WindowBlinds on Windows 8 and Secondary Monitor Issues

July 9, 2013 9:05:37 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I have WindowBlinds installed on Windows 8 and it seems that when I run any theme other than the default Windows 8 theme (YUCK!), when windows open on the secondary monitor in a maximized form, the window gets distorted and the only way to fix it is to un-maximize the window and re-maximize the window.  Also, it seems that there is some kind of extra border around the window that that seems to stop the window from fully maximizing on the secondary monitors and the contents of said maximized window doesn't fully fill the monitor.

Please post a screenshot like #2 using Precision.

Thanks

Precision is one of the skins that are shipped with WindowBlinds.

OK, same thing is going on with the Precision skin only it seems far more pronounced with the Precision skin.  Something is definitely broken here.

I downgraded to Windows 7 from Windows 8 (I wiped and reloaded) and installed WindowBlinds on Windows 7 and the issue exists even on Windows 7.
