Windowblinds 8.13 under Windows 7x64

Menu Glitch

from Stardock Forums

I'm using Windows 7 x64 & I'm getting a weird shadow glitch/flickering at the right side of the start menu when I click on All Programs. After some experimentation I've noticed that if I turn off, 'Animate controls & elements in Windows' it goes away, but then I lose some animations. Now that I've noticed it, it's really annoying. I tried updating to the latest Nvidia drivers 390.77, but it still happens. I'm assuming this is a bug in Windowblinds 8.13. Does anyone know of a proper fix?

Thanks! Any help would be much appreciated.  

PS. Does Windowblinds 10 work under Windows 7 and does it support Explorer texture backgrounds?

Hello,

May I know what skin you using for that flickering ?

And as for second question. Yes Windowblinds 10 do work on Windows 7. I am on Windows 7 64, and Windowblinds 10 work without a problem.

I've noticed that it does it on every skin. As for Windowblinds 10, I already have it, but I would rather use Windowblinds 8 under Windows 7, so I can use explorer textured backgrounds. Does Windowblinds 10 now support textured explorer backgrounds? The last time I tried it, it didn't.

Thanks! :)

Hello Basj, Well I've installed Windowblinds 10 and I can't find anyway to add a texture to the Explorer background. Could you please let me know how you did it?

Thanks! :)

If your on Windows 10 backgrounds aren't supported. Only in 7 and 8. The only way you can change the background is in SkinStudio and you can only change it to a color.
