Disabling WB's hijacking of the Display Properties?

I'd prefer that my msstyles skins show up in the DP (hacked .dll) and access the WB skins through the normal dialog. In addition, the performance hit when opening the display properties with WB and the Theme Manager in there slows it down by a factor of 5... :/ Is it possible to disable this "feature"? (My searches only turned up stuff about skinning the display properties)

I don't think so....as the intention of Windowblinds is to entegrate 'correctly' with the OS GUI....actually more appropriately than any other 'method' of skin application. 'Hijacking' is an emotive word which is not what integration is about. Not being someone who runs both WB and StyleXP I don't encounter any issue, but perhaps others may be able to help...

Trying to read your mind... nope, definately not a mindreader. Are you hinting toward uninstalling WB?

If you come here with an attitude, attacking the program saying that it hijacked your display properties, it won't get you helpful friendly responses to resolve your inquery. Cordiality on the other hand...

I for one, won't spend my free time dealing with hostile people. I have to deal with them enough at work. Kindness on the other hand....

Well, we 'are' in the Help Forum.

I apologize if I offended you Jafo or ChasUGC, but I consider a feature that makes "integration" changes such as this without the possibility to turn it off as an unwanted control - hence the word choide of "hijacking" in the original post. I consider this disagreement resolved, hopefully you do too.

Back to the topic, there is no .ini tweak or something obscure to tell WB not to integrate into the DP?
