WB reverts to "classic" mode on start up

from Stardock Forums

 

Having just started using windowblinds and the rest of the objectdesktop package I'm finding some annoying bugs. I can live with the rest apart from this one......After installing a new theme/skin using windowblinds/desktop manager the pc reverts to classic mode after a restart. Reapply the same skin/theme does nothing. I have to go back to win7 standard theme and then reapply my new theme. It's a real ball ache as there is some great theme/skins out there.

Many thanks for any forthcoming suggestions

Open WindowBlinds and go to About WindowBlinds. Copy and paste the info here. Also, what OS are you using?

 It sounds like you may have 7.20e beta installed, which had the problem you are describing.

Go to your products page, https://store.stardock.com/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/myaccount/products  and download the 7.20f beta or the release(production) version.

Yep, that's the "bad" beta. For that OS(same as mine) you should have build 307. Please uninstall it and redownload the new 7.20f beta and all should be well.
