Same problem here. No skin will apply. And if you reboot when windows starts it's reverted back to windows classic theme. Not even 7 aero. Uninstalled , cleaned reg and reinstalled WB8. Now asking me to re activate but when i input my product key it takes ages and then gives me the message that it's having issues contacting the activation server. Let me know when WB10 final is released until then WB10 stays away from my PC.

For those needing the Rebuild List function, I discovered a workaround. Copy your WindowBlinds folder into Public Documents first, (C:\Users\Public\Documents\Stardock) then install WB10.

I'm keeping WB 8.13 on Win 8.1

Got Win 10 on dual boot so going to give WB 10 a go there.

Never mind, I decided it was time to renew my subscription anyway and it's done!  Will let you know how WB 10 beta works here.  Thank you, Neil Banfield and all those who helped make WB 10 possible!

Just installed WB 10 beta along with Start10 and my desktop is back to its old, beautiful self.  Even my old favorite WB skins are working beautifully.  Start10 has made waiting for WB 10 a lot easier but it sure is nice to have WB back again.  So far, everything is working beautifully and I am over the moon happy 

Please note that this is a support thread and as such stick with reporting issues you find with the beta app.

Could it be the dual boot thing, Wiz? WB8 had no prob with that...dunno re WB10, though. Neil knows, though.

hmm weird.it must only affect certain machines as my pos pawn shop computer runs everything even wb10 beta perfectly. course i also let ms install all my drivers from new.i will add though,course im not sure if this was windowblinds fault or just a hiccup in one of my drivers but when i first tried it attempted to unload my gfx driver and install and it broke my pc,forcing me to do a fresh install on windows 10 altogether.i still had files from previous windows 8 on an upgrade and that could have messed it up.but on a fresh install everything runs smooth.im using nemesis.wba and everythings skinned even explorer backgrounds.

perhaps like windows 10 had issues with certain pcs,in turn windowblinds has issues with some pcs due to ms negligiance.

just a thought.otherwise as a beta i like where it is going

I am dual booted here, and triple booted in the other room. No problems whatsoever, other than the tray icon thing.

What is wrong with the UI?

A great holiday gift! 

Thanks Stardock!!

About and settings are pages in the app on the left side.

The UI can be resized but it sounds like you have a low res monitor.  The next build allows a smaller vertical size IF the monitor is smaller than 900 pixels tall.

Did some Screenshots, english's not my native language... easier to explain :]

Yes, using Start 10 too and Blinds and Start latest versions... One Update just before a short time.... Does not matter which skin i use, that black background is everytime there in the rightclick menus and second one is Tor Browser menu with transparent header.... Its normal shown with default windows scheme but with Windowblinds transparent

Windowblinds Color "use taskbar/startmenu from the current skin"
Windows settings: Automatic colour / does not matter if enabled or not
