Tab text

Running the latest WindowBlinds 7 on a Win7 64. I applied a new visual style downloaded from WinCustomize.

The issues it gives me is that I see no text on the tab bars. For example if I open my control panel open date&time, there is three tabs, but no text on them.

Hey.

Can you post the about info from WB and a link to the skin you applied?

A screenshot might help too.

This happens with other skins too.

I also experience strange shadow in Firefox over the tabs, when Firefox is not in fullscreen. Not in IE though.

The skin you referenced looks like it doesn't have a 7 substyle.  Does it happen with any of the skins that came with WindowBlinds?

That skin is from 2008.  Can you try something newer?

I haven't experienced it with skins that came with WindowsBlinds, yet I haven't tested all.

Most likely, then, it's an issue with the skin, not WindowBlinds, especially considering the skin was designed for XP only.
