Advanced Configuration - do these options exist?

from Stardock Forums

Hi, I now have a licensed version of WindowBlinds, and would like to find the options shown here:

I've not been able to find anything like these.. hope I'm missing something that should be obvious.

Essentially I just want to skin explorer backgrounds and ideally the control panel etc.

Everything else I can do (that's a standard window) I can do without Windowblinds - including keeping the colour after resuming from hibernation (when everyone confirms it's lost).

 

Thanks!

That is a really old version of Windowblinds.  Just click on the Settings icon (the gear) in the upper right area of Windowblinds 8.06, all available settings are there. You may also click on Color, Texture and Background to change things in those areas also.

I can't get the link to work...

Yeah, the link doesn't work if you click on it but if you copy it and put it in the search window above it gets you there.  Using IE 11.

Thanks - I was really hoping to be able to only change the explorer background. Problem is, as is well known, if I use Windowblinds (on Win 8.1) to change the frame, then I lose anything added - like icons from Filebox extender (which may disappear or be distorted or mispositioned) and right click options as from PowerMenu.

With Aeroglass I have transparency; I can have a rounded Win 7 like theme; I can set the window background (bar explorer, control panel...) to a pale yellow on most other things - and not lose it after resuming from hibernation, despite MS having so thoughtfully taken away the Appearance and Settings GUI - which just leaves explorer (almost white) for the most part.

So the old settings here appeared to allow very selective application of a skin, and that interested me.
