was a flaw in certain skins (Sabertooth, GotMilk, Arsenic, Snowleopard and the like) but it sems to me that it is more a problem with WB.

Has anyone suffered this or am I alone (and desperate) in this trouble?

Regards

Some apps dont play well with WB, you might need to set an exclusion in WB to not skin the program. tho first i would try going in to settings and checking the " Controls in applications which are not theme aware should not be skinned" box and apply, It may help.. if not you may have to completely exclude the app..

Thank you for the answer. However even if excluding the misbehaving application were acceptable (I would like to have all the applications wear the same dress) WB isn't up to the task: a light halo is sown around the window that spoils the workaround. If i were able I would include an image.

I'll keep searching
