Windows Explorer Not Skinning Fully

File/Home/Share/View not skinning

from Stardock Forums

Hi Gang,

 

Just installed Object Desktop and I'm loving it by and large with one minor problem. I can't seem to get any of the themes I've applied to skin the menus in Windows Explorer. File, Home, Share, View are plain and not taking the button skinning function Window Blinds normally applies. Am I doing something wrong or missing a setting?

That sounds like the ribbon bar in which case if you install the WindowBlinds beta 10.45 it should look a lot better as the background area behind the bar will match the skin.  The tabs themselves will remain as is (though picking up the system colours a bit better)

The Ribbon does match a lot better with the beta Build! :)

Another alternative would be "Old/New Explorer". The Ribbon will still show on Paint and the like, where it might be more necessary.
