Clock's Gone

When any Windowblinds skin is applied

from Stardock Forums

Tried to remove/reinstall, taskbar clock's still gone when I apply any Windowblinds skin. I'm also using start10 10.71 and deskscapes 10.0 if that helps. Also, the problem only happens with light windows mode, and taskbar buttons only work in light mode.

The current WindowBlind program is 10.81. This version fixed the clock and taskbar problem.

Mine's 10.81 too, but taskbar is only fixed in light mode which causes clock to disappear.

That is strange. Please try the purge and reinstall steps : https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#reinstalling

Just make sure to re-download the latest WB version again from your account. And after the purge's reboot. Reinstall WB. Reboot and retest. and report back here.

Thank you,

May I know what version of Windows 10 on your system? Use Winver.exe for full version numbers

Hello,

I just recheck my other system and its on the same version of WB and Windows as yours. But I did not see any problem on Light windows mode on this one.

Maybe you can try the cleanboot steps to see if there is conflicting apps on your system : https://forums.stardock.com/486023/windowblinds-support-faq#cleanboot

Try it and let us know.

Thank you,

Thanks to your screenshot I've found a workaround :grin:

Now enable "Use small taskbar buttons" in windows Taskbar settings and check again.

This is resolved in an internal build we have.  It should not be long before it is released.
