Fully tested this release on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with only one issue. With Skype 7.33 installed the menu bar has issues, and the drop down menus are no longer using the menus from the skin applied. The menu bar is the correct color except for anywhere there is text on it (Skype, Contacts, Call, etc.), that is white, and all the drop down menus are white also. Not a big issue, but maybe something that could be fixed.

Other than that I have noticed no other issues. Fantastic job everyone!  :thumbsup:

I will install on Windows 8.1 and 10 in a bit to see how things work too. Will let you know.

So glad this is here.

I had the insider build install last night.  When I logged in this morning I had no desktop (and no idea WB was the cause).  I ended up repairing the OS and began the tedious task of reinstalling my apps.  Once I installed WB and applied a skin, BOOM, desktop vanished again.

I can say this build certainly addresses the issue.  I have it installed on insider 15048 and an eye pleasing skin applied with no issues so far.

Top notch Stardock!

I hope Windows Blinds will continue to function properly after Windows 10 Creators Update,

when elements of the alleged 'Project Neon' begin surfacing in W10 CU, cuz it looks even more bland, IMHO!

I seemed to have stumbled on an issue. WB 10.58, W10 Insider 15061.

All mouse hover thumbnail frames have lost their style; now they're all this translucent blur frame no matter the skin!

Still investigating, but, any thoughts?

Did you by any chance set your transparency on the taskbar to full?

No transparency within WB, but I turned ON transparency in Windows Settings and it solved the issue! Go figure! Thanks for the clue! ;)

Ok, I have installed this now on all my systems, no problems to speak of on Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 except for that minor menu bar color issue in Skype. I can live with that. ☺
