Checkboxes and some UI not displaying correctly

from Stardock Forums

Recently my computer has had problems displaying checkboxes and some other UI components (the foreground and background, I think, are the same).  The controls still work, but there is no clear checkbox and no difference between checked and unchecked.  In some programs table headers are "blank".  Unloading windowBlinds restores all functionality.  This has only been happening for a few days.

What could have gone wrong?  I don't want to stop using WindowBlinds, but this makes some programs and web pages unusable.

Thanks,

Scott

Have you changed your theme recently?

I think screenshots and information on which products are having this issue would be useful.  Could you contact support@stardock.com and send them more information please.

It happens with all themes (at least I've tried a half dozen or so and  it happens with all of them).  Here are some screen shots:

Here is what it is supposed to look like (with Window Blinds unloaded):

No Window Blinds Screen Shot

 

Any ideas?

OK, for some reason it didn't like some of my screen shot pastes, so I had to try a couple of times.  This was another failure, but I can't delete the reply.  I edited the original message above with links to my web site.

I'm going to be reporting this issue shortly. Thanks for sending in the ticket sgartner.

More information.  If I install the new BETA AMD Catalyst video device driver the checkboxes return, but I'm having other video anomalies (significant drawing issues in the title bars of applications, minimize/maximize buttons not drawing consistently, strange redraw issues in the start menu).  If I return to the previous (release) video device driver they go away again, so it is clearly a direct issue with version 4.14 of the device driver (specifically 14-4-win7-win8-win8.1-64-dd-ccc-whql) though I've had that version installed since 5/28 and the UI problems only started fairly recently.
